Honors as Chicago's fastest-growing firm in the category belong to Rise Interactive, a firm on the list five years running.

Four Chicago-based marketing agencies have earned spots on the Inc. 5000 list three years running. The Inc. 5000 ranks America's fastest-growing private companies by overall revenue growth annually. Be Found Online's revenues grew 167% this year, earning it No. 2335 overall on the Inc. 5000. L2T Media's revenues grew 199% this year, earning it No. 2029 overall. Commonground Marketing's revenues grew 158% this year, earning it No. 2434 overall. Rise Interactive, enjoying a fifth year running on the list, reports revenue growth of 535% this year, earning it No. 843 overall.

"We're honored to 3-peat," said Be Found Online President and Chief Search Artist Dan Golden. "Our growth is driven by a commitment to service excellence. As digital media has become more complex and diverse, smaller firms have had to grow or die."

"A small digital agency that stays small is going to struggle to find and keep team members with deep, specific expertise in the many strategies and tactics needed to succeed," said Golden. "Thus far, Be Found Online has been blessed with the right culture and systems to grow and keep service levels high."

A place on Inc's lists of the fastest-growing firms has become a mark of entrepreneurial success. The 2014 Inc. 5000 list, including company profiles and an interactive database, is at www.inc.com/5000.
