Content Ignite named in The Sunday Times 100 Tech 2026, recognising Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies

London, United Kingdom — 19 January 2026 — Content Ignite today announced it has been included in the 2026 edition of The Sunday Times 100 Tech, the league table recognising Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies.

Content Ignite placed in 45th place in the software table, and the only advertising technology business listed.

The annual ranking highlights high-performing private technology businesses across the UK. Content Ignite’s inclusion reflects strong growth achieved in challenging trading conditions and continued momentum in its mission to help publishers increase revenue through monetisation and ad management tools.

“Being named in The Sunday Times 100 Tech is a significant milestone for Content Ignite,” said James Hanslip, CEO and Co-Founder. “It’s recognition of the progress we’ve made building a business focused on long-term value - for our publishers, our partners, and our team. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’re even more energised about what comes next.”

“Most importantly for us, this is a team achievement,” said Ben Spencer, COO and Co-Founder. “Our team turns up every day with energy, care, and attention to detail - and that’s what makes the difference. We’re equally grateful to the publishers we partner with. Their trust and ambition, and the way they collaborate with us, keeps us improving both the day-to-day service we deliver and the technology that supports our collective growth. This recognition is something we’ve built together.”

Content Ignite works with publishers to optimise monetisation performance, improve operational efficiency, and unlock new revenue opportunities through data-led ad management and tooling.
