PHOENIX, Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freestar, the leading monetization partner for content publishers, e-commerce sites, and app developers, is thrilled to announce its exceptional achievement of being named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the fifth consecutive year.
Its three-year revenue growth rate of 241% allowed the company to remain in the top 2,500 each year after earning the No. 1 ranking in 2019.
