Rochester, NY White Label Marketing Platform Named Among the Fastest-Growing Companies Led By Miami University Alumni
Semify was officially named a RedHawk50 honoree this past Friday, March 15, 2024, cementing its position within the inaugural list of the fastest-growing private companies founded or led by graduates of Miami University.
Launched in June 2023, the RedHawk50 program was designed to identify and celebrate the achievements of notable Miamians in business. It also serves as a vehicle to connect Miami University graduates and business leaders with the next generation of Miami entrepreneurs, reinforcing the impact of the “Cradle of Founders” – the moniker for the University’s John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship in the Farmer School of Business, named 7th in the world by the Princeton Review.
Said Miami University President Gregory Crawford upon the program’s launch, “Entrepreneurs propel the economy forward. RedHawk50 offers an opportunity to celebrate the incredible impact of Miamians in the business community and serve as a vehicle for these leaders to pass their insights on to the next generation.”
Out of 360 nominated businesses, Semify was named to the inaugural class of the 50-fastest growing private companies.
CEO Patrick Briggs (class of 2006) said of the honor, “My time at Miami University undoubtedly shaped my professional aspirations and the trajectory that ultimately led me to the incredible work we’re doing at Semify. Miami lit my entrepreneurial ‘fire,’ so to speak, and that fiery spirit is alive and well in all of us. I’m thrilled that Semify has been recognized in this list and that we can continue to build on all the growth we’ve already achieved with our partners.”
Semify’s inclusion among the RedHawk50 honorees highlights the company’s notable achievements since its inception in 2008. Originally founded by entrepreneurs Adam Stetzer, Ph.D., and Chad Hill as a cutting-edge digital marketing solution for direct clients, Semify has since become a leader in the white label marketing sector. Over the past 16 years, Semify has supported hundreds of agency owners in scaling their businesses through its private label software, U.S.-based team, and dedication to growth-oriented partnerships. This award also reinforces Semify’s commitment to continued innovation and success in the digital marketing space.
Semify CFO Amit Dixit (class of 2010) added, “One of our core values at Semify is ‘We Am’ – the idea that we grow together through operating collaboratively. It is a privilege to be a part of the Miami RedHawk50 community, which is an excellent example of exactly that collaborative environment which fosters growth between successful Miami alumni in business and future leaders.”
