Canela Media Included in the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Canela Media included for second year in a row based on three-year revenue growth

NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canela Media, a leading technology and innovation multicultural media company, today announced that for the second year in a row, has been included on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

Canela Media's ecosystem now reaches 67 million monthly active users and the company continues to solidify its position as a premier partner for advertisers seeking scaled, innovative, and authentic connections with U.S. Hispanic audiences. In the past year, Canela Media has introduced the industry's-first AVOD loyalty program Club Canela, which gives users opportunities to earn rewards for viewing and engaging with content. Additionally, an expanded proprietary data offering, Canela Audience Solutions, has been rolled out to deliver advanced audience targeting to help brands effectively connect with U.S. Hispanic audiences across both English and Spanish-language OTT platforms.

"We are so honored to have been named to this prestigious list for the second year in a row, a recognition of the incredible achievements our company has made over the past three years," said Isabel Rafferty Zavala, Co-Founder and CEO of Canela Media. "Canela Media has grown in every way, from the talented people driving our campaigns and content, to the technology and innovation we deliver to our clients. With new products like Club Canela and Canela Advanced Solutions, the future is bright for our brand partners and users alike. It's truly an exciting time for us."

This year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy."

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
