Connect Media Ranks in Top 25% on Inc. 5000 Roster of Fastest-Growing Companies

Connect Media, a commercial real estate news, conferences, and creative services agency, has been included in the 38th annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. In its first year of eligibility, Connect ranks among the top 25% of companies listed at Number 1128, and has achieved 370% revenue growth since 2015.

“I never knew about the Inc. 5000 until I started a business. As an entrepreneur, I understand that being on this list means that you are amongst other founders and companies that have run into the same brick walls of starting and growing a business over and over again,” said Connect Media CEO Daniel Ceniceros. “Our team has worked tirelessly to build Connect and the platform. Being listed on the Inc. 5000 is a reflection of so much more than our rank and revenue. It’s about the innovation, growth, and hard work of the team that has built this company. I have never been more proud.”

Ceniceros added, “Our competitors and the values of old media were engrained when we started Connect, and commercial real estate is a traditional industry. We shook up the way that people think about the news, connecting with others, and marketing, and were told no, much more often than yes. Our vision and perseverance for change is reflective in our ranking.”

The company earned its ranking on the strength of a remarkable growth trajectory since launching in 2015. Connect daily news content reaches 150,000 commercial real estate professionals each day across all property types and hosts 20-plus conferences nationwide with dynamic conversations among industry leaders. The company has recently expanded its creative services group with the formation of ConnectCREative.
