Cardinal Digital Marketing has been ranked number 55 on the 2025 Pacesetter list of metro Atlanta's fastest growing private companies by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. This marks the healthcare performance marketing agency's eighth consecutive year receiving this recognition, demonstrating consistent growth and market leadership in the competitive digital marketing landscape.
The Pacesetter Awards recognize the 75 fastest growing private companies in metro Atlanta based on a weighted growth index formula. Qualification requires companies to be established before Q1 2022, show significant employee growth, and demonstrate more than 50% sales growth over a two-year period with at least $1 million in revenue in 2024. This rigorous selection process ensures that only truly exceptional growth companies receive recognition.

As an agency focused on igniting client growth within the healthcare industry, we are working to continue to expand our commitment to performance marketing innovation including in digital and AI technologies." The company's sustained growth reflects the increasing importance of specialized digital marketing expertise in the healthcare sector.
