"Four years ago, we started The JAR Group to focus on creating value for clients by delivering online marketing services," says A.J. Lawrence, founder and CEO of The JAR Group. "Since then, we've been incredibly lucky to work with truly amazing clients and great partners in our industry." He adds, "I'm very proud of all the great people we have on our team who have made serving our clients so rewarding. We've always striven to use our success to give back to the community, and each client success has allowed us to also provide a wide array of pro-bono efforts for both local and international not-for-profits. Our key to this success is simple and timeless: if we do good work for our clients and focus on driving value for them, the rest will take care of itself."

Since beginning in 2006, The JAR Group, an interactive marketing agency, has grown from one client and a tiny closet, into a firm with 18 employees, 20 multi-national clients, and 2 offices. The JAR Group's client portfolio includes companies TuneCore, USGA, DollarDays, NYU faces, and  Waterford, Wedgwood, and Royal Doulton.

Inc. asked CEOs on the Inc. 500 list the most important lesson they had learned as an entrepreneur, to which Lawrence responded: "Failing gracefully is much more important than succeeding." His quote is featured in the "Words of Wisdom" column in the September issue of the magazine.

According to Inc. Editor Jane Berentson, "The Inc. 500 is all about fast growth...But numbers tell only part of the story. Behind the achievement of fast growth are CEOs whose success proves that no industry is too humble or too sophisticated for the truly ambitious." She adds, "Their companies...are expressions of what's important to them, of how they want to live their lives, engage their minds, treat other people, feed their families, and influence the world."

The Inc. 500 list will be available in the September edition of the magazine. Complete information on this year's Inc. 5000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
