DDN President Honored for Entrepreneurial Spirit

Ross Bjella recognized with BRAVO! Award; DDN lauded for public relations
campaign
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.--(Business Wire)--
DDN and its President, Ross Bjella, have been honored for excellence in
entrepreneurial spirit and public relations efforts, the company announced
today.

Bjella has received the BRAVO! Entrepreneur Award, presented by the business
publication BizTimes Milwaukee. The award recognizes southeast Wisconsin
business leaders for their innovative contributions to the region`s overall
economic growth and development.

The BRAVO! Award selection committee noted the following about DDN`s success
under Bjella`s leadership:

* DDN attracts new clients in all market segments: brands, generics, biologics
and medical devices. Today, no single client makes up more than 15 percent of
total revenue, and the diversified client base has enabled DDN to prosper
regardless of negative impact in any one segment.
* According to state licensing information, 38 new pharmaceutical companies were
registered in the United States in 2008; 28 became DDN clients - a remarkable 75
percent share. Also, DDN has never lost a client due to a service failure.
* In helping to weather challenging economic times, the DDN team identifies and
develops services for these emerging pharmaceutical clients. In 2008, new
revenue streams identified in the last year made up 5 percent of total revenue
and are growing significantly.

"In a time of great uncertainty, the DDN team has aggressively looked for ways
to expand our service offerings in ways that help our clients and, ultimately,
those who rely on life sciences to improve their quality of life," Bjella said.
"DDN`s growing impact is something we all take great pride in."

In addition, DDN was recently recognized with a Business Marketing Association
(Milwaukee) 2009 Award of Excellence for its ongoing public relations campaign
in 2008. The BMA Awards Committee consisted of a panel of impartial judges from
corporate advertising management and agencies around the world, including
London, L.A., Seattle and other major markets.

"As part of DDN`s rebranding campaign, we sought to tell our story in ways that
illustrate our success as a team of dedicated professionals," Bjella noted. "In
addition, DDN consistently strives for excellence on behalf of our clients,
while looking for ways to give back to the community whenever possible. We are
grateful for this recognition."
