Adwerx Named to Inc. 5000 List for Third Consecutive Year

Durham-based digital advertising leader makes prestigious list of America’s fastest growing private companies

Inc. magazine revealed that Adwerx, a leading provider of localized digital advertising, has earned the 2661st position on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This year will mark the third consecutive year that Adwerx has made the list. Adwerx is part of an exclusive list with many notable companies, including Microsoft, Intuit, Zappos, Pandora, Oracle, and Zillow.

Beginning operations in 2013, Adwerx was founded with the concept of leveling the playing field for businesses of all sizes through scalable, automated digital advertising. The company’s role as a leading technology company was established when they launched their first product, Automated Listing Advertising, designed to serve the needs of the real estate industry. Just two years later, Adwerx recently hired its 100th employee, it’s rolling out its newest Enterprise product, Automated Retargeting, and is about to embark on some ambitious steps that have the potential to take the business to entirely new heights.

“We are honored to receive this recognition for the third year in a row and we will continue to focus on building a digital marketing platform that positions every business for success,” said Adwerx CEO Jed Carlson. “Of course, we could not achieve what we have without the top talent that supports this company every day.”

The 2019 Inc. 5000 stands out from past lists, as it shows a staggering amount of growth from companies within very competitive markets. This year’s list achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. This sustained level of growth is extraordinarily rare.

“Needless to say, making the list gets harder every year as your starting base grows. Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years only a fraction have made the list more than once,” said Inc. Editor in Chief James Ledbetter. “A mere one in eight companies have made the list 3 times.”

Adwerx continues its trend of rapid growth, and currently has ten open positions. The company is headquartered in Durham, NC’s historic American Tobacco Campus. To begin your career with Adwerx, please visit about.adwerx.com/careers.
