A 27-year-old creative agency from New Jersey earns national recognition after posting a 56% revenue increase over three years
RED BANK, NJ, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Splendor, a creative and marketing firm based in Red Bank, has earned a spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.
What started as a modest graphic design studio has transformed into a comprehensive strategic creative agency, serving clients in New Jersey, across the country, and internationally.
That transformation has picked up speed in recent years. Splendor made growth a deliberate organization-wide objective, pouring resources into talent, broadening its strategic and creative offerings, enhancing its own brand and digital footprint, and adopting a more proactive stance on business development, marketing, and public relations.
“Growth at Splendor has been very intentional,” said Adam Taylor, Founder and CEO. “We set an ambitious goal, shared it with our team, and invested heavily in the people, capabilities and visibility we believed would get us there. To see that work recognized nationally by Inc. is incredibly meaningful. And it belongs to the talented people on our team, our partners, and the clients who have trusted us and helped us grow along the way.”
Splendor’s expansion has also occurred during a time of considerable upheaval in the marketing sector. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, shifts in how people search and discover content online, and evolving B2B purchasing habits have changed the way businesses create awareness, build trust, and compete for attention.
Splendor has made a concerted effort to stay ahead of those shifts, constantly updating its skills, thinking, and methodology as the industry evolves around it. Today, the firm describes its approach as “human-led, AI-guided,” blending research, strategy, and creative work with emerging technologies and fresh approaches to search, content, and digital marketing.
That evolution has also shaped Splendor’s own messaging around a straightforward concept: Own the conversation before the conversion.
“Buyers are researching, comparing and forming opinions about companies long before they ever make contact,” said Mark Cerame, Head of Strategy at Splendor. “Our work has increasingly focused on helping clients influence that critical period. ‘Own the conversation before the conversion’ puts a name to something we’ve been building toward for years, and it reflects where we believe the greatest opportunity exists for our clients.”
Today, Splendor partners with organizations in professional services, commercial real estate, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, financial services, and other B2B sectors, delivering brand strategy and positioning, creative design, website development, search and digital marketing, content creation, advertising, and related services.
Twenty-seven years after its founding, Splendor continues to evolve, invest, and grow at a faster pace than ever before.
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees achieved notable growth while managing economic uncertainty, rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and ongoing change across the business environment.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm – they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
Inc. will honor the 2026 awardees at the Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, scheduled for October 14-16 in Dallas.
