Epicosity Named to Inc. 5000 List Two Years Running


SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Outdoor marketing agency EpicositySM has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the United States for a second consecutive year. The agency, founded in 2008, has seen a growth rate of 167% in the past three years, landing it on the magazine's annual list for a second time.

Among Epicosity's outdoor clients are Armscor-Rock Island Armory (RIA), Laser Ammo, Mec-Gar®, Taylor's & Company and XS® Sight Systems. The agency recently moved into a new, 10,000-square-foot facility in downtown Sioux Falls.

Epicosity ranked No. 2,203 on the list, among the top five South Dakota-based companies and more than 200 spots higher than in 2015. To be considered for the list, companies must be United States-based, privately and independently held and for-profit. In addition, eligible companies must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2012, as well as at least $2 million in 2015.

Armscor-RIA has been a client of Epicosity's since 2011. "Working with a full-service agency like Epicosity has helped fulfill the day-to-day needs we have as an international retailer," Armscor-RIA CEO Martin Tuason said. "Their experience in the outdoor sector lends itself to the quality of work we're able to produce through our collaboration." The working relationship in the past year has additionally produced recognition by way of a Telly Award, a Davey Award and two MarCom Awards.

Epicosity CEO Eric Sivertsen saw the inclusion as another growth moment for the company this year, having moved into its new expanded space in downtown Sioux Falls in February. "We're excited to be recognized for something that signifies such positive change in our company's present and future," he said. "We look forward to keeping this forward drive strong in the years to come."
