The agency ranked number 468 overall.<\/p>\n<p>This prominent list is composed of the nation\u2019s fastest-growing small and midsized businesses and has become a benchmark of entrepreneurial success. Directive joins the ranks of LinkedIn, Pandora, Timberland, Microsoft, Zillow, Yelp, and many other well-known companies that have been featured on the list over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Complete results of the Inc.\u00a05000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/inc5000\">www.inc.com\/inc5000<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a team, we are thrilled to be included in the Inc.\u00a05000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. It is particularly exciting to be among the top 500,\u201d said CEO and Co-founder Garrett Mehrguth. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of the dedication of this team and their phenomenal efforts to make Directive one of the leading search marketing agencies for enterprise brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder and COO Tanner Shaffer described the team\u2019s reaction as \u201cAn immediate rush of joy. Growing 300 percent year-over-year, back to back, for five years is not easy. I am proud of the team and their hard work to generate and service that growth. It gets me pumped and gives me the energy to jump back into the cool search marketing initiatives we are developing for the next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Honorees of the Inc.\u00a05000 list are ranked according to the percentage growth of their annual revenue over three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe companies on this year\u2019s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,\u201d says\u00a0Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. \u201cThere\u2019s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since its establishment in 2014, Mehrguth has led Directive in its expansion of five global offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Austin, Texas; and London. Additionally, he is committed to bridging the gender gap that plagues the marketing technology; currently, 25 percent of Directive\u2019s leadership team is comprised of women.<\/p>\n<p>Directive is currently composed of over 50 employees of over nine nationalities. Both this headcount and their global expansion are expected to continue growing due to the company\u2019s recent success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2019 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018.
