Brandmint ranked No. 2,848 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, earning a place among the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.

The Rochester-based content-first advertising agency achieved 110% three-year revenue growth from 2022 through 2025, reflecting the continued expansion of its team, capabilities, and client base.

For Brandmint President and Founder Louie Maier, the recognition is a milestone in a larger journey.

“More than ‘getting bigger,’ this honor means we’re building something that’s creating value for clients, our team, and the communities we’re part of,” said Maier. “I’m incredibly proud of our team and always grateful to our clients for letting Brandmint be a part of their own growth. We remain as excited and optimistic as ever, as we continue to evolve.”

Established in 2011, Brandmint builds marketing ecosystems designed to help growing brands save time, maximize their marketing investments, and increase their output and impact. The agency has continued to expand its capabilities through strategic growth, including the acquisitions of Native Collab in 2020 and Communiqué Design & Marketing in 2022.

In 2026, Brandmint expanded its technology capabilities further through the acquisition of Rochester-based digital advertising technology company Adventive. The acquisition brought Adventive’s proprietary rich media ad-creation and ad-serving technology into the Brandmint ecosystem, giving the agency new ways to connect creative, content, media, and technology for its clients.

The 2026 Inc. 5000 recognizes companies based on their percentage revenue growth from 2022 through 2025. Brandmint’s 110% growth earned it a place on the national ranking alongside thousands of independent businesses across industries.

While the recognition reflects how much Brandmint has grown over the past three years, it also indicates the expanding capabilities we’re bringing to clients today.
