Smarty Social Makes the Inc. 5000 for the Third Time, Ranking Among America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Today we are thrilled to announce that we have been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list –  the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks our third appearance on the prestigious list!

The Inc. 5000 recognizes the nation's most successful independent businesses based on revenue growth over a three-year period. Companies included on the list have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating an increasingly competitive and evolving business landscape.

Since our founding more than 13 years ago, we have helped healthcare's most innovative brands — across medical device, MedTech, pharma, and aesthetics — navigate regulated environments and build meaningful connections with patients, clinicians, and healthcare professionals through strategic social media.

“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the third time is an incredible honor and reflects the trust our clients place in us, the dedication of our team, and our continued commitment to helping healthcare organizations tell social stories that matter," says Jami Eidsvold, Founder and CEO of Smarty Social. "As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, brands need strategic partners who understand how to build credibility, foster meaningful engagement, and create lasting connections across digital channels. We're proud to help lead that transformation."

The recognition follows another year of continued expansion for our agency, including the introduction of StoryEngine™, our proprietary storytelling system. Built for the healthcare industry, it captures, organizes, and activates authentic patient and doctor stories across every stage of the journey — ready to be discovered, adapted, and amplified across brand channels.

“We've always believed that what breaks through in healthcare is human truth,” says Eidsvold. “StoryEngine came out of watching incredible patient and clinician stories get left on the cutting room floor after one campaign. That felt like a real loss, for the brand and for the people whose stories deserved to keep living. We built StoryEngine to change that and drive the next phase of our agency growth and investment in client partnerships."

The Inc. 5000 award adds to a strong run of acknowledgments for our agency in 2026, including being named to MM+M's Agency 100 "Ones to Watch" list, earning a Platinum TITAN Health Award for the Invisalign "Game Changers" campaign in the Consumer Social Media Campaign category, and being recognized as one of Orange County's Best Places to Work by the Orange County Business Journal.
