APEX Public Relations named one of Canada's top growing companies in 2019
The 2019 Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Entrepreneurial Companies ranked agency #272 out of 400
TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - APEX Public Relations and ruckus Digital, an award-winning, independently owned and operated public relations and digital communications agency earned a spot on Globe and Mail's inaugural 2019 Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies.
The Report on Business list of Canada's top growing companies ranked qualifying independent Canadian companies by the percentage of their revenue growth over the past three years. APEX PR and ruckus Digital embrace the rapid expansion of digital media, by offering both traditional public relations integrated with digital services. The company also contributes to the intelligence of the communications industry through its proprietary initiatives, which include the ruckusmakers speaker series, featuring industry leaders in the digital space; the CMOLab research of senior Canadian marketers, and accompanying podcast – The Pivot – featuring industry leaders as guests.
The company's co-managing partners, who purchased APEX PR in 2016, attribute its growth to its ability to embrace digital transformation in a fully integrated model. The approach has helped the company increase its revenue by 113 per cent between 2015 and 2018.
"With integration at the core, we're able to service our clients with exceptional work, while also attracting and retaining amazingly diversified practitioners," says Kenneth Evans, co-managing partner, APEX Public Relations and ruckus Digital. "Our teams see the ambition that we bring to our client programming, allowing them to achieve their personal best through motivating, challenging and exciting new work."
Categorized as a mid-sized agency, the firm is scrappy when it comes to the clients that they secure and retain. The firm has been successful in its 20-plus year history to acquire not only blue-chip clients, but most importantly clients who are interested in pushing the envelope strategically, building a genuine client-agency partnership and challenging the status quo.
"Our continued growth in 2019 is a testament to the view we take when it comes to our employees," says Linda Andross, co-managing partner, APEX Public Relations and ruckus Digital. "Making decisions that enhance our company's culture and team dynamics is important to not only the wellbeing of our people, but also the success of the business. In fact, it's one of the reasons we continue to thrive in today's evolving landscape."
Kenneth Evans' and Linda Andross' award-winning careers each span over two decades, with both international and multi-national agency experience. Read more about Kenneth and Linda's journey in the Report on Business and see the 2019 Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies.
