Aug 30, 2017
For the fourth consecutive year, Digital Media Solutions (DMS), parent company of Best Rate Referrals and Sparkroom, has made the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America

bestratereferrals.com For the fourth consecutive year, Digital Media Solutions (DMS), parent company of Best Rate Referrals and Sparkroom, has made the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. In 2017, DMS was ranked 961st on the Inc. 5000. The company experienced 452 percent revenue growth comparing 2016 revenues to 2013 revenues. Excluding call center division headcount, the corporate staff headcount increased from July 2016 to July 2017 by 47 percent. DMS also plans to expand its Clearwater, Fla. headquarters later this year. The Inc. magazine editorial feature on the 2017 list notes that out of the nearly seven million private companies moving the economy forward every day, only a tiny fraction have demonstrated such remarkably consistent high growth. The repeat ranking on the Inc. 5000 further reiterates the company’s explosive growth and success.
 
“We’re excited that for the fourth year in a row DMS is recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in America,” said Joe Marinucci, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Media Solutions. “Our incredible growth is a result of our competitive team, award-winning programs and expanding need for companies to connect with high intent consumers via agile, scalable and innovative solutions.”
 
Since its inception, DMS has evolved into a full-service performance marketing company that services firms within highly complex and competitive industries including mortgage, education, consumer solutions, financial services, health and careers with vertical-specific brands including Best Rate Referrals and Sparkroom.
 
Earlier this year, DMS was recognized by Inc. magazine for its company culture and employee engagement in its 2017 “Best Workplaces” in America program. The full Inc. 5000 list, including the feature on Digital Media Solutions, is online and in the September 2017 issue of Inc. magazine.
