“After being in business for over eleven years, we
are thrilled that our client focus has allowed us the growth to be included on
a list as prestigious as the Inc.
500,” said Kevin Lee, executive chairman and co-founder of Didit.
“This recognition of our stellar growth over the past few years is a
testament to the ongoing dedication of our team, our technology and our ability
to lead the industry and empower opportunity for our clients.”
The 2007 Inc.
500 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies
had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent – not subsidiaries
or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2006, and have had
at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006. Didit is one of only
two search engine marketing firms ranked on this year’s list, and Didit
with a three year growth rate of 1,368.5% beats the other SEM firm by more than
500% growth.
Driven by a client-centric organization and focus,
Didit’s growth is particularly impressive within two additional
segments. Didit ranked No. 16 in the Top Companies in Advertising &
Marketing and No. 9 in the Top Companies in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long
Island and NY-NJ-PA.
“We were
confident from the beginning that Didit would evolve into the market leader it
is today,” said Dave Pasternack,
president and CEO of Didit. “Our team has always possessed a unique blend
of technical savvy, intelligence and passion, which has propelled the
company’s growth beyond expectations. We are elated to be recognized for
our efforts.”
Didit is Pasternack’s
second company to be ranked among the Inc.
500. His first technological direct marketing company, MSC International, was
founded in 1980 and was named by Inc. magazine
as the fourth fastest-growing private company of 1984.
“If you want to find out which companies are going
to change the world, look at the Inc.
500,” said Inc. Editor,
Jane Berentson. “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth
companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions to some of our most
intractable ills, creating systems that let us conduct business faster and
easier, and manufacturing products we soon discover we can’t live without.
The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American
business ingenuity and ambition.”
