Kevin founded Pixel in the dotcom nuclear of winter of 2002 with an office of four people after he bought out DoubleClick’s Hong Kong business.

DoubleClick decided to sell out their Media business – that linked advertisers and websites – in order to concentrate on their technology for serving ads.

In retreating the region, DoubleClick offered Kevin their Singapore business, but he decided to concentrate on the Hong Kong market.

The company added: “Monthly ad impressions and unique user reach across the ad network in the region has grown to approximately 4.5 billion and 700 million respectively up from 3 billion and 339 million a year ago.”

    This is Michael A Montenes from M. S. Hi-Tech, Inc. in the USA. I would like to let everyone know that Kevin Huang is a crook. Back in 2005 I engaged in a business deal where he lied and stole from me between $500K-$600K. Up until recently he has been lying and telling me he would be paying me back. I have a trail of documentation showing all of the above. I just want it to be brought to the world's attention that this man is a crook and a criminal and not a success story in which the way he is portrayed. STAY TUNED.
