NeoEdge Networks Named AlwaysOn OnMedia 100 Winner
Company Selected as Technology Innovator in the "Online Advertising and Service Providers" category for 2009
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – JANUARY 22, 2009 -- NeoEdge Networks today announced that it has been selected to the 2009 OnMedia 100 List. The OnMedia 100 Award is given to private, emerging technology companies in the advertising, publishing, marketing, branding and public relations spaces. NeoEdge was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on demonstration of growth, market opportunity, quality of innovation and customer traction.
"NeoEdge’s inclusion this year is just another step in validating our technology and sales leadership in the fast-growing online video advertising solution space, inside casual games, said NeoEdge President and CEO Alex Terry. Advertisers continue to seek innovative ways to ‘engage’ with consumers and we feel strongly that multiple video advertisements inside casual games, the internet’s #1 online entertainment activity, is the place brands need to be in this cluttered media world.
NeoEdge and the other OnMedia 100 winners will be recognized at the OnMedia 100 Conference at the Ritz Carlton, New York City, on February 2-4. This two-and-a-half day executive conference is co-presented by Forbes and will feature presentations and high-level debates from CEOs, journalists, industry experts, investors and publishing and advertising executives.
"The 2009 OnMedia 100 companies have demonstrated their tenacity even in the toughest economic conditions that the technology world has ever encountered," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "We applaud their success in pushing the boundaries of innovation, creating market opportunities and transforming the industry even in the earlier stages of their businesses."
The OnMedia 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2009 list.
