Recognized for creating new opportunities in marketing, branding, advertising, and publishing. 

Columbus, Ohio, March 11th, 2013 ‘€“ DOmedia, the most comprehensive database and toolset for advertising media, announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnMedia Top 100 winners.  Inclusion in the OnMedia 100 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. DOmedia was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

DOmedia and the OnMedia Top 100 Companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnMedia NYC event on March 18th, 2013, at Convene (formerly Sentry Centers) in New York City.

This two-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on which forces are disrupting user behavior and creating new opportunities in the marketing, branding, advertising, and public relations industries.

‘€œThis year’s OnMedia 100 is looking beyond dominating the advertising and public relations sectors.  These disruptors are taking on e-commerce with a bright, new outlook.  With the massive adoption of smartphone and tablet technology, the world of retail and commerce is embracing new ways to connect consumers with the products they desire.  Micro payments, social commerce, and tap-and-pay are just some of the new payment paradigms that are ripping apart the established norm, both in stores and on the Web’€”and the OnMedia 100 companies are leading the charge.’€ says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. ‘€œThis year’s OnMedia 100 winners are opening up new sources of commerce, especially in the fashion industry, bringing new ways for designers and retailers to connect with their target audiences.  Back-end data evolution further helps to put the best products into the hands of the people trying to discover them.  With the number of innovative ideas on the horizon, the digital media marketplace is poised to experience even more growth and positive disruption during the next year.’€
