Last week, we received some news worth celebrating: DD.NYC® is officially Inc. 5000. landing at #799 nationwide.With so many incredible companies represented, ranking #58 in Advertising & Marketing feels especially meaningful. But what makes it truly iconic is the timing: this recognition comes as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary. For us, this milestone is about more than just a number. It’s about the trust of our clients, the creativity of our team, and the partnerships that allow us to transform bold ideas into award-winning design, branding, and strategy.
To debut among the top companies nationwide — and to be ranked alongside agencies and brands we’ve long admired — reminds us that the vision we started with a decade ago has real momentum. It’s both a validation of our journey and a challenge to keep raising the bar for what design and strategy can achieve.
For nearly 40 years, the Inc. 5000 list has been the definitive ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Published annually by Inc. Magazine, the list recognizes independent businesses that are shaping industries, creating jobs, and driving innovation across the country.
To be included means more than showing growth on paper — it means standing alongside companies that are pushing boundaries, leading change, and making a measurable impact. Household names like Microsoft, Patagonia, Intuit, Zappos, and Under Armour all appeared on the Inc. 5000 in their earlier years. Today, the list continues to spotlight both rising innovators and established leaders.
By joining this community of companies, DD.NYC® enters a legacy of entrepreneurial excellence that has defined American business for decades.
This year marks the very first time DD.NYC® applied for the list — and to debut in the top 1,000 nationwide and #58 in Advertising & Marketing is a milestone we don’t take lightly. Our industry is competitive, fast-changing, and filled with agencies doing extraordinary work. To stand out on a national stage speaks to the trust our clients place in us and the creativity our team brings to every project.
For us, being recognized in the Advertising & Marketing category validates the unique way we approach design-led storytelling. We don’t just create campaigns or visuals — we build full brand ecosystems that blend strategy, identity, and experience. This honor reflects how that philosophy resonates in the market and translates into real growth.
Growth has always been part of our story. From our early days in New York City to building a global team and collaborating with world-class clients, DD.NYC® has thrived by staying agile, curious, and bold. Being named to the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies is proof that staying true to design excellence and strategic clarity can lead not only to beautiful brands — but sustainable business growth.
And while we’re proud of the numbers, this milestone is really about people:
The clients who trust us to bring their visions to life.
The partners who collaborate with us across industries.
And most importantly, the team that pushes creative boundaries every single day.
The Inc. 5000 list has always been about companies with momentum — those building legacies of impact and innovation. To join that legacy in our 10th year is humbling and energizing. We’re proud of what we’ve built over the last decade, but even more excited for what comes next.
Looking ahead, DD.NYC® will continue to push design forward — building brand identities, digital platforms, and campaigns that don’t just look good, but move industries forward.
