ABCS hit the Inc. 5000 with 2,117% growth as brands demand independent ad measurement. The CEO says advertising has entered a new era where every dollar must prove its business impact.
ABCS Insights, a privately held advertising analytics company, placed No. 166 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. The company posted 2,117% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025, its second consecutive year on the ranking. It also ranked No. 12 in the Advertising, Marketing & PR category.
The company's platform analyzes trillions of transactions, media signals, and consumer behavior data across the U.S. and Canada. It helps brands and agencies attribute sales to specific advertising exposures. Clients include major retailers, publishers, and commerce media companies.
"Advertising has entered a new era where every marketing investment is expected to prove its business impact," CEO Jerome Shimizu said. He cited fragmented media across retail, streaming, social, and commerce channels as the reason brands need independent measurement.
CTO Michael Sheng said the company built "one of the industry's most complete, independent views of consumer purchasing behavior across all channels and retailers." He added that the data foundation gives clients confidence in their decisions.
ABCS calls the current shift the "Connected Outcomes Era" – a move away from siloed brand, media, and sales measurement toward a unified view of how advertising drives business results. The company argues that independent, consistent measurement is necessary as media fragmentation accelerates.
The 2,117% three-year growth rate is more than 16 times the median for all Inc. 5000 companies this year, which is 130%. ABCS is backed by Volition Capital.
The Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala is scheduled for Oct. 14–16 in Dallas, where the top 500 will be featured in the fall issue of Inc. Magazine.
