ABCS Insights has been named No. 166 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of America's fastest-growing private companies, marking the company's second consecutive year on the list. With 2,117% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025, ABCS also ranked No. 12 in the Advertising, Marketing & PR category, reflecting strong momentum as marketers increasingly seek independent, connected advertising outcomes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ABCS Insights, the leading independent, third-party advertising effectiveness analytics company, announced today that it has been ranked No. 166 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

ABCS Insights earned its place with 2,117% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025, placing among the top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 for the second consecutive year. Today, the company's independent outcomes platform supports many of the world's leading brands, retailers, agencies, publishers, and commerce media companies. By analyzing trillions of transactions, media, and consumer behavior signals across the U.S. and Canada, ABCS helps marketers understand which elements of their advertising are true drivers of business outcomes.

ABCS offers a full suite of analytics products, spanning audiences, optimization, and outcomes measurement.

"This recognition reflects something much bigger than our growth," said Jerome Shimizu, CEO and co-founder of ABCS Insights. "Advertising has entered a new era where every marketing investment is expected to prove its business impact. As media has become more fragmented across retail media, streaming, social, commerce, and emerging channels, independent measurement has become more important. We built ABCS to provide that independent view, connecting the customer journey and revealing what actually drives outcomes. Our growth reflects both an incredible team and an industry that is demanding a new standard for advertising effectiveness—and we're proud to be helping define it."

ABCS' growth mirrors a fundamental shift in advertising. For years, marketers measured brand, media, and sales in separate silos. Today, they expect a connected view of how every investment contributes to business outcomes. ABCS believes this marks the Connected Outcomes Era—a shift toward understanding how advertising works across the entire customer journey, from brand through purchase, using measurement that is connected, consistent, and causal.

"You can't have Connected Outcomes without complete data," said Michael Sheng, CTO and co-founder of ABCS Insights. "You need to see the full picture to understand why advertising worked. From the beginning, we've focused on building one of the industry's most complete, independent views of consumer purchasing behavior across all channels and retailers. That foundation is what gives our clients confidence in the decisions they make every day. I'm incredibly proud of what our team has built—and we're only scratching the surface of what's possible."

The recognition follows another year of significant expansion for ABCS Insights, including expanded coverage into Canada, new enterprise customers, enhanced omnichannel measurement capabilities, and continued investment in the company's independent outcomes platform. ABCS Insights' 2,117% three-year growth rate is more than sixteen times the median for companies on this year's list.

This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance — it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement."

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
