AltaVista Strategic Partners Ranks #13 on Baltimore Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 List
Baltimore-based marketing agency earns another Fast 50 recognition for sustained business growth in the Greater Baltimore region.
BALTIMORE, MD – November 11, 2026 – AltaVista Strategic Partners has once again been recognized as one of Greater Baltimore’s fastest-growing private companies, earning the #13 spot on the Baltimore Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 list. This latest recognition reflects the agency’s continued growth and success in a competitive regional business community.
The annual Fast 50 Awards honor 50 privately owned companies throughout the Baltimore region that have demonstrated consistent revenue growth. To qualify for the 2026 rankings, businesses were required to generate at least $3 million in revenue in 2023 and report increased revenue each year through 2025.
Following its #7 ranking in 2025, AltaVista’s return to the Fast 50 list highlights the company’s continued growth and consistent performance.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help businesses grow while continuing to build something meaningful here in Baltimore.”
