CHICAGO, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Avionos, which designs and implements digital commerce and marketing solutions, has been named to Inc. Magazine's list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America. In its first year of eligibility, Avionos landed in the top 15% of the list at number 739.

Since its first introduction in 1982, the annual Inc. 5000 list ranks the nation's top 5000 fastest-growing private companies according to their three year percentage revenue growth. To qualify for this honor, companies must be U.S. based, privately held, for-profit and independent, and have started earning revenue by March 31, 2015. The companies included in the 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454%, and a median rate of 157%. In addition, the Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

Founded in 2014, Avionos delivers expert strategy, experience management, integrated marketing, and commerce, sales and service enablement for clients like Kellogg's, Sysco, JLL and CSA Group. The company has also been named on the Crain's Best Places to Work in Chicago List for two years in a row, included on Comparably's 2018 Best Company Culture List, and certified as a Great Place to Work.

The future looks great for Avionos, and I'm excited to see how we'll continue to grow in the years to come."
