Drips is the 20th Fastest Growing Company in North America on Deloitte’s 2019 Technology Fast 500™
Akron, OH November 7, 2019— Today, Drips announced it ranked 20 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and energy tech companies in North America now in its 25th year.
With nearly 5,000 percent growth during the awards three-year judging period, Drips’ Chief Executive Officer Aaron Christopher “AC” Evans credits their explosive year-over-year growth due to first-mover advantage in pioneering “conversational texting®” and the disruptive shift in consumer communication preferences to text messaging.
“People simply aren’t picking up their phones anymore,” states Evans. “The prevalence of Robocalls and the worldwide preference of texting over talking has completely changed the landscape for enterprises who need to speak to their consumers. In 2015, Drips invented automated ‘Conversational SMS®.’ Today, we’ve held around a half a billion completely humanized conversations for some of the biggest brands in the country.”
“This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media, and telecommunications leader. “Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top ten. It’s always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in.”
