Visually Named to the Inc. 500 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2015) - Inc. magazine today ranked Visually, a premium visual content creation platform, No. 174 on its 34th annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.

The Inc. 500/5000 represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

"To be included among this prestigious list of companies is an honor and a testament to the growth and momentum we have achieved over the last three years," said Matt Cooper, CEO of Visually. "And we expect this growth to continue as marketing budgets explode and businesses focus more on engaging audiences with unique, high-quality content with plans to spend one third of their marketing budgets on visual content creation in the next year."

Over the last three years, Visually has seen annualized year-over-year revenue growth of 192 percent from 2011 to 2014, with a total growth of 2,384 percent over that period. This growth is due to Visually's ability to expand its content offerings and platform to help brands more effectively create premium, cost-effective visual content that's timely and relevant. Over 40 percent of Fortune 100 companies trust Visually for their content marketing needs.

The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years.

"The story of this year's Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012.
