ARLINGTON, Va. — In one of the most challenging business environments in years, especially for small businesses, MarCom Group, a leader in federal recruitment marketing, is proud to be named an honoree on Inc Magazine’s “Inc. 5000” list, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America that have demonstrated exceptional revenue growth, innovation, and resilience over the past three years.
The recognition marks another milestone in MarCom Group’s continued growth as the agency celebrates its 30th year of helping organizations build stronger brands, recruit top talent, and advance missions that matter. Since its founding in 1996, the agency has become a recognized leader in recruitment marketing, partnering with more than 100 federal agencies and departments while expanding its capabilities and investing in new technologies.
“This recognition is a reflection of what’s possible when you stay focused on your purpose and never stop evolving,” said Lauren Rainford, President and CEO of MarCom Group. “As MarCom Group continues to grow, we’re committed to building an agency that embraces innovation, delivers measurable results for our clients, and creates new opportunities for our employees. Being recognized by Inc. reinforces that we’re on the right path, and we’re just getting started.”
The Inc. 5000 is one of the most recognized measures of entrepreneurial success, highlighting companies that are shaping the future of business. MarCom Group joins an accomplished group of organizations that have demonstrated sustained growth despite an increasingly competitive business landscape.
“Our growth has always been intentional,” said Sam Mohs, Chief Financial Officer of MarCom Group. “We’ve made investments in our people, technology, and infrastructure to ensure we’re building a business that’s positioned for long-term success. Being recognized by Inc. validates the disciplined approach we’ve taken to scaling the company while remaining financially strong and focused on delivering value to our clients.”
The recognition follows a period of significant momentum for MarCom Group after its acquisition by Lauren Rainford. The agency’s last few years have been marked by continued expansion in the federal marketplace, investments in cybersecurity and technology, and recognition as one of the top agencies in the Greater Washington region.
