The secrets of the Fast Starters
Some of adland’s most entrepreneurial agencies were recognised on this year’s BRW Fast Starter top 100 list. Here Alex Hayes speaks to some of the agency bosses about the secrets of their success.
Entrepreneurial, agile, innovative and growing. These are some of the qualities that link the adland companies on this year’s BRW Fast Starter list. But scratch the surface and there are some interesting back stories, and locations, separating these companies which span ad and influencer agencies to SEO and lead generation companies.
The criteria:
The list is comprised of companies which started trading since July 1, 2011 and be Australian owned. Companies had to report revenues of at least $500,000 in the 2013/14 financial year to qualify, and entries are signed off by an independent auditor.
The list:
37 – Jack Media – a Byron Bay ad tech company – revenue $6.016m; Growth – 80%; Employees – 6
Congratulations everyone – there’s a lot that goes into getting those results! Great to see our industry so well represented on the list.
A huge congrats Con, well deserved. You’re in some pretty inspiring company here.
Congrats to the Jack Media boys – good guys to work with, and a validation of their hard work over 4 years.
One small quibble Alex, did you really use ‘deliver more hits’ in an article in 2015…? Shame…
Hi Matt,
Unashamedly I did. It’s Back to the Future week remember.
Cheers,
