With a Two-Year Revenue Growth of 106 Percent, Channel Bakers Ranks No. 153 on Inc. Magazine’s List of California’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

 
03/24/2021

Inc. magazine revealed this week that Channel Bakers is No. 153 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: California list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born out of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list gives a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. 

 

“By the middle of last year it was reported that more than 145 million consumers were new to shopping online for the first time in response to social distancing measures,” said Josh Kreitzer, Founder and CEO of Channel Bakers. “The shift to shopping online has accelerated the need for brands to transform their go-to-market strategy and overall brand experience into measurable digital platforms.” 

Channel Bakers’ rise came in the form of increasing their personnel by nearly 180% over the past two years, which involved choosing 3 new executive leaders who were instrumental in restructuring the organization that set the stage for scaling more effectively throughout 2020. Another piece of the puzzle was the agency’s expansion globally, adding offices in the UK and Taiwan.

 

The companies on this Inc. 5000 list showed stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2017 and 2019, these companies, combined, employed more than 40,000 people and added nearly $7 billion to the California economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Los Angeles (including Orange County), the Bay Area, and San Diego—brought in the highest revenue overall.

“This list proves the power of companies in California no matter the industry,”
says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The impressive revenues and growth rates prove the insight and diligence of CEOs and that these businesses are here to stay.”
