So we’ll be poppin’ champagne up in here tonight. PROFIT magazine has just named Flashframe in its’ 11th Annual PROFIT HOT 50 list!
Billed as “the definitive list of Canada’s emerging growth companies”, the PROFIT HOT 50 ranks young Canadian start-ups by two-year revenue growth. We placed 17th on the 2010 list, and we’re extremely proud and excited to be ranked among Canada’s fastest growing start-ups.
News of this win has given us pause to reflect on the last few crazy years. When we started Flashframe in 2006, we were just a couple of film-geek refugees from Toronto’s beleaguered film- and TV-production industry. The work was drying up as US-based productions fled the rising Canadian dollar, but we wanted to keep doing good work in our field, and we saw an opportunity to put our passion for filmmaking to work for corporate clients. Going out on our own was a scary proposition, but the work has proven to be every bit as creatively fulfilling as we’d hoped, and financially rewarding to boot.
From the beginning, we prided ourselves on our commitment to client service and our drive to make every production the very best it can be. It’s helped that the majority of our clients are PR and communications peeps; they’re a smart, demanding bunch, and we love that about them. No doubt, we owe a great deal of our success to our amazing clients, who keep us creatively challenged and motivated with each and every project.
Flashframe’s success is also a reflection of the exciting and endless possibilities of the new-media industry. Given the escalating growth of social media and online marketing, we can’t help but think that the most exciting times are ahead – both for us and for our clients.
