Canada's leading digital marketing agency continues to define entrepreneurial success
Elite Digital ranks among the fastest-growing businesses in Canada for the second year in a row
TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - In 2003, a young high school student named Robert Burko founded a small email marketing company right from his parents' basement in Thornhill, Ontario. Fast forward to 2019, this little company grew to become one of Canada's leading digital marketing agencies. This year, Elite Digital ranked No. 101 on the Growth 500 ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies with a 5-year revenue growth of 1016%, and it never stopped there. The company also got ranked No. 80 on The Globe & Mail's 2019 Report on Business Ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies with a 3-year revenue growth of 602%.
What basically started as a one-man operation has evolved to become a top-ranked Canadian business, with over 75 employees servicing some of the biggest brands worldwide; including McMaster University, Rogers Communications, PepsiCo, Orville, LG, NBA Canada, and several giants in the pharmaceutical industry. From well-established brands to up-and-coming startups, Elite Digital continues to help clients dominate the digital ecosystem through award-winning, multi-channel campaigns created under one roof.
A few of the awards and accolades the company have earned over the last few years include:
- Growth 500 (2019), #101 - Canadian Business
