The DVI Group Rises on List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies – the Inc. 5000
Inc. Magazine today revealed that The DVI Group has jumped by 439 to rank no.1238 on its prestigious list of America's fastest-growing private companies. The strategic communications agency reported an impressive three-year average growth of 363% to become one of the top 10 Atlanta Advertising and Marketing companies on the list, while also achieving the honor of ranking for a second consecutive year.
“To be listed among such innovative and forward-thinking companies for a second time is fantastic, says DVI CEO Matthew Lopes. “As a strategic communications agency specializing in video, we remain confident that whether companies are pitching to investors, recruiting new talent, training their teams, or engaging with customers, video is the most authentic and transformative medium available. Our inclusion on such a prestigious list solidifies that.”
At a local level, the list shows staggering growth. Atlanta Advertising and Marketing companies account for $279.9 million in total revenue and have a median growth of 220%. For DVI, a key part of their success can be attributed to maintaining a focus on long-term and strategic relationships. By expanding the training technologies side of the business and hiring a new Vice President of Sales and Business Development, the company has continued to capitalize on the increasing demand for strategic video content and drive year-on-year growth.
“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

Methodology
The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
