LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

GC 500: BIG DATA B

Editor and Publisher / Matt Walsh, mwalsh@BusinessObserverFL.com

ig data. It has become such a buzz-worthy phrase these days, you’re probably tired of hearing about it. Its technical definition is a body of data that is too large to be processed by traditional databases. But it also is used to describe data that help companies understand more about their customers, their competition and their markets. In this latter definition, the Gulf Coast 500 certainly fits. On the following pages, you’ll see 500 local companies headquartered in our nine-county coverage area, ranked by their 2015 revenues. Each line contains a snapshot of each firm, including its 2014 revenues, previous year’s rank, number of employees, date founded, top executive’s name and title and line of business. The revenues listed are for the most part self-reported by the companies. We ask for gross revenues, which do not include passthrough revenues for industries such as real estate, advertising agencies or professional employer organizations. At the back of the book, we’ve

sorted the information by industry and alphabetically, and we’ve picked out the largest employers, as well as the fastest growing firms and biggest decliners from last year. To learn more about the companies on the list, we’ve also included notes scattered throughout, as well as stories of a few firm’s strategies, challenges and successes (see features, listed to the right). All this takes about seven months and countless calls, emails and faxes by our researcher team. It’s a lot of work, but it’s the only list of its kind in the region and even the state — it provides the most comprehensive listing of local companies in the area. Because of that, the list is great for more than just interesting reading. It can be invaluable for leads, market research and knowing the top players in the region. That’s why we also make it available in digital format in Excel spreadsheets that you can download and use how you wish. Visit our website to view purchase options at BusinessOb-

Pedal to the Metal Caldwell & Kerr Advertising specializes in helping auto dealers reach more customers through digital media, television and print. It’s a fast-growing niche. JEAN GRUSS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

aul Caldwell received an urgent call from an auto dealer in Colorado in November 2014. The dealer’s advertising agency fell through on a promise to create a television spot that had to run the next day at noon. Caldwell and his business partner, Tom Kerr, called their Southwest Florida production team together into the office at 4 a.m. They produced a TV commercial for the dealer that ran that day at noon. Work like that, creating, editing and producing a professional TV commercial in just a few hours, is virtually impossible, but it illustrates the entrepreneurial can-do spirit of the agency. “It landed us a million-dollar-a-year client,” says Caldwell, partners with Kerr in Cape Coral-based Caldwell & Kerr Advertising. In addition to can-do, the agency follows some classic business advice: Do what you know. So much so that Caldwell & Kerr focuses solely on dealership franchises for the major automakers. It currently has more than 300 dealer groups as customers. The list includes Gulf Coast dealers such as Morgan Auto Group in Tampa and Crown Automotive Group in St. Petersburg. The hyper-niche approach works. Caldwell & Kerr’s revenues have doubled, to $8.2 million in 2015, since the partners acquired the advertising company from a previous owner three years ago. Firm

officials project 2016 revenues could reach $17 million. Caldwell and Kerr moved the company’s headquarters from Fort Myers to Cape Coral in June to accommodate the rapid growth. The company employs 70 people in Cape Coral and another 30 in Denver. The Cape Coral office building it bought is 13,000 square feet, and there’s another four acres if the company decides to build additional space. Caldwell and Kerr acquired Moore & Scarry Advertising in mid-2013, a name they continue to use today. In addition to acquiring Moore & Scarry, the duo also launched two other companies in the last two years under the Caldwell & Kerr umbrella: Sparq and DyGen. Sparq provides auto dealers with programs that help generate publicity on social media. Using an in-house made

purchase-sharing application, Sparq helps car buyers post photos of their new cars on social media sites such as Facebook with credit to the auto dealership. “We saw a need in social media; no one had figured out social media selling,” says Kerr, who notes that the company won the Automotive Website Awards social media category last year. DyGen provides auto dealers with videos they can run on YouTube. The videos target car shoppers on websites based on viewer habits. STAY SOCIAL In add it ion to its n iche, Caldwell & Kerr has succeeded by capitalizing on timing the ad industry’s shift from print to digital formats. Digital advertising represents 40% of the company’s business, with a mere 2% coming from print. The majority of

