FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York, NY (May 16, 2008) Direct Agents, an interactive advertising agency, has been named one of the 50 Fastest Growing Asian-American Businesses by the U.S. Pan Asian-American Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation. Direct Agents will be honored at the USPAACC White House Gala on May 28th in Washington, DC.
The USPAACC-EF is the largest Asian-American nonprofit association in the United States. Founded in 1984, the USPAACC-EF’s ongoing work concerns the personal and professional development of Asian-American businesses and business owners. Those Asian American-owned enterprises competing for the prestigious ranking are assessed on the basis of percentage revenue growth over a period of three years, with finalists and winners independently verified by the accounting and consulting firm of BDO Seidman, LLP.
Direct Agents’ founders, brothers Josh and Dinesh Boaz, attribute much of their remarkable young success to the values of their Asian heritage. They launched Direct Agents in 2003 and have since guided the company through five consecutive years of more than 50% annual growth. “We are honored to have been named one of the 50 Fastest Growing Asian-American Businesses by the USPAACC,†says director Dinesh Boaz. “We were inspired to grow our business by all the hard work our parents did when we first came to this country. We look forward to continuing our success in the interactive advertising industry in that spirit.â€
Already in the works at Direct Agents are plans to cultivate their ever-expanding reach into foreign markets. With the launch of their UK marketing division, Affiliate Response, the company eagerly anticipates the opening of its London office by December 2008. In addition, Direct Agents aims to commence operations in several other business units while continuing its phenomenal year-to-date growth throughout 2008.
