The ONLY Indiana company to land on the Inc 5000 & Best Place to Work list 6 times in a row!

Inc. magazine revealed that Hanapin Marketing has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for the 6th time in a row (Less than 3% of all companies honored can say that!). Hanapin has also been recognized as a Best Place to Work in Indiana for the last 7 years – we are the ONLY company in Indiana that can claim to be on both lists!

Hanapin specializes in just one thing, paid advertising. We don’t do design, SEO, website development or any other services that many full-service agencies do. Placing paid ads in platforms like Google, Facebook, Pinterest, and Linkedin is our expertise. Even with being so specialized in our services, Hanapin has grown 483% over the last 6 years and we’ve more than doubled the number of full-time employees on our team. All while winning multiple best place to work awards and having an 89% employee retention rate.

“One of the reasons I came to Hanapin eight years ago was our CEO’s, Pat East, ambition to get on the Inc 5000 list three consecutive times. Winning it six times is extraordinary. And with a company that is in a specialized and very competitive industry. There’s only a handful of brands in the country that can use our services, against a larger number of agencies vying for their business. Even with that, we’ve still managed to have massive growth. We’re nowhere near stopping either.  I’m grateful I get to work with this uber-talented team and for their dedication to moving the company, and industry, forward,” says Hanapin President, Jeff Allen.

Continuous growth, while simultaneously creating a desirable and effective work culture, is not an easy feat for any company. It requires a significant focus on company culture from the top down. At Hanapin, the core of our culture is based on transparency, listening to employees, effectively solving problems, and being enthusiastic for our clients.  We build up our employees to be successful professionals, encourage lifelong learning, and to give back to their community. A lot of time is spent recruiting and hiring the right people on the front end that exhibit our core values, and investing in them in the long run.

The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018.
