Zappi Recognized by Fast Company as one of its Best Workplaces for Innovators

We are thrilled to announce that Zappi was selected as a finalist in Fast Company’s fifth annual Best Workplaces for Innovators competition. This is an exciting moment for our team – and we’re proud to share it with you today! 

But what does it mean? Let us tell you! 

Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators celebrates company cultures that empower employees at all levels to improve processes, create new products, or invent new ways of doing business. Companies recognized by Fast Company created compelling cases for how they invest in innovation and build strong cultures that improve employees’ working – and actual – lives. 

Zappi was selected from more than 1,000 submissions and recognized alongside groundbreaking companies like Canva, Adobe, and Spotify for our commitment to helping our team to do their best work day-in and day-out. 

At Zappi, innovation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s embedded in our DNA. 

Since our start in 2012 as the market research industry’s first digital consumer insights platform, we have been on a mission to revolutionize the way brands make new ads and products. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 of the world's leading consumer brands to access on-demand consumer feedback, allowing them to improve ROI, reduce failure rates, and achieve in-market success.

Our innovation efforts are not just about transforming the market research industry; they are focused on improving the quality of life for our employees, customers, and the communities where we operate. As a certified B-Corp, we hold ourselves accountable for our impact on people, planet, and our communities so we can build a better future for everyone. 

None of this is possible without the talented, passionate people on our team to help us create a best-in-class platform for our customers each day. They put their best work forward each day so we can truly disrupt an entire industry. 

We’ve remained determined to invest in our team and build a culture that promotes autonomy and ownership. 

Our commitment to innovation goes beyond words—it is backed by substantial investment in innovation. From dedicated R&D units, hackathons, in-function planning and company offsites, we put a concerted focus on bringing people together to solve problems. If people are given the opportunity to work toward a common goal, without constant distractions or moving targets, they can accomplish anything. 

Beyond company-wide investments, we seek to develop every member of our team so they can grow into the best versions of themselves. We offer competitive stipends for remote work resources and allowances for learning and professional development, which work in tandem with our own training and development programs. 

Rather than staying in the short-term, we’re building for the future and helping our people get better each and every day.

Zappi’s is not a culture of presenteeism. Instead we trust individuals to work and deliver in a way that suits their situation – live or asynchronously so they are encouraged to take on exciting new challenges and can truly feel like they belong. 

Part of a culture of autonomy is an openness to experimentation that’s made possible through acceptance that not every effort will be an all-out success. We encourage everyone to take on new challenges and make important decisions, following an advice process that promotes active collaboration and diverse perspectives.

Being recognized as a Best Workplace for Innovators by Fast Company is a testament to the incredible work and dedication of the entire Zappi team. We are honored to receive this coveted award, which underscores our commitment to driving innovation, leveraging advanced technologies, and fostering a culture of empowerment. 

We will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, revolutionizing the market research industry and improving the lives of our employees, customers, and communities. Together, we will shape a future where innovation thrives, and data-driven insights drive success.
