“The admission to PLUS concludes a year of positive development for dotMailer. During 2008, we grew by revenue by 97% and profits by 118% and have successfully launched new products, diversified the business into other niche digital marketing products and services, accelerated our customer growth and were named as one of the Deloitte Fast 500 Companies in EMEA.

This will allow us to continue to grow and expand our offerings through internal development and possible acquisitions.”
