BY LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 12, 2009 - Marketing ideas agency WONGDOODY ranked No. 2 in the medium-sized companies category in the Los Angeles Business Journal's Best Places to Work in Los Angeles list. The agency has appeared on the list every year since its inception in 2007.

"While today's tough economic climate has forced many companies to focus on short-term objectives that'll keep them afloat, the goal at WONGDOODY has always been the same: We want this to be the best job our employees have ever had. Their incredible creativity and hard work is what makes us who we are," said Ben Wiener, WONGDOODY CEO.

The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles awards program recognizes the region's best employers based on their various employee benefit offerings, culture and work/life balance philosophies, among others. Participating companies must complete a rigorous two-part assessment process that includes a comprehensive employer questionnaire, as well as an anonymous employee survey to measure staff satisfaction and engagement with the company's overall mission, values and goals. The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles finalist list is split into three groups based on size: small (15 to 24 employees), medium (25 to 249 employees) and large (250 or more employees).
