NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NewsCred, the world’s leading content marketing platform, today announced it ranked 118 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and energy tech companies in North America. NewsCred reported a 767 percent revenue growth during this period.
NewsCred’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, Shafqat Islam, credits the company’s growth to its passion to improve the marketing industry and its world-class technology that empowers enterprise companies to easily coordinate global marketing efforts across every channel.
"We live in an age where it doesn’t matter where you are, the world is only one click away and consumers expect every interaction to be personalized and seamless,” said Islam. “For marketers, this means their jobs have become increasingly more complex, responsible for delivering high quality experiences across marketing channels, geographies, and teams. In order to deliver on those expectations, brands, especially large enterprises, need to be unified internally on their marketing efforts. At NewsCred, we’ve simplified the process, making it easy for global teams to collaborate and understand their content marketing strategy so they can consistently deliver compelling content that meets consumers’ needs, while driving real business value.”
“Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. “This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls.”
“This year’s Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors.”
Overall, 2016 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 121 percent to 66,661 percent from 2012 to 2015, with median growth of 290 percent.