the advertising work today remains on the small screen. “TV is still king,” says Kerr. Caldwell & Kerr, with a nod to the industry shift, is really more of a technology company than a traditional advertising agency. Kerr, for example, estimates the company spends $4 million a year on technology staff and software. It even calls itself The Original TraDigital Agency — a tagline it trademarked. “Half our salaries go to technology,” says Kerr. The company works on retainer, a fee that varies on the size and demands of the client. Because of the travel and expense of creating videos and other content, it takes 90 days before the company starts making money with a client. The Denver office services clients in the western half of the country. “We have clients all the way out in Hawaii,” Caldwell says.

PAUL CALDWELL and TOM KERR are partners in Cape Coral-based Caldwell & Kerr Advertising.

BARRY CONNOR and CRAIG GASKINS founded Naples-based Connor & Gaskins Unlimited in late 2010.

GULF COAST 500 | no. 187

‘Push Yourself’ A construction firm born in the downturn has accomplished a unique feat: supersized annual revenue growth while remaining picky in choosing its clients and work.

BETH LUBERECKI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ig ger isn’t a lways better. That’s the approach Barr y Connor and Craig Gaskins took when they started their Naples-based general contracting firm, Connor & Gaskins Unlimited, in late 2010. Longtime veterans of the construction industry (and former partners at Boran Craig Barber Engel Construction), the pair knew how they wanted to position their business. “Having a large volume wasn’t our interest,” says Connor. “We really wanted to get back to concierge-type service, to being very involved with our clients.” That hands-on, client-focused philosophy has led to lots of repeat business and referrals. That, in turn, has

helped the company grow its business throughout Florida and the United States. Revenues, for example, have risen from $17.4 million in 2014 to $36.6 million in 2015, up 110%. “We’ve been very fortunate to have a great group of clients that has afforded us the opportunity to provide them great service,” says Connor. “As they continue to grow, we’re going to grow shoulder to shoulder with them.” But just like t hey don’t chase volume, the company co-founders won’t let any potential for growth get out of hand. “We’ve always been cautious, making sure that we’re shoring everything else up as we grow,” says Connor. “It’s important to us to have the team strength to take on another project, and we’ve turned down work because the timing of it doesn’t work or the team isn’t ready for that

project.” Nurturing their team of 38 full-time employees has been a major focus for Connor and Gaskins. Over their years in the construction industry, they’d seen an increase in employees’ desire for work-life

balance — the importance of being able to do the job they loved and enjoying plenty of time with their families. Making sure those employee needs are met pays off in many ways for the business. “We feel that being able to provide an environment that allows the team to spend time with their families means that their effort and attitude and the nature of how our clients are treated are so much better,” says Connor. “We’re able to provide better service to our clients because we’re all fresh and focused on what we’re doing.” That qua lit y of ser v ice, which extends from conception and design to construction and completion, keeps clients coming back and has helped the firm expand both the types of projects it takes on and the geographic areas in which it works. The firm has

completed projects and has others underway statewide and in places such as North Carolina and California. “It’s a small world out there in the sense of the product type and scale of projects we’re doing,” says Connor. “Everyone discusses who’s performing and who doesn’t. Our biggest catalyst for doing the things across the U.S. that we’re doing is that we do what we say we’re going to do, and we do it well. And clients want to surround themselves with people who do that.” ‘DESIRE TO DIVERSIFY’ In addition to expa nding geographically, the company also focuses on keeping a diversified project list. The goal: avoid concentrating too much on any one construction area so it can weather industry and economic changes and keep new opportunities coming. So while it does a lot of hotel work nationwide — including renovations of 189 existing InTown Suites Extended Stay Living locations, as well as new proj-

