Molecular Honored for Community Service by Mass High Tech "TechCitizenship" Awards

Isobar Interactive Agency Recognized for its Commitment to Giving Back to the Community

Watertown, Mass., October 13, 2009 —Mass High Tech, The Journal of New England Technology, has recognized Isobar interactive agency Molecular, Inc. (www.molecular.com) as a recipient of the 2009 TechCitizenship awards. Now in its ninth year, the TechCitizenship awards recognize the region's top technology firms for giving back to the community. This year's award recipients will be honored at an event at The Seaport Hotel on November 20th.

"Finding ways to use our resources to help our community is core to our company's culture," said Howard Kogan, president of Molecular. "Whether it's contributing our talents and expertise to help One Laptop Per Child build an online community or sharing our time on Boston Cares' Corporate Volunteer Day, our team is very passionate about finding opportunities to serve those in need. We are very proud to support the organizations that are making a difference for people during these challenging times, and it's gratifying to play a part in the critical services they provide."

At the awards event, Kogan will participate in a CEO panel discussion on the imperative for local companies to continue to be philanthropic even during tough economic times.    

The TechCitizenship award winners donate at least half of 1 percent of gross revenue to not-for-profit causes in the past year. This year, 23 other companies were recognized with Molecular for their philanthropic efforts and work to support area charities.

“In a difficult economy, it’s notable that so many CEOs continue to make the decision that giving back to their communities is not just a good thing to do, but is the right thing to do strategically as well,” said Douglas Banks, editor of Mass High Tech. “It speaks well of the technology community that this year represents the largest number of companies we’ve ever recognized — even more than last year’s record-breaking count.”
