BrightSign Named to Inc. 500/5000

LOS GATOS, CA – (August 25, 2014) – BrightSign, LLC®, the global market leader in digital signage media players, today announced that it has been named to the 2014 Inc. 500/5000. BrightSign ranks number 1,185, placing the company in the top 25 percent of this year’s list.

“Inclusion in this year’s Inc. 500/5000 validates our company’s tremendous effort over the past several years to not simply assume a leadership role within the digital signage industry, but to cement our spot among the most successful private companies in the US,” said Jeff Hastings, CEO of BrightSign. “We are honored to be included in this year’s list, and we aspire to remain on the list for years to come.”

The Inc. 500/5000 ranks companies by overall revenue growth over a three-year period. BrightSign’s favorable ranking was supported by strong sales of its digital signage media players.

BrightSign’s media players are inexpensive, consume very little energy and have a small footprint that enables them to be placed virtually anywhere. Most recently, the company introduced a trio of 4K players that enable true 4K output for digital signage installations that take advantage of Ultra High Definition content.

Magazine has evaluated and honored emerging companies, many of which have gone on to reshape their respective industries. In 2007, Inc. expanded its list to include the top 5,000 private US-based companies.