ects for the brand — the firm also takes on everything from condo to retail projects. And it recently started a new division, CGU Homes, to handle its high-end residential work. This desire to diversif y means the executives must be open to new things. “It’s important to keep pushing yourself into environments that maybe aren’t as comfortable as others,” says Connor. “We want to make we sure don’t get complacent in one market. And it always leads to something even better, to another relationship.” Taking a multiregional approach also protects the firm from inevitable hiccups or slowdowns in any one geographic area, helping to ensure there’s always another project on the horizon, even if it’s in a different city or state. “Markets constantly fluctuate,” says Connor. “My biggest concern is being able to provide for my team and their families.” That might mean some travel for project managers or construction superin-

We’re not just looking for work. We go places where our clients want us to go. We’re following our relationships. Barry Connor | Connor & Gaskins Unlimited, Naples tendents, but it keeps the work flowing. One challenge in operating around the country is the time it takes for the firm to familiarize itself with different regions. “You have to have boots on the ground before you even kick the dirt,” says Connor. “It’s six months of time spent interviewing subcontractors and materials vendors to understand who’s qualified. It’s important we spend time up front doing that; we can see where the weakest links are on competitors’ projects very quickly.” But with investment in time the company is able to gain va luable ex per ience constructing projects in different environments with different concerns, from wind and rain in Florida to earthquakes in

California. This provides insight on how materials and designs perform under different stressors. And working in a variety of regions helps Connor and Gaskins stay on top of construction and design trends, and then share those with clients. That value it provides clients, and the connections forged as a result, has become the ultimate factor that drives the firm’s growth and success. “We’re not just looking for work,” says Connor. “We go places where our clients want us to go.

MARK WEMPLE

BART KNELLINGER’s first formal office after founding Progressive Dental Marketing was a supply closet in his father’s dental practice. This year, the company expects to generate about $15 million in gross revenue from roughly 1,000 clients.

GULF COAST 500 | no. 408

Open Wide Progressive Dental Marketing has grown by retaining customers, layering on new services and becoming an expert in its field.

KEVIN MCQUAID COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE EDITOR

art Knellinger grew up in a family of professionals. His father was a dent ist; his mother earned a master’s degree. Two of his three sisters became dentists; the other an attorney. But after he graduated from high school, Knellinger decided college required too many prerequisite courses. He set off on a different pursuit: business owner. To get an entrepreneur’s education, he packed up his car and moved to Chicago, because it was, well, Chicago. By the time he arrived in the Windy City, he was out of gas and the $300 he’d started out with was nearly gone. Fishing for change in the creases of his car seats, a

stranger took pity on him at a gas station and gave him coupons for free pizza. He knew no one, didn’t have a place to stay or any leads on employment. Later that day, at the Uni-

versity of Chicago, Knellinger talked his way into a room for the summer at a nearvacant fraternity house in exchange for a few six-packs of beer. Desperate for a job that would pay him immediately, he landed a gig selling oil changes door-to-door. His first day out, he made $100 in cash — selling 10 changes. For the next four-plus years, braving Chicago’s ferocious w inters and paint-curling summer heat working seven days a week, he aimed to knock on 200 doors a day to make a personal goal of 20 sales. “I would put those four years up against anyone’s master’s education,” Knellinger, 33, says. “It never occurred to me to stop or get another job. I liked the hustle. I created goals, and went for them. It became a numbers game.”

