SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Adconion Media Group, the only
independent global advertising network, today announced it nearly doubled its
U.S. audience reach year over year, posting 94 percent growth for a rate
outpacing every top 10 network for which comScore data are available including
Google, Specific Media, ValueClick Networks and Tribal Fusion. According to
the same data, Adconion's reach grew 27.4 percent from January-June 2008.  

Adconion is now the eighth largest network in the United States reaching over
125 million unique Internet users in June 2008, or 66 percent of the market,
according to comScore. Globally, Adconion reaches over 244 million unique
users.

"Expanding our audience network's reach is a crucial piece of our mission to
be a true partner to agencies and marketers by offering both an independent,
global perspective and tailored services to protect their brands and reach the
right consumer across platforms," said Tyler Moebius, founder and chief
executive officer of Adconion, based in Santa Monica. "Adconion's vastly
increased reach both in the U.S. and globally contributed to revenue growth of
35 percent from Q1 to Q2 this year."

Since completing a record $80 million Series C round of funding in February
2008 and subsequently acquiring leading direct marketer Frontline Direct in
March, Adconion has invested heavily in the North American market, opening
offices in Santa Monica, New York, Toronto, San Diego, Chicago and Detroit, in
addition to steadily growing its dedicated global sales team. Adconion now
employs nearly 250 people in 12 offices worldwide.

"We are committed to closely collaborating with agencies and marketers to
build lasting relationships with them and their brands," said Keith Kaplan,
Adconion's President of North America, based in New York. "Our focus continues
to be on growing our audience network by working with high quality publishers,
developing proprietary audience targeting technology and further broadening
our global footprint to enable our clients to reach their audience in the U.S.
