Massive Incorporated and the OnHollywood 100 will be honored at the OnHollywood executive summit May 2-4 at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California. The summit will focus on the challenges, opportunities and business models of the digital era, showcasing top innovative private companies that are revolutionizing the way media and entertainment is created, distributed and consumed.

Massive pioneered dynamic in-game advertising with the launch of the Massive Network in October 2004, and has since partnered with 34 video game publishers and more than 60 blue-chip advertisers to seamlessly deliver ads into a Network of premier game titles. With this award, Always On has honored Massive Incorporated for the second year in a row – recognizing the company’s continued innovation in both the video game and advertising industries. In 2005, Massive received the prestigious AlwaysOn Top 100 Private Companies award.
“We scoured hundreds of applications we received to vote on the top emerging private technology companies,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “Selected are the companies we think are demonstrating significant market traction or pursuing game-changing technology. We expect these organizations to have a big impact for both Hollywood and Silicon Valley.”
