Fluency, the Agentic Advertising Operating System (AAOS) built to scale paid media execution across search, social, and programmatic channels, has earned the number one spot on the 2026 VermontBiz and TD Bank Vermont Business Growth Awards list. This marks Fluency’s third consecutive win for this award.

Over the past 24 years, VermontBiz has recognized some of the fastest-growing Vermont-based businesses based on their five-year growth rate. Fluency celebrates the top spot this year with a 1,072.7% growth rate.

“Three years at the top of this list reflects our team’s everyday work caliber and the trust our agency and advertiser partners place in us,” said Mike Lane, CEO. “We’re continuously grateful and proud to build Fluency in Vermont, even as we remain a remote-first company.”

Fluency continues to earn recognition for its growth, product innovation, and workplace culture. This year, the company was named to the Inc. 5000 list for the fourth consecutive year and won the Marketing Automation Innovation Award in the 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards. Fluency also remains a category leader in G2’s Summer 2026 reports for PPC enterprise and mid-market. 

 As the company deepens its Vermont roots while expanding its remote workforce, Fluency remains committed to fostering an inclusive culture that fuels the continued growth of the state’s technology and business community. This commitment helped Fluency get named one of Vermont’s Best Places to Work for the fifth consecutive year and place on Ad Age’s 2026 Best Places to Work for the second year in a row.
