Reputation Ink Named to Inc. 5000

Marketing & PR agency recognized among America’s fastest-growing private companies as demand for credibility and thought leadership accelerates

Reputation Ink, a marketing and public relations agency serving professional services firms, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The Inc. 5000 ranks companies based on revenue growth over a three-year period. Reputation Ink earned the No. 3,252 spot on the 2026 list, achieving 91% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025.

Founded in 2011, Reputation Ink helps law firms, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms, financial and asset management firms and other B2B services companies transform expertise into visibility, authority and business growth. The agency’s services include marketing strategy, public relations, content marketing, creative design and digital marketing.

The recognition comes amid growing demand for reputation-building and thought leadership services as organizations navigate an increasingly crowded and AI-driven information landscape. As generative AI makes it easier than ever to create content, professional services firms are investing more heavily in strategies that establish credibility through independent validation, media visibility and demonstrated expertise.

“Trust is becoming one of the most valuable assets an organization can possess,” said Michelle Calcote King, founder and president of Reputation Ink. “As AI-generated content floods the market and audiences become more skeptical of what they read online, firms can no longer rely solely on self-promotion. They need credible third-party validation, visible expertise and a reputation that is built over time. We believe our growth reflects the increasing demand for helping organizations earn trust through thought leadership, public relations and strategic communications.”

With a fully remote team of former journalists, public relations professionals, creative designers and marketing strategists located across North America, Reputation Ink delivers integrated visibility and reputation-building programs that support business development and long-term growth.

This recognition adds to Reputation Ink’s track record of growth and industry recognition, including multiple appearances on the Jacksonville Business Journal Fast 50 and the University of Florida’s Gator100 list of fastest-growing Gator-led businesses.
