To All 2012 Inc. 500|500 Honorees
Congratulations to you and your company for making the 2012 Inc. 5000.
For more than 30 years, Inc. has celebrated the fastest-growing private companies in America. To be honored this year is a particularly notable achievement. To rank among the 2012 Inc. 5000, your company had to thrive through three of the toughest years this economy has seen in living memory. Your success in such times is eloquent testimony to your team’s creativity, resilience, and tenacity.
As an Inc. 5000 honoree, you now share a pedigree with Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Jamba Juice, Timberland, Clif Bar, Pandora, Patagonia, Oracle, and other notable alumni. The class of 2012 added such powerhouses as Chobani, CDW, Levi Strauss and a little social media company called Facebook.
Welcome to a very exclusive club.
As an Inc. 5000 honoree, you are entitled to a free press release from our partner NASDAQ GlobeNewswire to share this news with your colleagues, customers, and business partners. We'd also like to point you to YGS, which offers a variety of framed awards and other merchandise that might help you commemorate your extraordinary accomplishment.
Congratulations again, and here’s wishing you many more years of success.
