2015 in Review

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

2015 was a pivotal year in which we accomplished goals that will create a solid foundation in InfoTrust’s continued growth. As we get ourselves ready to tackle 2016, we thought it’d be fun to take a look back at all of the great milestones of the year.

InfoTrust Expands into Dubai

One of our biggest announcements of the year was our expansion into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region by establishing a subsidiary in Dubai.

“Our expansion into Dubai to open up our first global office was an investment into the region and positions us to better support our global clients. By working with AstroLabs, the Middle East’s Google for Entrepreneurs Tech Hub, we were able to get set up and operational within weeks. Overall the market seems poised for growth, with everyone we’ve spoken to being eager to take their marketing data and analytics practices to the next level. We’re excited to be a part of this movement.”
– Amin Shawki, InfoTrust’s Regional Director for the MENA Region.

InfoTrust Announced as an Inc 5000 Company

In August we announced that InfoTrust made the 2015 Inc. 5000 list, coming in at #790 out of 5,000 private companies in terms of year-over-year growth. That put us in the top 16% of the fastest-growing companies in the United States!

In the Greater Cincinnati region, we were the fifth fastest-growing private company.

InfoTrust Moves to New Offices

InfoTrust celebrated the opening of our new offices in Blue Ash with a housewarming and ribbon cutting ceremony in mid-September. With over 9,200 square feet, we have doubled our office space to accommodate our fast-growing team and aggressive growth goals. We also now have the ability to host events that will allow for continued learning and social opportunities in the Blue Ash community.

Over 60 of our friends, clients and community partners joined us in celebrating this company milestone with our team and City of Blue Ash officials. Mayor Lee Czerwonka delivered the opening remarks for the ribbon cutting ceremony and InfoTrust’s CEO Alex Yastrebenetsky spoke about his committment to growing the company in the Blue Ash community and creating one of the best places to work.

Analytics That Excite – A Huge Success

The second annual Analytics That Excite conference brought in 11 thought leaders from all over the world to offer insights on analytics with over 240 attendees from the region and neighboring states. We were thrilled to see such a diverse audience with attendees ranging rom large corporations to start-ups, to students and faculty of regional universities.

Team Building & Culture Projects

After so many big changes and huge goals accomplished we spent a good chunk of time in Q4 focusing on our team. Some of the activities focused on showing appreciation towards our colleagues while others were geared towards giving back to the community. We also celebrated being a finalist in the 2015 Best Places to Work list by taking the team to Dave & Busters for a night of friendly competition. Finally, we kicked off the holiday break with an afternoon at Escape The Room Challenge.

And that’s officially a wrap on 2015 year at InfoTrust. We thank all of our clients and industry parnters for making it possible to reach so many of our goals this year. We can’t wait to show you what is in store for 2016.

Happy New Year from the InfoTrust team!
