We\u2019ve been active in the VIATEC community since Crowd Content was founded in 2010. We support their goal of growing the tech industry in Victoria, and it\u2019s just a tremendous honour to have them recognize us with this nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Asked to comment on what was most interesting about his firm\u2019s scale up, Lainsbury stated it\u2019s that the growth has been diversified. \u201cI think the best part of our growth in 2018 was that you can chalk it up to many different factors. Our self-serve marketplace brought on a lot of new clients and added some great new features that helped clients scale their content creation. On the enterprise side of our business, we started working with multiple Fortune 500 companies and saw year-over-year revenue growth of 230%. I\u2019m really proud of these accomplishments, and I\u2019m even prouder that every member of our team contributed to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Crowd Content:<\/strong>&nbsp;Crowd Content is a content creation company based in Victoria, BC that helps brands and agencies create online marketing content at scale.
