NEW YORK (August 15, 2023) \u2013 Inc. Magazine has revealed that Insticator, a global leader in engagement solutions for online publishers, has ranked #4554 on the prestigious \u201cInc. 5000\u201d list, following a year of explosive growth, strategic acquisitions, and the refinement of already-innovative products.\u00a0 The list, devoted to the fastest-growing private companies in America, is an ode to the American business sector and a feather in the cap for any company that appears on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I think back over the last decade, we have accomplished a lot at Insticator and most of it\u2019s due to our team being nimble, hungry and creative. I\u2019m looking forward to us making this list for years to come as we are hungrier than ever,\u201d says Insticator founder and CEO Zack Dugow. He further adds, \u201cThe credit for this really goes out to our team all over the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n
With millions of private companies in the US, only a small number ever make it this far, to what Inc. calls \u201cthe most-exclusive club in American entrepreneurship.\u201d In a difficult year for the adtech industry, Insticator has survived \u2014 and thrived \u2014 weathering market forces, a changing landscape, and a crowded field of competitors.<\/p>\n
One big move in recent months was the acquisition of Balihoo, the leader in multi-location marketing, with powerful media automation technology supporting franchise and multi-location location advertisers, whose clients include Kohler, Pearle Vision and Trek Bicycle Corporation. \u00a0 The acquisition expands Insticator\u2019s capabilities for Advertiser clients, while creating new opportunities to directly connect Advertisers with Insticator\u2019s premium publisher partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased about the multitude of opportunities this acquisition presents,\u201d Kevin Lange, SVP, General Manager of Balihoo, said recently. \u201cThrough our collaboration and alliance with Insticator, we will unlock new avenues for growth and innovation.
