INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Prolific, the Growth Firm, proudly announces its inclusion in the Inc. 5000 for the eighth consecutive year. This remarkable milestone distinguishes Prolific as the only company headquartered in Indiana to make this prestigious list every year since 2017.
The Inc. 5000 list recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in America based on revenue growth over a three-year span. Securing a spot for eight years in a row underscores Prolific’s unparalleled growth, longevity, and resilience in a competitive market.
“This recognition is a testament not only to the dedication of our team but also to the unmatched growth and impact we’ve delivered for our visionary clients year after year,” says Brad Benbow, Chairman and CEO of Prolific. “Our business is growth; our eight years on this list demonstrates our track record of relentless innovation.”
In 2003, Benbow co-founded JDA Worldwide, the full-service marketing and communications firm that later became the foundation for Prolific’s portfolio of companies. This portfolio also includes Conquer, an Atlanta-based national media agency, Carolina-based Chernoff Newman, and Prolific Capital, the firm’s investment and acquisition arm. Prolific’s team operates from ten offices across seven states and Washington D.C.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
Prolific has experienced incredible growth under the leadership of Brad Benbow, a two-time Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award finalist. In the past five years, Prolific’s revenue has increased fourfold, and its team has expanded by 330%, showcasing significant organizational success. Most notably, we have empowered our world-class non-profit partners to raise an astounding $5.1B, demonstrating Prolific’s impact and commitment to meaningful partnerships.