JUST DO IT Back in Florida, his uncle helped him get a job at marketing firm selling billboards and yellow pages’ ads. Colleagues would typically call 50 people a day to try to generate business; Knellinger would often dial up 450. His first year, he made $150,000. “I was just more excited about things than they were,” he says. “That’s all it was.” But Knellinger soon realized while he was making a lucrative living, he was held back by his lack of knowledge about the businesses he was selling to, and for. He began hunting for the biggest marketing opportunity in an industry with the least amount of competition. A conversation with his father led him to dentistry, and specifically, to his father’s practice. Knellinger began marketing restorative packages to clients getting periodontal work. In 18 months, he tripled his father’s revenue, which led to an offer from a perio-laser firm that struggled to peddle its $60,000 machines in the Washington, D.C., area. W it h i n t wo mont h s — though he didn’t know how even to turn the machine on at the demonstration following his first sale — he’d sold four. The secret was simple: With every sale, he’d help the dentists book clients in advance of the machine’s installation. In some cases, the cost of the laser would get covered in a few weeks. Grateful, the dental practices would typically hire Knellinger to provide additional marketing services. Mont hs later K nellinger flew to Orlando to meet an old friend. The laser sales and associated marketing business was getting too big for him and he needed help. Together, they picked three names off a list of Orlando-area dentists and went cold calling, offering to build websites for them. It was a great plan, save for one thing: Neither Knellinger nor his friend knew the first thing about website development at the time. Knellinger’s ow n ma rket i ng busi ness didn’t even have a website. But Knellinger shrugged him

off. Clients were buying his strategies, he told his buddy. They landed all three dentists they saw as clients. “I look back and I think it was such a blessing I didn’t have a product to sell then,” Knellinger says. “Because that forced me to come up with products to meet clients’ specific problems.” His nascent business taking off, Knellinger set up shop in a supply closet in his father’s dental practice, and differentiated himself by offering clients training along with marketing. “My feeling was, I would rather put in a little more time up front to keep a client longer,” he says. MOVE FORWARD The strategy works. Today, Knellinger’s Clearwater-based Progressive Dental Marketing has about 1,000 clients. “Dentists are terrible business people, by and large,” says Dr. Lindsay Eastman,

a Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch dentist who’s been in practice 36 years. “And another thing they’re not good at is marketing. But in the seven or eight years since we’ve been with Progressive, they’ve increased our website presence, our internet presence, big time. “Bart is very focused, he holds his people accountable, and he has tremendous knowledge of our industry,” Eastman adds. “But mostly, he’s a guy who cares about his clients and he’s passionate, he loves the results he’s able to achieve on their behalf.” What started as building websites has grown over the years to services including search-engine optimization, videography, social media marketing, web development a nd specia l i zed accou nt management. W here ma ny ma rket ing firms turn over as many as 30% of their clients annually, Knelling says Progressive Dental sheds only about 2% of

I would rather put in a little more time up front to keep a client longer. Bart Knellinger | founder and CEO, Progressive Dental Marketing its clientele each year. “It’s all a game of residuals,” he says. “It’s how we’ve expanded so rapidly.” That lack of client spillage — combined with sophisticated online tracking system that allows for adjustments and an ever-growing menu of new services — has catapulted Progressive Dental forward. In 2010, the firm notched $170,000 in sales. In 2015, it racked up $6.2 million in sales. This year, it expects to do $15 million. Referrals from existing clients have helped Knellinger, too, as has attending industry conferences, where the guy without the college education is often invited to lecture dentists about ever y thing from marketing to new medi-

cal technology. In more than one instance, K n e l l i n g e r ’s f a t h e r h a s showed up at a conference to find his son listed as a keynote speaker. “We teach them how to sell their products,” the younger Knellinger says. Knellinger is considering offering clinical training for dentists, and he might even invest in some dental hardware of his own to market. But those are just ideas; he admits that just like the kid who drove to Chicago, he doesn’t have a specific plan. “Our goal is always to be the first point of contact for the doctor,” Knellinger says. “We want to be the best in every single vertical attached to this business.”

TIMOTHY HEALY recently hit the one-year mark as CEO of Sarasota-based PropLogix. He has big growth plans for the company, which handles municipal lien searches.

GULF COAST 500 | no. 437

Proper Props A company with a simple and streamlined business model — lien searches — is on the verge of surpassing $10 million in annual revenues, from less than $1 million four years ago. Can it maintain the rapid pace?

