The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia.
From 2022 to 2025, 1905 New Media grew revenue 89.6 percent — from $3,909,895 to $7,411,633. This is 1905 New Media’s third consecutive year to achieve an Inc. 5000 ranking. The company first made the list in 2024. In addition to ranking 3286 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, 1905 New Media ranks 27 in St. Louis; 278 in advertising, marketing and PR; and 36 in Missouri.
“Our team keeps finding new ways to deliver for clients, and the growth follows. This third year on the Inc. 5000 list is proof of that,” said John Meilink, President of 1905 New Media. “I am deeply proud of the work and dedication behind these numbers, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
