Lake Forest, Calif. - August 12, 2025 - Forge, a creative studio in Orange County earned the 2296 spot on the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America. This is a significant placement as a list first-timer, along with the following notable rankings:

• #122 in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
• #210 in Advertising, Marketing & PR
• #319 In California

Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent– not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies– as of December 31, 2024.

“Forge’s inclusion in the Inc. 5000 is a true reflection of the vision, grit, and creativity that fuel our work every day,” said Matt Givot , CEO and Founder of Forge. “It’s exciting to be recognized on a national level and to be listed alongside so many impressive companies. None of this would be possible without the hard work of our team and the incredible support from our clients and partners.”

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 in the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,507 percent, and those companies provided more than 52,805 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.”
