“This year was especially difficult,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Digitalsmiths shows great promise, and therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring North America award. We know that this year’s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far.”

During the months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, and clean tech industries sent in submissions to qualify for the award.

“With the proliferation of connected devices, consumer electronics like the iPad, BlackBerry and Nintendo Wii are fueling the market demand for rich digital media on demand,” said Ben Weinberger, CEO and co-founder, Digitalsmiths. “Digitalsmiths’ recognition to be considered for this accolade demonstrates the business community’s increased understanding, appreciation and enthusiasm around metadata management solutions that can edit, publish and manage high-end digital media content, and the profitable potential it holds for Hollywood studios.”
