NEW YORK – AlwaysOn, the leading open-media blog and event community, announced the winners of the 2009 OnMedia 100 Award. This award recognizes emerging technology companies that are creating new business opportunities in the worlds of media, advertising, marketing, branding, and public relations. Each winner will be acknowledged at the OnMedia Conference in New York City on February 2-4.

OnMedia NYC is where cutting-edge technology CEOs from the back streets of Silicon Valley meet the global advertising and media establishment. This two-and-a-half-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on which forces are disrupting user behavior and creating new opportunities through technology and innovation.



“It’s no secret that technology and innovation are vital to bringing our country out of economic recession,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “The companies on this year’s list have not only created innovative technologies that solve real business problems, but have stimulated economic growth through the generation of new jobs. I congratulate every winner selected for this year’s award and wish them all tremendous success in the future.”
