Potenza Marketing makes fastest-growing companies list.

Inc. Magazine released its annual list of America's fastest growing privately owned companies, and this year Potenza Marketing made the cut, ranking No. 1,002 out of 5,000 honorees. The company is 12th on the list of Louisiana-based companies that made the Inc. 5000.

The 5000 list is an expansion of The Inc. 500, introduced in 1982 to spotlight the country's 500 fastest-growing, best run, most innovative, and most inspiring private companies. Companies are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over a four-year period.

Potenza made the list for having more than 650 percent growth from 2010 to 2014. It also grew from two employees to 22 during this time.

Potenza founder and CEO Frankie Russo says the award comes at an exciting time for the company, as it has recently entered the software market with its "Marketing Intelligence" Dashboard, software that is being licensed to TV stations in more than 75 markets.
