APCO Named to Inc.’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies List

Washington, D.C. (August 17, 2009) – APCO Worldwide announced today that it was named to the 2009 Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This achievement places APCO within an elite group of businesses; Microsoft, Timberland and Oracle are among those who made the list in previous years.

Inc., a monthly publication targeted toward entrepreneurs and small businesses, annually publishes a list of the top 5,000 fastest-growing privately owned companies in the United States.

“We are very happy with this recognition,” said Margery Kraus, president and chief executive officer of APCO Worldwide. “Our growth is a result of the entrepreneurial spirit and hard work and commitment of our talented staff.”

Kraus founded APCO in 1984, and the company has since grown from one Washington office to an independent, majority women-owned consulting firm with 550 employees in 28 offices throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The firm provides high-end strategic counsel in corporate communication and public affairs and offers an integrated approach to addressing clients’ challenges and opportunities.

The 28th Annual Inc. 500|5000 Conference and Awards Ceremony will be held September 23-25, 2009, in Washington, D.C. For more information, please visit www.inc.com/inc5000/.
