Company Recognized for its Leadership in Enabling the Mainstream Adoption of Interactive Television
New York – April 29, 2009 – Ensequence, the interactive television company, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the 2009 OnHollywood Top 100 Award Winners. Inclusion in the OnHollywood 100 signifies major accomplishments of private emerging technology companies within the media and entertainment industries. Ensequence was awarded in the ‘Enabling Tools’ category and was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on demonstration of growth, market opportunity, quality of innovation and customer traction.
Ensequence enables programmers, advertisers, and distributors to make TV even more powerful and engaging by creating and deploying the most dynamic interactive TV experiences in the industry. Ensequence mitigates the technical complexity of interactive television to enable customers to quickly and affordably deliver a high volume of compelling iTV experiences to the broadest possible audience on every distribution platform – including cable, satellite, and IPTV.
“This year’s OnHollywood 100 represents the brightest of the innovators in the new media space. We are enthusiastic about gathering the leaders in a collaborative environment that fuses these two industries together, culminating in the richest, most progressive conversations on Hollywood’s digital movement,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.
Ensequence and the other OnHollywood 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2009 list. All winners will be recognized at the OnHollywood event, April 27th-29th at The Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood. OnHollywood is where cutting-edge technology CEOs from the back streets of Silicon Valley meet the Hollywood digital entertainment and media elite.
“We’re excited that AlwaysOn has recognized Ensequence for our hard work and success creating and deploying original interactive television experiences that increase programming ratings, advertising response and audience reach,” said Dalen Harrison, CEO of Ensequence. “Ensequence will be the driving force behind the creation and distribution of the most innovative, compelling and engaging interactive television experiences as more programmers, advertisers and distributors implement their interactive television strategies.”
