The Drum named among 100 of the most exciting UK companies in The Leap 100
The Drum has been named in The Leap 100, a list of the most exciting fast-growth companies in the UK brought together by Mishcon de Reya and published by City AM.
Working with partners at The Supper Club, City AM and The Entrepreneurs Network, Mishcon de Reya identified the 100 companies it feels are the 'ones to watch'.
Alongside The Drum, The Leap 100 includes travel club Secret Escapes, The Cambridge Satchel Company and craft beer-maker BrewDog.
The companies were chosen “because of their growth potential, and for the broader business insight they will be able to provide over the year ahead”.
Throughout 2015, the featured businesses’ progress will be tracked via regular polls, roundtables and panel events and the data will be analysed in the pages of City AM and on a dedicated website.
Marc Sidwell, executive editor at City AM, said: "With the general election taking place in May, 2015 marks an incredibly important year for the business community. We are honoured to give a voice to these ambitious companies and provide them with a platform to comment on the most important issues facing the UK growth landscape."
Philip Salter, director at The Entrepreneurs Network, added: "The Leap 100 companies are led by many of Britain's most ambitious and exciting entrepreneurs.”
The Drum is one of five media companies to make the list, the others being Captify, Infectious Media, Periscopix and Unruly.
