NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 15, 2023 – fuoco, a boutique marketing agency that specializes in helping healthcare B2B brands tell their stories, today announced its appearance on the 2023 Inc. 5000 annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, coming in at No. 2,975 nationally, No. 263 within the Marketing and Advertising sector, No. 71 in Tennessee, and No. 43 in the Metro Nashville area. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. fuoco's exceptional growth and success can be attributed to its unique blend of strategy, industry expertise, and an integrated marketing mindset and approach.
fuoco Founder and Chief Firestarter Kriste Goad said: “We are thrilled to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list. We’re on a mission to do good work that’s meaningful, and this recognition is a testament to that mission, to our team, and to the trust and support of our amazing clients.”
Today’s ranking comes on the heels of fuoco receiving honorable mention for Boutique Agency of the Year during the 2022 U.S. PRWeek Awards.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.

About Inc. and the Inc. 5000 Methodology
Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
