Walker Sands Named a Fastest Growing Company in Chicago for the Third Consecutive Year

The B2B Marketing Agency achieves triple-digit growth to make the Crain’s Chicago Business’ Fast 50 List.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walker Sands, a full-service marketing agency focused on accelerating the growth of B2B brands, has been recognized for the third year in a row by the Crain’s Chicago Business Fast 50 list, ranking as one of the fastest-growing companies in Chicago after achieving 271% growth over the last five years.

The Crain’s Fast 50 List highlights the companies that have shown sustained revenue growth over a five-year period. This prestigious award places Walker Sands alongside some of the area’s best and most innovative companies, including Coinflip, Avionos, Fast Radius, and more.

Over the last five years, Walker Sands has seen triple-digit growth and has more than doubled its headcount. In the past year alone, the firm increased its revenue by 41% and became the fifth-largest technology-focused firm in the United States, with offices in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and Atlanta after its acquisition of March Communications. The company has also partnered with some of Chicago’s top B2B tech brands, including Ensono and Jellyvision, to provide award-winning marketing work.

“We are honored to be recognized as a top growing company alongside some of the best brands Chicago has to offer,” said Walker Sands CEO Mike Santoro. “I continue to be impressed by the dedication and amazing effort our team puts in every day. None of this would be possible without the work they put towards our clients’ growth, which in turn helps accelerate our growth.”

Walker Sands was also recently named a 2021 Adweek Fastest Growing Agency, and was ranked on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for the ninth consecutive year. In addition, the agency’s client work is regularly recognized by awards, including SABRE, AVA Digital, MarCom, Hermes Creative, and PRSA, and it has been honored for its company culture by Built In, PRovoke, and the Chicago Tribune.
