Futuri Inc.'s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, September 2, 2015

For the second year in a row, Futuri Media, was recognized with the distinction of being named to the Inc. 500|5000 lists as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America and the only media technology company on the Inc. list. As part of that growth, the company inked a longterm national sales rep agreement with Premiere Networks in April.

Now, over 525 stations, networks and broadcast groups use Futuri's technology across North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The company's revenue growth of 185% placed Futuri among the upper tier on the list, ranking number 59 nationally and number 23 in percentage-growth in Ohio in revenue among firms its size. Among the 336 software firms on the list, Futuri ranked number one in Cleveland in revenue growth and number 14 in the metro overall.

"The three key drivers in Futuri's growth this year have been our TopicPulse social media intel system, mobile apps for TV and radio broadcasters, and our LDR (Listener Driven Radio) interactive programming systems," said Futuri Media CEO Daniel Anstandig. "Our mission is to leverage social and mobile technology for broadcasters in a way that engages audiences, cultivates loyalty, and drives ad revenue. Futuri's continued growth is a testament to our team's commitment and success in driving results for our partners."

The Premiere partnership included all of Futuri's interactive radio programming platform brands: LDR (Listener Driven Radio), Futuri Mobile Apps, and TopicPulse, a social media monitoring system for broadcast stations across the U.S. Additionally, Premiere's international division will offer Futuri's systems and services to Canada and, later this year, to the UK and continental European markets.
