WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - April 1, 2008) - Awareness, Inc. today
announced that it has been named to AlwaysOn's Northeast Top 100 list of
the top innovators in the Northeast United States. The first-annual
Northeast 100 list was compiled by the AlwaysOn editorial panel and was
developed by surveying more than 500 venture investors, investment bankers
and technology insiders.
Awareness was chosen for the AlwaysOn Top 100 list due to its demonstrated
leadership within the enterprise social media
industry and its innovation in bringing Web 2.0 solutions to
some of the world's foremost brands. Awareness' Enterprise Social Media
platform hosts online
communities for a number of large enterprises, including McDonald's,
Kodak, the New York Times, Northwestern Mutual and Procter & Gamble.
Awareness will be honored at the AlwaysOn Venture Summit East to be held
April 7 - 9, 2008, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, MA.
"We're honored to be named to AlwaysOn's Northeast's Top 100 list and view
it not only as validation of Awareness' leadership in the enterprise
social media space, but as a testament to the real value that Web 2.0
technologies bring to businesses of all sizes," said Eric Schurr, VP of
Marketing at Awareness. "We are truly passionate about helping our
customers leverage the vast power of Enterprise 2.0 and to be recognized as
a leader by as trusted an organization as AlwaysOn is another great
endorsement for our company."
"Each of the Northeast 100 winners had to demonstrate leadership among
their peers in the following areas: innovation, market opportunity,
commercialization, media buzz and stakeholder value creation," said Tony
Perkins, Founder and Editor, AlwaysOn Network. "We congratulate them all on
this great honor."