STEVEN BENNA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

or PropLogix and CEO Timothy Healy, there are three keys to success: people, process and technology. The three work hand in hand, but it starts with whom the Sarasota-based municipal lien search company hires. “Just f inding people isn’t hard,” he says. “The hard part is finding the right people.” That means skills are secondary. The first part of the process is hiring for culture, and there are three specific traits he looks for: if a candidate has the drive to exceed the customer’s expectation; how the candidate treats people; and whether he or she can deliver profit to PropLogix and its clients. To succeed at PropLogix, there has to be equal emphasis on all three.

BUSINESS OBSERVER

“It’s like a t hree-legged stool,” Healy says. “If you don’t pay as much attention to one, it’s like cutting an inch off of one of the legs. It will still function, but it will be wobbly. But if you don’t have one of the three, the stool falls over.” PropLog i x’s t r io of hiring pillars, paired w it h a revamped and diversified model, sparked year-over-year revenue growth of 354% in 2015. From 2013 to 2015, revenues jumped from $746,556 to $1.13 million to $5.13 million. W hen Hea ly, a onetime United States Postal Service official, was named CEO in August 2015, the firm was known as Professional Lien Search. Then the name represented the one service it offered: municipal lien searches, mostly for title companies and real estate attorneys. Sarasota attorneys Evan Berl i n a nd Ja m ie Ebl i ng

the attorneys’ firm, Berlin Patten Ebling. It had 10 employees and did around 1,000 lien searches a month. Area software entrepreneur and real estate investor Jesse Biter, close friends with Berlin and Ebling, and a client of the law firm, bought Professional Lien Search in October 2014. He believed that with more sales people and a streamlined software program, the company could grow fast. And it did: By April 2015, the firm had 35 employees and did 3,500 searches a month. The company, under Healy’s leadership and with Biter remaining an owner, expanded and rebranded as PropLogix in April. “Professional Lien Search didn’t reflect all that we do,” Healy says. “Now, as we’ve added more services, the name is more broad.” PropLogix, which still provides municipal lien searches

SouthTech’s team members give others a coin called a “Rager” when they witness an act of outstanding service or going over and beyond to impact someone’s day positively. At the end of each month, the team member with the most Ragers is named the “Rager of the Month” and gets a small reward. Rager is the last name of a SouthTech team member who passed away who was known for outstanding support and care of his clients.

BUILD BUILDINGS, we BUILD RELATIONSHIPS that LAST We don’t just

“Connor & Gaskins finished on time and within budget and the completed project is incredible. Typically, a contractor will price a job, come in low, and then look for every opportunity to upgrade. They clearly understand the hospitality space with a real grasp of the cost to complete these hotels as well as the timing.” Paul Drummond, Managing Partner Design & Development for ABA Hospitality

Credibility and trust are as essential to the building process as superior materials and craftsmanship. All of us at Connor & Gaskins Unlimited are committed to cultivating and maintaining client partnerships grounded in experience, judgment and integrity.

Hertz Headquarters

Count on Quality Count on EHC EHC delivers the highest quality site solutions in the business. Founded by native Southwest Floridians over 25 years ago, EHC began with a single project. In the time since, we’ve handled hundreds of projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a variety of clients in multiple industries including municipalities, developers, builders, owners and general contractors. With a focus on building sturdy client relationships, EHC is known for our efficiency, quality, service and ability to make every job a success.

Kalea Bay

Helping You Drive I-75 If you’ve driven on I-75 in Southwest Florida, you’ve seen our team in action. We’re currently in the process of a 32-mile highway update. Every day we have between 8 and 10 crews working to improve your commute. We’re on pace to complete this project way ahead of schedule (in the amount of time it would normally take a project half its size), which means less congestion and a smoother drive for everyone! Our roadwork and earthwork crews have the ability to tackle projects across a variety of industries. From government work to private business, EHC can handle it.
