Benzinga's Record Breaking Year

2018 was an exciting year for markets and we’re even more excited about what we’ve done at Benzinga. All of our progress is thanks to ever-growing team both in Detroit and across the world!

• Record financial results. Benzinga achieved the highest financial results to date. We generated high double-digit revenue growth based on execution of several initiatives the team laid out at the beginning of the year. Every business line showed growth!
• Content easier to consume. Our vision is to make information easier for our readers to consume and we are tired of financial media companies talking down to their users. Throughout the year, our editorial team optimized how we construct stories including a new format for breaking news which lays out (1) what happened (2) why it matters and (3) what’s next. Check it out!
• Even more members! Subscribers paying for our content serves as a proxy for us hitting our vision to make information easier to consume. Our Benzinga Pro, for example, we think is the easiest to use financial terminal on the market. In 2018, we changed the way we build products by extensively listening to our users. This in turn drove several major feature additions generating new trading ideas and growing a community. If you haven’t checked it out, start a free trial!
• Largest producer of financial content in the North American brokerage space. In 2018, Benzinga became the largest vendor of financial content to the brokerage and robo-broker industry. This was achieved by delivering our actionable content coupled with the best customer success team in the business.
• An Ever-Growing Team. In 2018, we grew our team by 30 percent both in our Detroit headquarters and across the world. We are looking to add several product, development and content Zingers. If you know anyone who’s interested, send them to our Careers Site or drop us a line at [email protected]!

It’s hard to believe that a blog about small cap stocks created in my basement has turned into a media organization which reaches more than 20 million people a month. I am excited to continue building with my fellow Zingers to empower even more investors this year! Here's to breaking more records.
