NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Horizon Media, the largest and fastest growing privately held media services agency in the world, is pleased to announce that it has been named to the prestigious Crain's New York Business 'Best Places to Work in New York City' list for the third consecutive year.

"We're thrilled to have been named to Crain's 2015 Best Places to Work in New York City list," said Eileen Benwitt, Chief Talent Officer at Horizon Media. "While we safeguard our 'secrets' very closely, there is something special in the air we breathe. It's a bit cleaner, lacks unnecessary noise and we facilitate a 'white canvas' for people to make anything happen."

"Appearing for the third consecutive year on the Crain's 'Best Places to Work in New York City' is an honor and a testament to the importance we place on nurturing our culture," said Stephen Hall, Chief Marketing Officer at Horizon Media. "The office is a beautiful place to work, we actively support professional development with educational programs, we have an internal incubator program for budding entrepreneurs, health is a priority and supported with wellness programs and an onsite gym, and I could go on. And all this all happens in a warm and supportive environment."

This prestigious award comes after the agency's Los Angeles office was announced as a 'Best Place to Work in Los Angeles' by the Los Angeles Business Journal, following a city-wide survey and recognition program that identifies and recognizes Los Angeles' 100 best employers. Horizon Los Angeles is ranked number 12, across all industries, in the large company category. Horizon Media has previously appeared on the Crain's Best Places to Work in New York City list in 2014 and 2013.

Horizon has previously been honored as a 'Best Places to Work' by Advertising Age.

The Crain's New York Business '2015 Best Places to Work in New York City' list rankings are determined by a thorough research methodology designed to gather detailed data about each participating company. The two-part process - managed by the Best Companies Group - includes an employer questionnaire and survey completed by company employees.

This year's alphabetic list of Best Places to Work in New York City can be found on the Crain's New York website. According to Crain's New York Business, the 2015 winners hail from New York's diverse sectors, including advertising, accounting, engineering, law, real estate and technology.
