MELVILLE, NY — EGC Group, a media and creative agency built for growth brands, was listed as one of the fastest-growing private firms in America on the 2024 Inc. 5000, the EGC Group announced.

For more than 40 years, the Inc. 5000 rankings provide a data-driven look at successful independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

We look forward to a future of growth for both the agency and our clients. Looking ahead, we have many exciting things being planned to help fuel our clients’ growth."

With offices on both Long Island and in Brooklyn, as well as a dedicated production facility in Melville, The Content Studio, EGC serves clients across the globe. EGC was founded in 1985 by Ernest G. Canadeo. The agency was recently named a "Best Place to Work" by Long Island Business News two years in a row and is among Ad Age’s Top Advertising Agencies.

"We were one of the first agencies to begin a dedicated digital practice back in 1997 and today, we are doing exceptional new things in AI and data and analytics," said Ernie Canadeo. "It is a very exciting time to be in the marketing business."

Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief, said one of the "greatest joys" of his job is going through the Inc. 5000 list.
