Search Engine People Named One of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies by Profit Magazine
June 1, 2009I am really pleased to announce that Search Engine People has been named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies by Profit Magazine. In fact, we are ranked as the 87th fastest growing company. The rankings were just released at 9 am EST this morning here!
We’ve known for a long time that we’ve got a search marketing “dream team”, so its nice to have that validated by a publication as respected as Profit Magazine! The Profit 100 rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over the previous 5 year period, and upon having attained a minimum revenue level.
Profit Magazine is Canada’s preeminent publication dedicated to the management issues and opportunities facing small and mid-sized businesses. Published six times a year by Rogers Publishing Ltd., PROFIT is distributed almost exclusively to the chief executives of companies with five to 250 employees and annual revenue of $1 million to $25 million, reaching 306,000 readers across Canada.
We’ll now gladly add this award to the Branham award we received in 2006, as one of the “Top 25 Canadian IT Up and Comers” .
I would like to take this post as an opportunity to thank all our valued clients and employees for making this award a reality. Without you all, this would not have been possible!
Below, follows our press release on the topic.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Search Engine People Inc. named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies
–Search marketing ‘dream team’ relies on win-win-win philosophy to fuel success–
Ajax, ON, June 1, 2009—Search Engine People Inc. (SEP), Canada’s premiere search marketing firm, has been named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies. The company ranked 87th in the 21st annual PROFIT 100 ranking of Canada’s fastest-growing companies by PROFIT Magazine.
“Over the last five years, we achieved tremendous revenue growth” says Jeff Quipp, president and CEO of Search Engine People Inc. “This phenomenal growth has been a team effort—we employ dedicated specialists in all aspects of search marketing including a variety of industry experts and renowned consultants.”
Quipp routinely speaks at conferences worldwide on the topic of search engine optimization and is widely recognized as one of the preeminent authorities on search and social media. He is a leading expert on Internet marketing, search engine optimization, paid search management, reputation management and social media marketing.
“Client satisfaction is critical to our success,” Quipp adds. “Happy clients have carried our message of quality and results to their contacts, leading to skyrocketing referrals, self-financed growth and non-existent employee turnover. Our approach has been a win for our clients, a win for Search Engine People and definitely a win for our employees.”
The company expects its growth to continue and plans to open a Vancouver office in August 2009. It was also recently selected to lead the Internet Advertising Board’s “Paid Search” course in cities across the country beginning in July.
Ranking Canada’s fastest-growing companies by five-year revenue growth, the PROFIT 100 profiles the country’s most successful growth companies. Published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFIT100.com, the PROFIT 100 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.
“The PROFIT 100 are an inspiration to entrepreneurs at all stages of growth, from startup to major corporation,” says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT. “Their business practices and product innovations are exemplary of how businesses can succeed in uncertain times.”
