TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine recognized CTI on its 36th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This is CTI’s sixth time on the Inc. 5000. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small and midsized businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
“This award recognizes the dedication and hard work of the CTI team in transforming leaders, teams and organizations,” said CTI CEO Mo Kasti. “We are grateful for the trust our client-partners have put in us to help them every day in saving lives.”
The 2018 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 16) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. Collectively, the companies on this year’s list amassed $206.2 billion in revenue in 2017, up 158 percent from $79.8 billion in 2014.
According to James Ledbetter, Editor in Chief of Inc. Media, “companies that made the list, on average, have grown sixfold since 2014 over a stretch when the economy grew around 11 percent, that’s a result most businesses can only dream of.”
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 17 - 19, 2018 in San Antonio, TX.

Columnist Norm Brodsky.
Methodology The 2018 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2014 to 2017. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2014. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2017.
