SIX WODEN CLIENTS APPEAR ON 2021 INC. 5000

Six Woden clients secured spots on Inc.’s list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies of 2021. The list includes:

#1,287: Sovereign Lending Group (372 percent growth) helps consumers with direct mortgage loans and refinancing options. This is the California-based company’s eighth year on the list.

#1,464: Utility Concierge (324 percent growth) helps consumers save money on utilities by creating custom service bundling solutions.

#2,340: MarketScale (182 percent growth) helps B2B brands engage with their community through direct, brand-owned channels.

#2,859: Hunter Quinn Homes (138 percent growth) builds energy-efficient homes for South Carolina residents.

#3,870: Visual Edge IT (82 percent growth) guides B2B businesses through digital transformation of their industries with expert managed IT services.

#4,434: INRY (61 percent growth) provides IT support and consulting services that help organizations become more agile.

 Each Woden client defines its brand messaging through the StoryKernel, a product that distills extensive research, interviews, and analysis into a single potent, customer-centric narrative. Woden then creates the company’s StoryGuide, which provides a strategy for implementing the StoryKernel in areas ranging from sales and marketing, to customer experience and company culture. By positioning the customer as the hero in their brand story, companies connect emotionally with prospects, who see that hero as a reflection of themselves; customer-centric stories also align teams behind what matters most.

 “[Our story] kept everybody very focused,” said Sovereign Lending Group CEO Dan Holtz. “It made us really good at what we did, and that’s where a lot of our growth came from.”

Woden is thrilled to have partnered with these six companies and looks forward to their continued success.
