A counter-intuitive statistic is how many of the largest most successful
firms in the U.S. are actually headquartered in smaller cities. 68% of
the largest Best Practices firms are from cities with a population of less
than 1 million. A review of the firms suggests that these “super-
regional” agencies often start out in a smaller city and then leverage
their very strong competitive position in that city to expand into larger
cities throughout their region.
