Announced today , SJC has once again requalified as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies, marking SJC's 22nd consecutive year achieving this significant recognition.
Canada's Best Managed Companies is the country's leading business awards program, recognizing excellence in privately owned Canadian companies. Each year, the program evaluates companies on their overall business performance and sustained growth, focusing on strategy, commitment, capabilities & innovation, and governance & financials.
"This long-standing recognition is a testament to who we are as a company," says Tony Gagliano, CEO of SJC. "Over these past two decades, we've certainly seen our share of market shifts and technological advances. The award confirms our collective ability to consistently innovate and adapt with urgency—a value that’s more critical than ever. It reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team in navigating an evolving landscape while remaining committed to our core strength of reaching Canadians with quality, trusted content."
This past year has been marked by significant advancements and innovations that contributed to this recognition. SJC's 2024 key highlights included numerous journalism awards, integrating technology from its Assembly business into its brand websites for improved content experiences, the launch of AI Worx (SJC's suite of human-led AI solutions for commercial creative work), the introduction of new events from its Wonder events pillar, first-of-its-kind branded content collaborations, and substantial progress in audience targeting, performance marketing and first-party data strategies—all vital for delivering effective solutions in today’s digital landscape.
Despite a challenging market, there are many reasons for SJC to be optimistic about the future as it increasingly leverages the integrated strength of its Content, Media and Assembly divisions to deliver comprehensive solutions.
"Our sustained ability to navigate challenges and achieve such milestones comes directly from our people," says Gagliano. "Their ingenuity with the content we create, the stories we tell, and the experiences we deliver is the backbone of SJC's success."
