We’ve got some exciting news to share! MDR is thrilled to announce that we have been named to the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies! Not only that, but we were also the only company from our city to make the list and ranked in the top 500 in Texas! The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

For nearly 5 decades, MDR has been built on a foundation of hard work, creativity, and strong relationships—principles that continue to drive our growth today. Stephen Rybak, our Principal and Chief Creative Officer, has been leading the charge, combining innovative thinking with deep-rooted community connections to navigate both challenges and opportunities. Under his leadership, our agency has thrived, even during a particularly tough three-year period filled with pandemic disruptions, inflation, and supply chain obstacles.

Being named to the Inc. 5000 list is no small feat. for the 2020 -2023 period in particular, the recognition means that MDR drove impressive growth while weathering hiring challenges and rising costs of capital —a true testament to the resilience of our team and clients.

As we close out this year celebrating our 50th Anniversary in the advertising business, we’re more motivated than ever to continue to honor our legacy of delivering top-notch work for the clients we care so much about! Here’s to another 50 years of brand-based, strategy-first marketing solutions that close gaps and drive big results.
