Sapient Named 45th Fastest Growing Company by Fortune Magazine, Ranks #2 in Profit Growth
Global Company Stands Out in the Top 100 As the Only Marketing and Technology Services Firm
BOSTON – August 23, 2010 –Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE), a global integrated marketing and technology services firm, has just been named the 45th Fastest Growing Company by Fortune magazine, a 43-spot improvement over the 2009 list, which ranked Sapient at #88. Of the 100 companies named to the list this year, Sapient was ranked #2 in terms of profit growth, based on a three-year EPS growth rate of 188%. The momentum is credited to the rapid growth of its three divisions: Sapient Global Markets, Sapient Government Services, and SapientNitro.
“The passion, tenacity and innovation of our talented worldwide team have made the past year one of the strongest in our 20-year existence, even in the midst of a challenging economic environment. The tremendous growth and success of our company is a testament to the incredible people that I’m privileged to work with every day,” said Alan J. Herrick, president and chief executive officer, Sapient. “Collectively, the achievements of our three divisions prove that clients are increasingly relying on Sapient to deliver great results in the areas of customer insights, marketing, and technology and demonstrate the benefit of our uniquely differentiated value proposition.”
Sapient is the only company with multi-channel marketing and technology capabilities on the Top 100 list, which ranks publicly held companies with a minimum of $50 million in annual revenue. In February 2010, Sapient announced a re-aligned organizational structure consisting of three divisions: Sapient Global Markets, which focuses on providing business and technology services to leaders in today’s evolving capital markets; Sapient Government Services, a leading provider of consulting, marketing, and technology services to US governmental agencies; and SapientNitro, a fully integrated marketing and technology services firm that counts Coca-Cola, Chrysler, Travelers, and Unilever as its clients.
