CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Aug. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- What do Yelp, Pandora, and Timberland have in common? These three companies—and many more—first gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine's annual ranking of America's fastest growing private companies. 3 Birds Marketing (http://www.inc.com/profile/3-birds-marketing) is proud to be included in the 34^th annual Inc. 5000, announced at Inc.com.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."

3 Birds Marketing provides automobile manufacturers and dealerships with a powerful integrated marketing platform combined with in-house data analysis and client support.
