(PRLEAP.COM) December 10, 2014 – The leading independent video content SSP, HIRO Media, announced its 7th place ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2014 today. The list comprises a ranking of the EMEA’s 500 fastest growing technology companies. The rankings take into account the last five years percentage revenue growth.
During the period considered for the ranking, HIRO Media exhibited a growth of 22219%. This growth is largely attributable to the power and strength of HIRO’s casual viewership, which is their “Daytime of the Internet” platform, as well as the capability they possess in providing top-notch content-syndication-monetization solutions that are not only industry-leading, but also comprehensive and highly effective, as well as simple and forthright.
Ariel Napchi, the CEO of HIRO Media commented on the fact that not only for HIRO Media, but also for the industry as a whole, 2014 was an exciting year. He goes on to point out that HIRO’s ranking in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA in addition to the growth shown in the span of the last five years spotlights the quality of their casual viewership platform as well as their desire to provide the highest level of client service within the industry. Napchi states that the fact that HIRO Media was honored as an industry leader at such an important time within the industry itself is extremely exciting for the company.
David Halstead, of Deloitte UK, who was the partner in charge of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA program points out that the combination of HIRO Media’s ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA along with its massive 22219 growth rate in the five year period considered show their commitment to furthering innovation and to progression of the industry as a whole. Halstead believes that HIRO Media has established proof that they are leaders in the industry and that they possess both the vision and resolve to show continued growth in a market that continues to be highly competitive.
HIRO Media also managed to pull in a second honor in addition to their ranking in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. The 2014 Israel Deloitte Technology Fast 50, which is a list ranking Israel’s 50 fastest growing technology firms, ranked HIRO Media 4th.

Selection and qualifications for Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA
The Deloitte EMEA Technology Fast 50 program compiles the list of technology companies ranked in the Technology Fast 500 list through nominations that are submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500 as well as companies found through public company database research. Entrants are required to have accumulated a minimum of €50,000 in base-year operating revenues as well as a minimum of €800,000 operating revenues for the current year in order to qualify.
Qualifying entrants must be an EMEA based ‘technology company’, publicly held, or private.
