Lumin Digital Wins Silver in 12th Annual Best in Biz Awards
Lumin Digital (Lumin) has been named a silver winner in the Company of the Year – Business to Business category in this year's Best in Biz Awards, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.
Lumin received the award based on several criteria. The company has experienced significant growth over the last year (as submitted in August 2022), which includes:
41 signed clients, a 78% year-over-year increase,
2.7 million users under contract, a 107% year-over-year increase
12% annual user organic growth rate
The company's year-over-year revenue numbers grew by 143%, and its year-over-year employee growth in that same span was 39%. Achieving a high level of employee retention has also been key to Lumin's success, and within the last year, the company employee has maintained a 96 percent retention rate.
The 12th annual program saw substantial competition among more than 700 entries from public and private companies of all sizes and representing all industries and regions in the U.S. and Canada, ranging from some of the most iconic global brands to the most innovative start-ups and resilient local companies. This year's judges highlighted the winning companies' visionary leadership, innovative strides in using new technologies, laudable employee diversity and inclusion programs and workplace best practices, and many winners' continued community involvement and monetary and time investments in their environment and corporate social responsibility programs.
"We believe that building a great company requires servant leadership and a commitment to employees. We want our employees to love working at Lumin, and we strive to give them the tools, resources, and freedom to be creative and go the extra mile for our clients," said Jeff Chambers, founder and CEO at Lumin Digital. "This award is a tremendous achievement for all of our employees and is a testament to what makes Lumin special."
