For the third time in as many years, Inc. magazine has named MindFire Communications one of the fastest-growing privately-held companies in America.

The annual listing placed MindFire, with offices in LeClaire and Cedar Rapids, in the 3,960^th spot in the country, and 18^th spot in the state of Iowa.

The third straight appearance on the list reflects MindFire’s continued aggressive growth since its formation by three industry veterans – including Lynn Manternach and Erik Meade – in 2007. The company’s three-year revenue growth was reported at 74 percent, which compared to 103 percent growth in 2014.

MindFire currently employs 15 full-time Arsonists and recently completed a move into a brand new facility at 126 S. Cody Road in LeClaire that is nearly triple the size of its previous office space.

"To be included in this list for a third time in a row is truly a thrill,” said Manternach, president and co-founder of MindFire Communications. "We are so fortunate to have great clients who trust us with their brands.”

This year’s list of Inc. 5000 companies measured revenue growth from 2011 through 2014. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2011. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies.
