thunder::tech earns a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000

We’ve been making brands boom for more than 25 years, and we’re proud to see the work recognized. thunder::tech is back on the 2025 Inc. 5000, our fifth time on the list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. 

This resilience is rare for any brand and even more so for a professional services agency. We achieved this growth through the pandemic and in the years that followed as the economy reset with new ways of working and ripple effects like supply chain issues and labor shifts. Through it all, our team stayed focused on client outcomes and steady delivery. 

But ultimately, our growth is just a side effect of the success we bring to our clients. Serving midsize brands across the United States, especially from our hubs in Chicago, Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland, we focus on the kind of bold moves and thoughtful delivery that make a real difference in the marketplace. Our team knows how to craft campaigns that turn heads and clicks into customers. This dedication to tangible results and long-term partnerships is why clients see us as a true ally when they need to grow and evolve their brands.   

What is the Inc. 5000? 

The Inc. 5000 is Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. It spotlights entrepreneurial momentum and the teams turning smart strategy into measurable results. Companies are ranked by percentage revenue growth over three years, not total size. Earning a spot signals durable growth, strong execution and customer value against a common bar everyone can see and compare. It is one of the most recognized markers of momentum for private companies.
