The company began to offer Custom Google Analytics Installation in 2009.[8]

In early 2012, the company moved its headquarters to the Chicago Loop.[9]

In September 2012, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel listed Rise Interactive among the top twenty companies which would bring 2,000 new jobs to the area by 2015.[10] The following month, Rise Interactive analyzed the paid search marketing strategies of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama during the presidential campaign.[11][12]

In April 2015, the agency expanded its headquarters, more than doubling in size to over 40,000 square feet, and expanding onto a second floor of its building at One South Wacker.[13]
