years, making the Inc. 5000 list for a second consecutive year. Buoyed by

its industry-leading proprietary search engine marketing technology,

Maestro, and client-driven approach, Didit has maintained top 100 status in

two subdivisions of the Inc. 5000. The company ranked No. 73 in the New

York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island and NY-NJ-PA region and No. 77 in the

advertising and marketing industry.



    "All the employees of Didit are extremely proud of the company's

selection to the Inc. 5000 list for two straight years," said Kevin Lee,

chairman, CEO and co-founder of Didit. "The accomplishment is a testament

to our dedication to providing clients with the highest return on

investment possible through strategic and enthusiastic counsel and service.

It's an honor that I look forward to sharing with everyone at Didit."

$185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. Most important,
