Quill Ranks #1 on The Globe and Mail’s List of Top Growing Women-Led Companies

Press Release · Toronto, ON, Canada ·

Quill, a leading branded podcast agency, has been recognized as the fastest-growing women-led company, securing the #1 spot on The Globe and Mail’s inaugural ranking of the Top Growing Women-Led Companies with 4,186% over the past three years.

This prestigious ranking highlights the extraordinary growth of women-led businesses across the country, measuring three-year revenue growth. As a female-founded and women-led organization, Quill’s recognition underscores their rapid expansion and commitment to driving innovation in the podcasting industry.

“Being ranked as the number one fastest-growing women-led company is an achievement that goes beyond Quill—it’s a testament to the power of women entrepreneurs and leaders in shaping the future of business,” said Fatima Zaidi, Founder and CEO of Quill and CoHost, a podcast hosting and analytics platform. “Only a fraction of venture funding and business resources go to female founders, yet women-led businesses continue to drive remarkable growth and impact. At Quill, we are proud to be 66% female-led, to champion opportunities for women in media and technology, and to be one of the few companies that haven’t raised capital on this list.”

Since its inception, Quill has been at the forefront of branded podcast production, helping enterprise-level brands like Walmart, L’Oreal, and Expedia Group create compelling audio content that engages audiences and drives measurable impact.

The full list of winners and additional coverage is available in the March 2025 issue of Report on Business magazine and online at The Globe and Mail.
