‘Incredible Honor’

Proforma, PPAI 100’s No. 3 distributor, is celebrating 43 of its distributor owners being named to this year’s list.

“This year’s record number of honorees is a direct reflection of our distributor owners’ tireless dedication and entrepreneurial spirit,” says Brian Roney, senior director of product design at Proforma. “We’re incredibly proud of their achievements, and this recognition reinforces the impact of our mission to empower distributor owners with the tools, technology and support they need to succeed.”

Kentucky-based The Branded Things, the promotional products division of Williams Advertising, cracked the list for the first time.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor,” says Sarah Whitaker, CEO of The Branded Things and Williams Advertising. “It’s also a celebration of the people who made it happen. Our team’s drive, creativity and commitment to going the extra mile brought us here. We are equally grateful to our clients for trusting us with their brands.”

Ryan Paules, CEO and “chief swag officer” of Los Angeles-based distributor Radar Promotions, says returning to the list is a testament to his team’s focus, dedication and commitment to customers. “While I have personally been trying to earn a place (any place) on this list for 20 years, this award is truly a shared accomplishment for our entire team,” Paules says.

This marks the third consecutive year that business services provider Binated has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list. “This continued achievement is a direct reflection of the strength of our client partnerships and the relentless commitment of our global team,” says Anish Varghese, founder and CEO of Binated.

Making The List

Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over three years, from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must be privately held, for-profit, based in the U.S. and independent (not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies) as of December 31, 2024.

  • Since then, some companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.
  • Companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021.
  • The minimum revenue requirement is $100,000 for 2021 and $2 million for 2024.


“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm – they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
