Calgary, Alberta (January 11, 2010) – Twist Marketing was named Alberta’s 18th fastest growing company, with annual revenues less than $20 million, by Alberta Venture Magazine. The Fast 50 List is published annually by Alberta Venture in partnership with KPMG and recognizes growth oriented businesses in Alberta. In selecting the top 25 fastest growing companies with revenue under $20 million, KPMG tabulates growth in revenue, assets, earnings and seven other categories over a three-year period.

“This recognition is a result of the hard work and dedication of the Twist Marketing team and loyal and happy customers,” says Twist Marketing Managing Director, Catherine Proulx.

“We are proud of this milestone for our growing company,” adds Twist Marketing CEO Roger Jewett. “We look forward to continued growth in 2010.”

Jewett explained that the selection criteria for the annual Fast 50 list – Alberta’s Fast Growth Champions - is based on company growth over the most recent three-year period. Rankings were based on points awarded by an independent assessment panel in 10 specific categories that included growth in sales, assets, net earnings, number of employees, diversification, research & development, employee incentives, marketing, capital expenditures and working capital.
