A few excerpts:
In 2008, I saw the online advertising space as fragmented, and felt we had a product that could help cure that.
It’s as much about the people as it is the strategy that has helped us grow as a company.
We’re a technology company at heart and we’ve made sure that our technology is used as an enhancement.
It’s been a record-breaking year for us in terms of revenue, but what may be most satisfying is the diverse success we’ve seen from different verticals.
In what has been an incredible year, Spongecell has just been ranked #2 in the 2011 Technology 200 awards. The list is based on the highest percentage revenue growth from 2008 to 2010. According to VentureBeat, “more than 600 companies applied, all of whom are based in the United States, are private, and earned over $500,000 in revenues in the year 2010.”
Last year the list focused on 500 of the top growing startups (Spongecell among them, #17), but the company wanted to focus on a tighter group this year, says Tom Blue, founder of Lead411 and the Technology 500.
“Everyone’s got a top 500 list. But we wanted to see how the top 200 fared,” said Blue, “The higher up the list you go, the more trends you see in terms of what’s helping these brands succeed.”

| Panel: Thinking “Inside The Box”: A Lesson In Creating Innovation In Banners | |

Banners represent the lion’s share of online advertising opportunities and they’re only becoming more important as new technology is getting into the mix. How can your team go about bringing innovation, excitement and fun to your banner ads? Attend this session and the panel will teach you the process and the tools that will turn your banners up to “11″! | |
