Inc. today announced that Foundry512 has been named to its 2026 Inc. Regionals: Southwest list, which recognizes the fastest-growing privately held companies across Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. An extension of the national Inc. 5000, the annual ranking highlights independent businesses contributing to economic growth across the region.
This year’s list arrives at a time when companies across industries continue to operate under economic pressure, including inflation, supply chain disruption, and continued market uncertainty. Against that backdrop, the Regionals program offers a data-driven view of businesses that have sustained measurable growth in a demanding environment.
Between 2022 and 2024, the 132 companies included on the 2026 Inc. Regionals: Southwest list achieved a median growth rate of 79 percent, collectively added 9,633 jobs, and contributed $5.2 billion to the regional economy.
“Earning a place on the Inc. Regionals list reflects the strength of the system we’ve built across strategy, media, and creative,” said Aaron Henry, Founder and President at Foundry512. “As marketing becomes more complex, the ability to connect investment decisions to measurable business outcomes is becoming a defining factor for growth.”
The recognition comes as agencies face increased scrutiny around performance, with clients placing greater emphasis on accountability, attribution, and long-term efficiency. In that environment, growth is increasingly tied to an agency’s ability to integrate strategy, creative, and media into a cohesive operating model.
Foundry512 has structured its approach around that integration, combining relationship-driven strategy with predictive modeling and media execution to support more disciplined marketing investment decisions. The company’s expansion into areas such as data science and advanced attribution reflects broader shifts in how ad agencies are being evaluated, particularly as brands seek clearer visibility into what is driving incremental growth.
“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn’t just persevere. They adapted and continued to scale. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and key contributors to their regional economies.”
Complete results of the Inc. Regionals: Southwest, including company profiles and an interactive database sortable by industry and metro area, will be available beginning March 31 at inc.com/regionals/southwest.
