DAA has jumped to No. 2150 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks the agency’s second consecutive year on the list — and a remarkable climb from its 2024 ranking of No. 4,538.
The leap of more than 2,300 spots underscores DAA’s strategic growth, innovative approach, and resilient team culture in today’s dynamic marketplace.
“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible passion, resilience, and purpose that define our team. To rise more than 2,300 spots on the Inc. 5000 in just one year is a powerful validation of our people-first, results-driven approach. We’ve grown intentionally — investing in talent, culture, and innovation — and we’re just getting started.”
Nancy Steiner, CEO of DAA Media + Marketing
Celebrating Growth Amid Industry Challenges
The Inc. 5000 honors companies that have achieved rapid revenue growth while navigating challenges such as economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a shifting labor market. Among the top 500, the median three-year growth rate reached 1,552%, with honorees adding more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy in just three years.
DAA’s recognition follows a year of significant accolades:
- Named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces of 2025 — one of only four Louisiana companies to earn the distinction.
- Ranked #15 on Ad Age’s Best Places to Work 2025 list for agencies with fewer than 150 employees.
- Recognized as #29 on ADWEEK’s 2025 Fastest Growing Agencies list.
A Culture of Purpose and Performance
DAA’s sustained success is fueled by its commitment to building a people-centered, high-performance culture that blends strategic vision with community impact. Its employee experience focuses on:
- Long-term career development
- Shared success
- Meaningful contributions both inside and outside the company
This program reflects DAA’s belief that a thriving workplace extends its impact beyond office walls, empowering team members to make a difference in the communities they serve.
