Special Group ranked New Zealand’s 16th fastest growing company at Deloitte Fast 50 Awards
At the Deloitte Fast 50 awards last night Special Group was named the 16th fastest growing company in New Zealand.
They are the first advertising agency to ever break into the top 20 and only the second ever to make the list.
Special was also named Fastest Growing Business Services Business (Auckland and Upper North Island).
The awards have been running for a decade – and companies have to pass stringent entry criteria, submitting verified revenue information for the past 3 financial years.
Special was founded 4 years ago and in that short time has won numerous Agency of the Year titles, a Cannes Grand Prix, Axis Best in Show, Caxton Best in show, multiple EFFIE Golds and has been ranked by Cannes as one of the 10 best independent agencies in the world.
Says managing partner Michael Redwood: “In a basic sense what we create is attention, sales and growth for our clients – so this award is just a result of doing that really well.”
This rapid growth has also prompted Special’s recent move from Kingsland to larger premises in central Auckland.
The event was held simultaneously in Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Christchurch and Dunedin. Previous companies to make the list include Trademe, The Warehouse Group, Icebreaker, 42 Below and Kathmandu.
