Canada’s 115th fastest growing
TORONTO • RadonicRodgers ranked 115th in the 19th annual PROFIT 100 and The Next
100 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies. The PROFIT 100 lists the country’s fastest growth companies, ranking them by five-year revenue growth— RadonicRodgers achieved 482% growth. Published in the June issue of PROFIT and PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 100 is
Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.
“Ranking is not the most profitable companies despite what the name of the magazine would suggest,”
points out Edward Radonic, Managing Partner. “RadonicRodgers’ net profit after taxes was only 2.8%, which further adds to the value we provide our clients, and demonstrates that we run a tight ship.”
Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT: Your Guide to Business Success says,
“PROFIT 100 companies are the new heroes of Canadian business, by building great employee teams, exploiting export markets and rapidly responding to customer’s fast- changing needs.”
Edward says, “We achieved the ranking of Canada’s 115th fastest growing company by elevating our client’s needs above our own. Our philosophy is ‘take care of our clients first’.”
With emphasis on award-winning design, marketing strategies, and value added services, the full service firm is hoping to continue its growth trend. ●●

In June 2007, RadonicRodgers posted copy writer, Rosalyn Rodgers, to Cuba for some investigative journalism. “With some of our clients based out of Cuba, and others who offer travel to Cuba,
Rosalyn’s write up on her experiences was going to be helpful,” says Ed Radonic. Rosalyn set out to discover what the famous Cuban hospitality, accommodations, weather, land, sea, and excursions had to offer—after her
‘intensive research’, her thoughts were: “Wow! This is incredible—everything was wonderful and I felt quite sad about leaving!” she exclaims. Rosalyn’s writing was part of a contribution to travel publication Getaway Magazine on behalf of Cuba. Also visiting Cuba this fall was Creative Services Partner Ross Rodgers with Designer and Cuban native Jarold Muino for the ICOGRADA design congress at the International Congress Centre in Havana. ●●

Winter BOOB 2007

▲ ABOVE: Travel professionals give a hoot
HOCKLEY VALLEY • For
the second year in a row, RadonicRodgers has sponsored OpenJaw’s annual Winter BOOB event—an annual
“fun-raiser” for Breast Cancer Research, on Wednesday, February 21st at Hockley Valley Resort.
The travel industry’s finest came out in full force for a full day of fun and games to support the cause. The weather cooperated for the fourth year running, and the skiers didn’t waste any time hitting the slopes to prepare for the Ski- daddle race in the afternoon.
Non-skiers enjoyed treat- ments and wine in the spa, with socializing and networking. Other highlights of the after- noon included live musical
entertainment, including a lively ‘Name That Tune’ contest, and an equally lively snow woman-
making contest. Dinner was followed by a
Travel Celebrity lingerie auction,
which raised both a good deal of money and much hilarity. In an attempt to increase the bid on his pair of men’s boxer shorts, Ed Radonic threw in a show of his own to the highest bidder. Fortunately for all that were there, Ed did have another pair of boxers on underneath! RadonicRodgers contrib- uted $1,500 towards the event that raised a total of over $15,000 for breast cancer and prostate research. Thanks to the Canadian travel industry for their contributions! ●●
