Fast Company Names Monotype One of the Most Innovative Companies in Design for 2018

Monotype (Nasdaq: TYPE) today announced that it has been named one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Design by Fast Company. The magazine’s annual Most Innovative Companies issue recognizes leading enterprises and rising newcomers that exemplify the best in business and innovation across 36 categories. Monotype was ranked seventh in the design category.

More than three dozen Fast Company editors, reporters, and contributors surveyed thousands of companies to create this year’s Most Innovative Companies list. "This year’s list is an inspiring and insightful window into how many companies have embraced innovation and are working to make meaningful change,” said Fast Company deputy editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with senior editor Amy Farley.

Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue provides both a snapshot and a roadmap for the future of innovation across some of the most dynamic sectors of the economy.

"At Monotype, our goal is to help create beautiful, authentic and impactful brands that customers will engage with and value – across every consumer touchpoint,” said Scott Landers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monotype. "Our innovative approach to both design and marketing is experienced every day through the work of Global 2000 brands – whether it’s the type they are using as part of their branding efforts – or the high-performing visual content they’ve activated and deployed using our Olapic solutions. We’re thrilled and honored to be named to this prestigious list and to see the work of our talented employees and customers recognized among such elite companies.”

Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March-April 2018) is now available online at www.fastcompany.com/MIC, as well as in app form via iTunes and on newsstands beginning February 27.
