Inc. Names Otter PR to Its 2026 List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Southeast

St.Petersburg, Fla. - Apr 13, 2026 - Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, revealed that Otter PR has been ranked No.169 on its sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Southeast list [https://www.inc.com/regionals] - the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Southeast. The region includes South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses driving growth across the Southeast economy. Companies on this year's list demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during a challenging economic period.

Bartnick says, "Ranking on the Inc. Regionals list is another incredible achievement to kick off 2026. It validates our mission and proves we are successfully scaling and delivering meaningful results."

Between 2022 and 2024, these 182 private companies had a median growth rate of 89 percent; by 2024, they'd also added 12,079 jobs and $3.4 billion to the region's economy.

Complete results of the Inc. Regionals: Southeast, including company profiles and an interactive database sortable by industry and metro area, are available at: https://www.inc.com/regionals/southeast.

"The honorees on this year's Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn't just persevere - they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions," said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

As Otter PR continues to grow, the agency remains focused on helping brands drive business growth, strengthen their reputation, and elevate their visibility through strategic media placements and communications initiatives.
