Hedy & Hopp Makes the 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies 

Digital Production Team • August 11, 2026

We’re proud to share that Hedy & Hopp has earned the rank of No. 1841 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Our placement reflects the agency’s incredible 188% growth from 2022 to 2025.

For us, a ranking like this is a powerful byproduct of the work we do. When you spend every day helping healthcare organizations reach the people who need them, growth becomes the natural result of doing that work well. 

Growth That Traces Back to the Mission

Every milestone at Hedy & Hopp flows back to a single question: How do we help patients find and connect with the care they deserve? 

That question is the engine behind our growth. As more healthcare organizations look for partners who understand the complexity of their world (the regulations, the sensitivities, the need for humanity) more of them have found their way to us.

So while the Inc. 5000 measures growth in numbers, we read it a little differently. To us, it means more health systems reaching more patients, more family members finding the right provider for themselves or loved ones, and more clients navigating a changing landscape with a marketing partner who’s in their corner.

A New Platform Unlocked: Epic Certification

One of the clearest examples of how we grow with our clients is our Epic certification. Hedy & Hopp became the first marketing agency with an Epic-certified team, which helps our healthcare system clients leverage Epic’s built in tools to drive patient acquisition, improve the patient experience and improve measurement of existing marketing campaigns, including visibility on actual patient appointments and revenue driven by campaigns. 

Epic sits at the center of how millions of patients experience their care. Being certified means we can compliantly meet patients inside the systems they already use, connect marketing to real patient journeys, and help our clients act on that data. It’s the kind of edge that makes sense for an agency that lives and breathes healthcare.

Healthcare Is at the Heart of Everything We Do

And that “living and breathing healthcare” part isn’t just marketing speak. At Hedy & Hopp, our mission is simple: improve patients’ lives by connecting them to the care they need. We’re driven by this mission, and our employees choose to join H&H because of their shared passion for this mission.

That shared understanding means we approach every project knowing there’s a person on the other end of the campaign, often at a vulnerable moment. Our team works tirelessly to develop creative solutions for our clients and partners because we know what’s at stake when a patient can’t find care and how much it matters when they can.

Creative Vision From the Top

None of this momentum happens by accident. The vision of our CEO and founder, Jenny Bristow, continues to catapult us forward by pushing the team to see the shifting world of healthcare marketing not only as a challenge, but as an endless opportunity. Or as we say, pivot with positivity

“A ranking like this is fuel for our fire. It tells us that the way we work is exactly what this industry needs more of. And honestly, we’re just getting warmed up.”
— Jenny Bristow, CEO & Founder, Hedy & Hopp

We’re Just Getting Started

This is our third time on the list (previously in 2019 and 2025) and we’re proud of this recognition. We also know that it’s not a summit – we have exciting plans for the future and can’t wait to keep bringing results and joy to the partners and clients who make our work meaningful. We Are, Marketing Happy!
