I am really pleased to announce that Search Engine People has been named one of Canadas 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!
Weve known for a long time that weve 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 Canadas 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.
Well 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.
