August 12, 2026 | ST. LOUIS — Experience Fresh (EXF), a full-service, vertically integrated marketing agency, has been named No. 2,340 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The recognition reflects 144% three-year revenue growth and marks the third year in a row EXF has earned a spot on the list, following appearances in 2024 and 2025.
“Since I was a kid, I was fascinated by the growth of startups and bootstrapped companies,” said Brett Arndt, founder and CEO of Experience Fresh. “I couldn’t think of something more rewarding than chasing a dream and building a vision with amazing people. Cheers to the entire Experience Fresh team and companies. Floored. Humbled. Stoked.
“If you’re early on, keep going. That first customer is around the corner. If you’re seasoned and achieving your goals, keep enjoying the ride and don’t forget the early days.”
Three years on the Inc. 5000 is a milestone EXF doesn’t take lightly. It’s proof of a team that shows up for clients and for each other, year after year. The agency is already looking ahead, building the next chapter alongside the senior living, aging technology, and hospitality brands it partners with every day.
