For most companies, making the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. is a one-off victory. For AdCellerant, it’s starting to feel like a habit. The Denver-based digital marketing and adtech firm just scored its eighth consecutive appearance on the list—something fewer than 2% of companies ever achieve.
That puts AdCellerant in rare company, and it’s not just about revenue. The streak underscores a long game built on innovation, partner loyalty, and tech that doesn’t gather dust.
“It’s validation of our people, our partners, and our purpose,” said Brock Berry, CEO and Co-Founder. “We’ve grown by putting our partners’ needs first and continually innovating our technology to help them succeed.”
Innovation That Actually Lands
While plenty of adtech vendors talk up “innovation,” AdCellerant’s recent moves show it’s more than lip service. The company’s proprietary platform, Ui.Marketing, has been getting steady upgrades—many shaped directly by partner feedback.
Recent rollouts include:
- CARL, an AI-powered virtual coach that lives inside Ui.Marketing and the partner training academy, offering real-time sales coaching and instant resource access.
- International expansion into Canada and the UK, taking its partner-first model global.
- Live Sports inventory, delivering curated, live-streaming ad space across major sports networks.
- AI-powered reporting summaries, shaving hours off client-ready insight prep.
This steady stream of upgrades comes on top of a trophy shelf that includes the Pinnacle Technology Award, Globee Technology Award, and a Stevie Award.
Why This Matters
In an adtech market flooded with platforms promising everything, consistent execution is the real differentiator. AdCellerant has kept pace by blending AI-driven efficiency with the human feedback loop—a strategy that keeps its tools both relevant and sticky. The global expansion adds another layer, giving the company new revenue channels while offering partners broader reach.
“We remain committed to what’s fueled our success: listening to our partners, solving real challenges, and delivering exceptional outcomes,” said Shelby Carlson, COO and Co-Founder.
Looking Ahead
AdCellerant isn’t slowing down. More AI tools, expanded partner features, and deeper global offerings are already in the pipeline. If the past eight years are any indication, this streak isn’t ending anytime soon—and in the cutthroat adtech space, that’s no small feat.
