Hero Marketing Agency, a Texas-based digital marketing firm focused on home service businesses, landed at No. 2,085 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list. The ranking measures three-year revenue growth among America's fastest-growing private companies. Hero posted 174% growth from 2022 to 2025, the company said.
Founder and CEO Josh Cates said the agency's growth came from helping home service operators make smarter marketing decisions. "We didn't build Hero to make the Inc. 5000," Cates said in a press release. "Our growth is the result of helping ambitious home service owners stop guessing and start making smarter decisions with their marketing dollars." He added that the agency's success is tied directly to client growth.
The Inc. 5000 list recognizes private, for-profit, U.S.-based companies that were generating revenue by March 31, 2022. Minimum revenue for 2022 was $100,000; for 2025 it was $2 million. The median three-year revenue growth rate across all honorees was 130%, and the companies collectively added more than 627,000 jobs over three years.
