SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LeadMD, a leading performance marketing consultancy, is eagerly embracing the new year and looking back on some of its most notable achievements from 2020. The company spent much of the past year focusing on helping clients, partners, and marketers overcome the challenges presented by COVID-19 and capitalizing on opportunities for innovation. The organization did this while simultaneously posting another record growth year themselves. LeadMD enjoyed a 30 percent compound annual growth rate year-over-year and expanded its team by 20 percent, which is truly remarkable during a year plagued by a global pandemic as well as economic and social instability. The agency was also recognized as one of Chief Marketers top 200 marketing agencies of 2021, while adding new capabilities, partner accreditations and marquee clients. In most years, we focus on leading the industry and aiming for uncommon growth for ourselves and our clients, but 2020 took on a different mission, said Justin Gray, founder and chief executive officer of LeadMD. Given the magnitude of tragedy, loss and unpredictability in every area of life this past year, we prioritized what matters most helping other humans. Im especially proud of how our team banded together to extend a hand, lending our considerable resources to other businesses in need. We also didnt resort to furloughs or layoffs. In fact, we never have in our decade long history, and for a consultancy, thats truly rare. Instead, we encouraged our tribes natural service mentality, and through that value above all approach, we were able to help a lot of businesses and, in turn, a lot of people. When COVID-19 first began to spread, LeadMD acted fast to create and launch the Arizona Local Impact Fund alongside Invest Southwest and the StartupAZ Foundation. LeadMD donated $60,000 to help small businesses struggling in the immediate wake of the pandemic and have since supported four Arizona-based organizations through the fund. Then, in an effort to understand the B2B industrys most pressing needs, LeadMD conducted a Marketing in Crisis & Buyer Insights Survey. Not only did LeadMD follow this up with a report to shed light on the state of B2B marketing in the spring of 2020, but LeadMD put these insights to good use, offering free workshops and practical recommendations to other businesses finding their footing in the midst of the chaos. Also during the year, LeadMDs consulting department earned an American Business Stevie Award for Customer Success and the company as a whole landed on AZ Centrals list of the Top Companies to Work for in Arizona for 2020.
