Canadian Business and Maclean’s Name Voices to 2018 Growth 500 for Sixth Consecutive Year

Canadian Business and Maclean’s today ranked Voices number 224 on the 30th annual Growth 500, the definitive ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies. The company made the list as a result of a five-year revenue growth of 319%. This is the sixth consecutive year that Voices, the world’s largest online voice over platform, has been named to the prestigious list, representing consistent growth that ranks among Canada’s top businesses.

“Given the competitiveness of the ranking and the challenges associated with sustaining high growth, it is very difficult for any company to make the ranking for six straight years,” says Growth 500 Program Manager Deborah Aarts.    

Produced by Canada’s premier business and current affairs media brands, the Growth 500 ranks Canadian businesses on five-year revenue growth. Growth 500 winners are profiled in a special print issue of Canadian Business published with Maclean’s magazine and online at CanadianBusiness.com and Growth500.ca.

“We’re honored to again be included among Canada’s fastest-growing and most ambitious companies,” says Voices CEO, David Ciccarelli. “The entire Voices team is ever inspired to serve our customers and build our platform. This recognition is a symbol that we’ve matured from a startup to a scale-up, moving into a new phase of growth. Our team’s focus will always be to help organizations communicate more effectively using the power of the human voice.”

Voices recently eclipsed 500,000 registered users and has the largest market share, making it the undisputed leader in the voice over industry. The company has also been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in North America, appearing on the 2017 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and Deloitte Technology Fast 50.

“The companies on the 2018 Growth 500 are truly remarkable. Demonstrating foresight, innovation and smart management, their stories serve as a primer for how to build a successful entrepreneurial business today,” Aarts says. “As we celebrate 30 years of the Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies program, it’s encouraging to see that entrepreneurship is healthier than ever in this country.”
