Are marketing and advertising companies the new job creators in our local area?

DENVER, Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine revealed its annual 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
