MediaVast, Inc. Named One of New York's Fastest-Growing Media Companies in Deloitte's...

NEW YORK -- MediaVast, Inc. has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for the New York Region, a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's

leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005. E[acute accent]With increase in revenues of 1,442 percent from 2001 to 2005, MediaVast secured the 11th ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for New York. E[acute accent]MediaVast, whose flagship agency WireImage has achieved the dominant position in entertainment photography, also operates the visual content brands FilmMagic, Contour Photos, WINCreps, and DMI Photo. MediaVast's CEO Jason Nevader credits a premium photo archive and a proprietary technology platform with the company's revenue growth. E[acute accent]Nevader said: "MediaVast capitalized on the unique market opportunity born from two fortuitous factors: the rise in public appetite for entertainment images and the fast adoption rate of online technology. Being all-digital from day one, we were able to offer both unparalleled breadth of content and instantaneous delivery to our customers." E[acute accent]To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. E[acute accent]Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are eligible to be entered into the Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
