Orca Digital ranked 40th fastest growing media company in Europe
Orca Digital wins prestigious ranking for the third consecutive year.
London, 14 May 2012
Orca Digital, the leading provider of telecoms and interactive broadcasting services, has been ranked 40th in the GP Bullhound Media Momentum Awards 2012 - the awards recognising the most innovative and fastest growing companies in the European Digital Economy.
This year’s high profile panel of judges included Kristian Segerstråle, CEO of Playfish – with other companies nominated including Quidco and blinkx.
Will Neale, Orca’s Founder and CEO, commented: “To be recognised in these awards for a third consecutive year is a fantastic achievement – and a demonstration of our commitment to investing in innovation.”
Orca Digital is a true pioneer in both the traditionally staid telecoms industry and the rapidly growing area of ‘second screen’ broadcasting and digital media services – counting Channel 4, The Sun, Sky and Vodafone amongst its clients.
Orca Digital’s products include voice short-codes, 5-digit phone numbers for brands, and ShowCaster - the web’s live interactive TV platform.
"We have established ourselves as market leaders in the sectors in which we operate." continues Neale. "2012 is looking even stronger than 2011, as voice shot codes go mainstream and broadcasters increasingly look to drive, own and manage digital engagement around their programming."
