2 Springfield companies make Inc. Regionals

Two Springfield companies have ranked among the fastest growing in the Midwest on the annual Inc. Regionals list.

Epic Strategies LLC and ACIS IT Solutions are the local companies on the list from Inc. magazine released this week. The Midwest region comprises Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The list ranks companies based on percentage growth that compares 2020 revenue to that of 2022, but sales were not disclosed. Companies on the Inc. Regionals list must have at least $100,000 in 2020 revenue and at least $1 million in 2022 revenue.

Epic Strategies, a full-service marketing agency, ranked No. 99 in the Midwest, with 118% revenue growth. The company last year was No. 8 on Springfield Business Journal's fast-growth Dynamic Dozen list, with revenue reported at $6.4 million in 2022 and over 200% three-year revenue growth.

"I know what our company has in the pipeline, and I see it on the horizon. The growth isn’t going to stop," said John Scroggins, chief of staff for the company, in its May 2023 Dynamic Dozen profile. "It just becomes more focused on where you direct your attention and the acquisition of clients."

Managed service provider ACIS IT Solutions had 79% growth to rank No. 132 in the Midwest.

"This recognition is a testament to our commitment to excellence, innovation and the strong relationships we've built with our clients and partners," ACIS President Travis Schnelle said in a public LinkedIn post about the Inc. Regionals list. "This achievement motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries of technology and service."

Epic Strategies ranked No. 103 on last year's Inc. Regionals list in the Midwest. ACIS has not previously been on the Regionals list, according to its Inc. profile.
