TUSCALOOSA, Alabama, August 15, 2023 – Inc. revealed today that GRO ranks No. 1,507 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"I am incredibly proud of our team at GRO for achieving this monumental recognition on the Inc. 5000 list for a second year in a row," said Matt Pavlick, President at GRO. "Their hard work and unwavering commitment to serving our partners are what make us thrive. I look forward to a future filled with continued growth, innovation, and a relentless focus on delivering top-tier digital marketing solutions to those who have trusted us on this journey."
This marks the second year that GRO has earned Inc. 5000 honors. In 2022, GRO achieved the #157 overall ranking (#4 in Alabama), with 3-year revenue growth of 3,223%.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

"I am elated to hear the news!
