LeapFrog Interactive Enjoys Third Year of Increasing Rank on Inc. 5000
Posted on August 29, 2009
LFI continues its charge up the list with another successful year in 2008. Hard work, dedication, and creativity lead the drive to keep the agency moving forward.
Inc. has ranked LeapFrog Interactive, a full-service interactive agency,
No. 1,444 on its annual listing of the 5,000 fastest-growing private
companies in the United States. LeapFrog enjoyed a considerable bump in
the rankings, rising 1,851 spots from its position in 2008.
Consistent
growth has been the catalyst for LeapFrog's success. From 2005 through
2008, the interactive agency has enjoyed a revenue growth rate ten times greater than its industry benchmark.
The reason behind that kind of return is rooted in LeapFrog's
philosophy of providing performance-driven work for its clients.
"Dedication
to our clients and going the extra mile for them is what enables us to
achieve an honor like this," LeapFrog Chief Executive Officer Daniel
Knapp said about the agency's placement in this year's Inc. 5000 list.
"It's this kind of extra effort put in by our very driven team that has
helped us stay strong during these challenging economic times."
In
addition to being ranked on the Inc. 5000 list, LeapFrog Interactive
has also been awarded a place on Business First's Fast 50 list for 3
years running, and has been recognized as a member of Louisville's High
Impact companies each year since the program's inception.
This
marks the third year for Inc.'s annual list. The 5000 list is the most
comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -
America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. It offers a unique report
card on the U.S. economy, revealing that despite the recession, the
private, fast-growing companies on the list have continued to have an
impact on the economy.
"Savvy trend spotters and those who
invest in private companies," said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim
Melloan, "know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about
young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of
unprecedented business models as well as older private companies that
are still expanding at an impressive rate."
The Inc. 5000
is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2005 through
2008. To qualify, companies must be able to show four full calendar
years of sales, be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and
independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies.
