Smart Choice, the nation’s fastest-growing independent agency network, added 622 new agency partners in the first half of 2017, according to a news release. The company has also seen 28% revenue growth year-to-date and experienced its eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

That growth puts Smart Choice on track to exceed its projected addition of 1,200 agencies in 2017, as well as its 2017 projection of 20% revenue growth. Right now, the company is aiming to beat 2016, the most successful year in its history: at the midpoint of 2016, Smart Choice reported 600 new agency partners and 18% revenue growth.
