Archie Group Named to Inc. Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Companies List

DARIEN, CONN. (April 3, 2023)—Archie Group, the reputation capital solutions company, was named to the 2023 Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Northeast private companies, based in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. 

Archie Group grew more than 90 percent over the two-year period from 2019 to 2021, driven by its hallmark Reputation-led Growth™ (RLG) solutions. RLG is a business growth model that leverages modern public relations and reputation capital techniques to help companies earn reputation and faster grow their intangible value such as brand recognition, goodwill with stakeholders, intellectual property position and belief in trajectory.

“For Archie to be recognized by Inc., perhaps we’re doing RLG well. We have grown and attracted "members" to our own way of doing things, and we’re proving demand for reputation-leverage in the marketplace. In just a two year period, from 2019 to 2021, Archie grew more than 90 percent and we formalized our Reputation-led Growth solution, our unique method for helping companies execute their reputation go-to-market and grow intangible value. Now it's time to launch our next big problem to be solved: ‘tech-enabled RLG.’” 

Papajohn added: “This award represents the success and culmination of our initial five-year plan to incubate and confirm market fit for RLG. Our next phase of growth will prioritize the tech enablement of, digitization and decentralized access to RLG solutions directly by companies, professional service providers, and a community of members.”

Archie Group embeds as a reputation development partner into the senior leadership team of high-growth businesses in financial, technology and social impact sectors. Recent reputation development programs include the introduction of an electronic trading platform for syndicated loans; the largest capital raise in the history of a growth equity investment firm; and the positioning of a global organization driving disability inclusion and equality as one of Fast Company’s Brands that Matters.

“This year’s Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America’s off-the-charts growth companies. They’re disruptors and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” said Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine.

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Northeast region. Between 2019 and 2021, these private companies added 12,066 jobs and nearly $4.4 billion to the Northeast region’s economy.
