NIMBLY PIVOTING TO ADDRESS COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges helped Cranston-based Integrated Media Group experience 107.5% revenue growth last year compared with 2019.
“Going from full in-office employment to fully remote with no systems for remote work was quite an undertaking … we adjusted quickly to establish new procedures,” IMG co-founder Gil Lantini said.
IMG, a digital marketing agency, also doubled down on some business lines. Lantini says the agency’s SalesForce consulting practice exploded, with businesses recognizing that they had to adapt their technology.
While IMG’s digital marketing business initially took a significant hit due to the pandemic, it is currently 200% higher than where it was pre-pandemic and 300% higher than where it was at its lowest point, Lantini said.
With a consistently expanding staff – and no key personnel leaving – Lantini predicts IMG will close out 2022 with 70% greater revenue than last year.
“[Employee] retention has been the best it’s ever been for us when most businesses were facing the opposite,” Lantini said.
