OpenX’s chief executive officer, Tim Cadogan, credits the innovation of the Company’s Software as a Service digital ad monetization platform together with the growing number of digital media companies who rely on it as key reasons for the Company’s massive revenue growth. He said, “We are very honored to be included on this year’s list. We’ve dedicated our Company to enabling digital media companies to maximize their economic potential across multiple screens. Inclusion on this year’s list is terrific recognition of the monetization platform we have built and the powerful revenue increase it gives those that use it.

We congratulate the Fast 500 companies and look forward to what they do next.”
