We are proud to announce that Avenge Digital ranked 8th in the Puget Sound Business Journal as one of the Eastsides' fastest-growing private companies. With neighbors like Amazon, Costco, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Nintendo, we are honored to be recognized in this fashion.  Information was obtained from firm representatives through questionnaires where only privately owned companies that are globally headquartered in the Eastside of western Washington, and recorded revenue of at least $500,000 in 2016 could qualify for the List. 

The Eastside includes the cities of Bellevue, Bothell, Issaquah, Kirkland, Newcastle, North Bend, Redmond, Renton, Sammamish and Woodinville. In most cases, CEOs and CFOs personally vouched in writing for 2016, 2017 and 2018 company revenue. In some cases, accountants or auditors were contacted to further verify revenue. The List was researched and compiled by Data Reporter, Deena Zaidi.
