Rising Through the Ranks

Fayetteville-based startup DataRank is in the process of securing a new Fayetteville location for its headquarters.

“[Our team has] grown a bit faster than expected and outgrown our current space,” said co-founder and CEO Ryan Frazier.

The data collection and prioritization company is not quite three years old and is currently downtown at 15 N. Church Ave., in a building that measures a little more than 1,000 SF including an outdoor deck, said Chuong Nguyen, co-founder and chief operations officer.

DataRank now has 13 employees, although some of them, including a sales representative in New York City, work remotely.

RevUnit also recently expanded its office. The digital marketing agency in early May acquired an additional 900-SF space to add to its 1,200-SF headquarters at 111 Main St. in Bentonville. 

The extra room should accommodate six to eight more employees, said Michael Paladino, co-founder and chief technical officer.

The startup just hired a new senior developer and now employs a staff of 15, including those at the main office, several in Las Vegas and two in Dallas.

And RevUnit has recently upped its game when it comes to the level of its clientele, recently meeting with brand giants like PetSmart and Virgin Hotels.

Paladino credits RevUnit’s partnership with Nitrous Effect, an agency collective headquartered in St. Louis, for helping the startup get in front of a wide variety of companies.

The collective pools talent from throughout the country, encompassing
RevUnit and five other agencies: Creative Producers Group, UPBrand, Vidzu Media, Evntiv and RedPeg, to cater to companies looking for a one-stop shop for branding services.
