Maryland’s Leading Internet Marketing Agency Turns Ten!

WebAd.vantage.net Celebrates a Decade of Online Success

Havre de Grace, MD, October 7, 2008 — WebAdvantage.net, (http://www.webadvantage.net) a strategic, results-centric Internet marketing agency, today announced that the company is celebrating its 10th year of providing expert online marketing services. The agency is one of the oldest online marketing companies in Maryland, providing search engine optimization (SEO), paid search advertising (PPC), online media planning & buying, and social media marketing services to local and national clients including the Baltimore Area Convention & Visitors Association, Connections Academy, Endo Pharmaceuticals.

WebAdvantage.net was started as a one-person consultancy in 1998 by President and CEO Hollis Thomases. At a time when many businesses were unaware of the opportunities online, Thomases’ business savvy gained her a foothold in the emerging online advertising industry. The agency saw steady growth in its first few years and was able to successfully weather the dot com bust of the early 2000s. In 2007, the agency posted over $4 million in revenues, was named as a “Small Giant” company by the Greater Baltimore Technology Council and moved its headquarters into a purchased property in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Today WebAdvantage.net is a 13-person company with over 40 local and national clients. Baltimore Business Journal recently included WebAdvantage.net on its list of “Largest Women-Owned Businesses.”

“I started WebAd.vantage.net on a hunch that the Web was going to be big. Though the last ten years were not without their challenges, I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. We’re perfectly positioned to continue on this successful path.” commented Thomases.

To celebrate its milestone, the agency will be hosting an invitation-only ribbon cutting and 10th anniversary celebration event at its new headquarters. Expected to attend are key Harford County government officials, as well as area business leaders, WebAdvantage.net clients, and strategic partners.
