"We knew that the growth have been experiencing was tremendous– 141.83% over the past three years," said AJ Gerritson, Founding Partner. "We certainly didn't know we'd be up so high on the list, especially when considering the other companies being recognized. We are all excited and honored."

"It really speaks to the efforts of all our employees and the hard work each and every one has contributed to help 451 Marketing flourish" added Founding Partner Nicholas Lowe.

In addition to being recognized at the ceremony, 451 Marketing also served as a partner providing social media support and creating buzz around the event.
