SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine, the hub for entrepreneurs and executives building what’s next, has ranked Stirista, a leader in data-driven marketing solutions, No. 2971 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. This is Stirista’s eighth straight year on the list, underscoring growth in San Antonio, Texas, and across the Advertising and Marketing category.
The Inc. 5000 highlights what independent, entrepreneurial businesses can achieve. Stirista continues to post strong year-over-year growth, driven by solution innovation, AI, and a focused acquisition strategy. Over the past year, that included Magnetik, known for digital-first strategic marketing acumen, and Andrews Wharton, recognized for personalized, data-driven strategies. Together, these additions strengthen Stirista’s ability to deliver solutions that work in a complex, evolving market.
"As the industry keeps shifting and evolving, our focus is on adapting and building solutions that stand the test of time,"said Ajay Gupta, CEO of Stirista. "This recognition reflects the trust in our vision and the drive of our team to keep pushing forward.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“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,” says 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.”
