Toronto Communications Shop CO-OP Recognized for Record Business Growth in Canada
Agency Ranks Among Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies and Growth 500's Fastest-Growing Companies of 2019
TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - CO-OP, a leading creative communications agency, is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as one of the 500 fastest growing companies in Canada, according to the Growth 500 2019 ranking released by Canadian Business and Maclean's. In addition, CO-OP made The Globe and Mail's inaugural Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies. The Toronto shop placed 178 and 310 respectively.
CO-OP attributes its recent growth to new client wins associated with its unique agency model, which seamlessly integrates PR services, such as publicity, influencer relations and experiential marketing, with creative services, original content and paid media amplification. Over the past three years, the Agency has produced impactful work for brands such as autoTRADER.ca, Midas, RPNAO, Chatime, EarthFresh and Xref, helping to drive business growth.
Peter Brough, Managing Director at CO-OP, is very proud of the company's accomplishments. "Every year we work with new and existing clients that motivate us to push our creative limits. Building our own brand alongside our clients has been a rewarding and fulfilling venture and we're looking forward to driving further success in years to come."
Launched in 2019 by The Globe and Mail, Canada's Top Growing Companies ranking program aims to celebrate entrepreneurial achievement in Canada by identifying and amplifying the success of growth-minded, independent businesses in Canada. In order to qualify, companies participated in an in-depth application process that saw only the top 400 businesses make the list.
"The 400 companies on the inaugural Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies ranking demonstrate ambition, innovation and tremendous business acumen," says Phillip Crawley, Publisher and CEO of The Globe and Mail. "Their contributions to the economy help to make Canada a better place, and warrant commendation."
Equally impressive is the Agency's second annual ranking on the Growth 500 – one of Canada's most respectable and influential rankings of entrepreneurial achievement. The property ranks Canada's top private and public companies based on five-year revenue growth.
