Platform Marketing Makes the INC 5000 List Again
Platform Marketing Ranks No. 2,851 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 110 Percent, Platform Makes the Inc. 5000 for the Second Consecutive Year
NEW YORK, August 18, 2026 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, has announced that Platform Marketing is No. 2,851 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
This marks Platform Marketing’s second consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000, following its debut at No. 4,161 in 2025. Platform climbed more than 1,300 spots on this year’s list after achieving 110 percent revenue growth over three years, up from the 85 percent three-year growth recognized in 2025.
The Inc. 5000 provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment: independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“We’re really honored to make this list again. To not only make the Inc. 5000 for a second year, but to move up more than 1,300 spots and grow by 110 percent over three years says a lot about our team and the value we’re bringing to our real estate clients,” said CEO Tim Chermak. “We’ve continued growing through a challenging real estate market because our clients see the value in what we do. We only work with one agent per market, and that exclusivity has helped us build an incredibly loyal client base. None of this would be possible without the awesome team we’ve built over the past decade.”
Platform’s continued growth comes during a period of significant change within both the real estate and digital marketing industries. Despite those challenges, the company has continued expanding its nationwide client base while maintaining its focus on personalized marketing, local market exclusivity, and hands-on coaching.

Platform’s approach is designed to build real estate agents into recognized local authorities through custom content and targeted advertising that often doesn’t look or feel like traditional advertising.
