In a digital marketing landscape where agencies come and go, Nashville’s JLB has proven it has staying power. The firm announced it has landed on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the sixth time, cementing its reputation as one of the Southeast’s most consistent performers in web design and digital marketing.

The Inc. 5000, often seen as a scorecard for entrepreneurial grit, recognizes private companies that have achieved significant revenue growth over the past three years. For JLB, the milestone highlights not just expansion, but the durability of its business model: offering clients an end-to-end, in-house digital solution—from award-winning web design and SEO to hosting, web security, and ongoing support.

A One-Stop Digital Shop

“Our mission from day one has been to eliminate the fragmentation in online marketing services,” said Ken Royer, CEO of JLB. “To be named to the Inc. 5000 for the sixth time is an incredible honor and a testament to the trust our clients place in us, the hard work of our team, and the results we deliver year after year.”

It’s a pitch that resonates in a market flooded with specialized agencies. By consolidating web design, SEO, hosting, and security under one roof, JLB positions itself as a single accountable partner—something many businesses find increasingly attractive as digital ecosystems grow more complex.

Deep Roots in Nashville, Broad Reach Nationwide

JLB (short for Joy, Life, Business) has been around for more than 20 years and now manages over 1,100 clients across industries. Its client list includes names familiar to locals and beyond: Nashville International Airport, Fisk University, Boys & Girls Club, Peg Leg Porker, Nissan Stadium, and Star Physical Therapy.

The firm has also been voted the #1 Best Web Design Company in Williamson County four times and holds Google Partner status, adding credibility to its growth story. Veteran-owned and built on what it calls accountability and transparency, JLB has become a go-to shop for Nashville businesses aiming to sharpen their digital edge.

Context: Consistency in a Crowded Market

The digital agency market is notoriously crowded, with new players spinning up overnight and consolidation reshaping the field. JLB’s repeated Inc. 5000 recognition suggests it has cracked a formula for sustainable growth—balancing local trust with national scalability.

In an era where many businesses feel like they’re juggling a dozen different vendors for SEO, ads, design, and hosting, JLB’s pitch of a fully managed, single-provider model seems less old-school and more like the simplification companies have been waiting for.
