“The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector. Every year, it gets more difficult to make this list—meaning even more elite company for those who do. Congratulations to each of the 2021 Cloud 100 honorees and to our 20 Rising Stars up-and-comers poised to join their ranks,” was the message from Alex Konrad, senior editor at Forbes when we found out that we’d made the list.

This accolade highlights a year of tremendous growth and company-wide success. This list is a definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world—recognizing organizations that have seen extensive growth in revenue, funding, valuation, and employee count. We attribute ActiveCampaign’s growth in these categories to our momentum across customer growth and innovation, partner expansion, and our incredible employees.

The entire organization is honored to receive such prestigious recognition. This underscores ActiveCampaign’s increasing momentum as we continue to be a leader in CXA. It comes shortly after founder and CEO Jason VandeBoom was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year and ActiveCampaign won the SIIA Codies for Best Marketing Solution. This continues to be a momentous year in reaching industry recognition for the platform that our 150,000+ customers know and love.

Customer Growth and Innovation

As internal momentum builds throughout ActiveCampaign, so does external momentum in increasing customer success. Throughout the past year, ActiveCampaign worked tirelessly to transform the way businesses interact with their customers. With a category-defining CXA platform, a library of over 600 pre-made automation recipes, and more than 870 partner app integrations, ActiveCampaign has taken the brunt of customer experience automation and transformed it into a simple (but not simplistic) process for other businesses.

Partner Expansion

ActiveCampaign recently launched a new Developer Fund as well as the Growth Accelerator Program to increase and highlight partner apps that allow customers to create personalized customer relationships.

Here, success is measured by the satisfaction and accomplishments of the business we help—and we are committed to enhancing our product to continue this success.

Employee Benefits

With the growth of customers and customer success, ActiveCampaign is proud to be continually increasing headcount, offering job opportunities, and upgrading perks and benefits.

ActiveCampaign is undergoing immense employee growth—seeing an increase of over 100 employees in 2021 to date—for a total of over 850 globally. As our headcount continues to grow, so does our commitment to serving employees. ActiveCampaign recently announced a new equity program for employees as well as a month-long sabbatical after 5 years with ActiveCampaign.

A Huge Thank You to All

Receiving this accolade is about more than just our internal team here at ActiveCampaign. We want to extend a huge thank you to our partners, subscribers, and investors for their continued support of our growing company. Our efforts to improve the businesses of tomorrow and help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams don’t stop here, this is another step forward.
