Independent marketing agency Dotted Line has made its debut on the Inc. 5000 2022, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America, at No. 2,039. With a growth rate of 294%, Dotted Line is ranked in the top half of the overall list and is the top-growing advertising and marketing company in Richmond.

Business growth from new and existing clients and a threefold increase in employee headcount were the largest contributing factors to Dotted Line’s growth. 

“This recognition is a testament to our team’s resilience and persistence. As a small, mighty team, we pushed what we believed we could do to new heights, while keeping a client-first mentality and staying true to values and culture,” said Lauren Sweeney, founder and CEO, Dotted Line. “To me, this moment is just the beginning of what Dotted Line can achieve. We continue to expand our capabilities, invest in building leaders in every single one of our employees, and grow our clients’ business. And we are enjoying the journey of getting there.” 

Inc. 5000 is not the first 2022 win for the rapidly growing agency. Dotted Line was named a Virginia Business Best Place to Work and Sweeney was recently recognized by Virginia Business’ Women in Leadership Awards. 

Dotted Line is one of the fastest growing, independent agencies in America with a diverse roster of clients, including Worksite Labs, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Southern Land Company, and Shades of Light.
