AUSTIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aptitude Media, a digital advertising network specializing in cost-per-action lead generation and customer acquisition, has made their first appearance on Inc. 5000’s prestigious list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. The company is now ranked at 1105. Locally, it cracked the top 20 in Austin, landing at number 18.
Founded in early 2014 by longtime friends Tom Ugarte and Chris von Wiesenberger, the years of hard work, long hours, and fantastic clients seem to have paid off: Aptitude Media reported 2017 revenue of $6.2 million with just 6 employees, a growth rate of 447%.
“The employees of Aptitude Media all played a vital role in making this possible,” said von Wiesenberger. “We’re a very small team, so I can say with certainty we would not be here without each and every one of them.”
Aptitude Media had its modest beginnings in von Wiesenberger’s mom’s basement in Summerland, CA. After a brief stint in Los Angeles, they settled in Austin and began their rapid ascent.
“We are so thrilled that our commitment to providing value for our clients has earned us such humbling recognition,“ Ugarte added.
