Rise and Shine and Partners has been named to three of the most prestigious lists recognizing the nation’s fastest-growing companies: the Inc. 5000, Adweek’s Fastest Growing Agencies, and the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal Fast 50.
The agency’s sustained growth reflects a deliberate strategy of deepening partnerships with existing clients while adding new clients seeking bold, effective creative solutions. This is the second year in a row Rise and Shine has been included on all three fastest growing lists.
“This recognition across three separate lists is a powerful signal that our growth is intentional and grounded in what matters most — driving results for our clients,” said Kevin DiLorenzo, President and CEO of Rise and Shine and Partners. “We’ve grown not just by adding new business, but by helping our existing clients grow and succeed. We call it ‘Up and tothe Right™’, which is the ultimate measure of the work we do on their behalf.”
Each of these lists celebrates companies with impressive revenue growth, but the team atRise and Shine sees the recognition as the culmination of an exciting period at the agency.
Since the beginning of 2024, Rise and Shine has doubled in size, expanded agency capabilities, rolled out proprietary A.I.-infused production tools, recruited nationally renowned leadership, and added beloved brands to its client roster. The agency celebrated several growth milestones over the past 12 months, including generating a 157% increase in total revenue.
This past July, Rise and Shine received the Ad Age Small Agency of the Year GOLD Midwest Award. The agency’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000, Adweek’s Fastest Growing Agencies, and the MSPBJ Fast 50 underscores its position as one of the most dynamic independent agencies in the country.
