NEW YORK, June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 5WPR has been named a Finalist in the Communications or PR Campaign/Program of the Year – Business to Business category in The 2014 American Business Awards for its work with DigitalOcean, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. The American Business Awards will be presented at the ABA's traditional banquet on Friday, June 13 in Chicago.

DigitalOcean, the world's simplest and fastest cloud hosting service offers simple SSD based cloud hosting. Users can create a cloud server in 55 seconds, with affordable pricing plans. In a recent "This Week in Startups" video interview, Mitch Wainer, the co-founder and chief marketing officer at DigitalOcean discussed how he went from having no equity in a difficult marketing job to raising $37.2 million to start an SSD-based cloud provider company – and gives 5W Public Relations recognition for the Public Relations work they have done for Digital Ocean.

DigitalOcean is experiencing tremendous growth. 5W has worked with DigitalOcean to position the company as an authority and leader in the cloud hosting industry, which includes increasing executive visibility within the start-up and hosting communities, as well as driving traffic and awareness to DigitalOcean's cloud hosting service.

"We are very proud of the work we do for DigitalOcean – an amazing great company. This nomination is an honor for the 5WPR technology team and we recognize them and of course our great client partners at DigitalOcean," said Ronn Torossian, CEO & Founder of 5W Public Relations.
