"As a Canadian-owned company, it is fantastic to be recognized on a global stage," said Steve Buors, CEO of Reshift Media. "The credit goes to our amazing team and incredible franchise companies we work with. We would also like to thank the Canadian Franchise Association for their partnership and support over the years. We really couldn't be happier."

Reshift also produces several industry-leading whitepapers and reports, including an annual franchise digital trends report that has been used as a resource for the industry.

What's next for Reshift Media?
