After eight years of quiet growth, an Ottawa digital media firm has secured $1 million in investment money.
MediaMiser is a media monitoring firm that specializes in tracking how companies are doing with online campaigns.
The CEO of the firm, Brett Serjeanstson, says the money will, in his words, "blow the doors off" the company.
A company spokesperson says its client base is growing as more firms realize the importance of tracking their brand.
In the next six months, the firm plans to hire at least 15 additional staff, adding to its current staff of 37.
Last year, the company posted a 50 per cent revenue growth. This year, they are on track to do the same. The company predicts up to 75 per cent growth for the next year.
MediaMiser is the kind of firm the City of Ottawa is hoping will be a fast-growing part of the tech sector.
The investment money comes from the Royal Bank of Canada and the federal Business Development Bank.
