<p>NEW YORK &#8211; Epic Advertising (www.epicadvertising.com), the privately-held, New York-based online performance marketing firm, announced two key appointments within its executive suite. The announcement comes on the heels of a wave of recent positive news for the company, including the opening of its London office and strong 2008 revenue growth and business expansion.</p>
<p>The first appointment is the naming of Charles Nowaczek to the position of Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Mr. Nowaczek is responsible for Epic Advertising&#8217;s global business operations, including product development, program management, Sales support, facilities and administration, and oversight of the organization&#8217;s strategic and tactical initiatives. Additionally, he has successfully led the company’s first-ever Management Training Program, which has resulted in other key employee promotions internally. Previously, Mr. Nowaczek was the Senior Vice President of Operations for the company, and has been with Epic since March 2006. He is based in the New York City headquarters.<br />

<p>The second appointment was the naming of Young Kim to the position of Senior Vice President of Finance. In this role, Mr. Kim is responsible for all aspects of the company’s accounting and finances. Under his direction, he has overseen the group’s improvements in operational, budget and process efficiencies, the implementation of new projects and the support of the company’s international expansion. Previously, Mr. Kim was the Vice President of Finance for the company, and has been with Epic since 2005. He is based in the Toronto, Canada office.</p>
<p>The two appointments further solidify Epic’s senior executive team following a successful 2008, and will provide further momentum to its prospects for further growth in 2009. The company sees the appointment of Mr. Nowaczek and Mr. Kim as crucial in its ability to maintain flawless organizational execution and commitment to its product growth and corporate strategy roadmap.</p>
<p>“We are extremely proud of both Charlie and Young for their dedication, commitment, and achievement,” said Don Mathis, CEO of Epic Advertising. “They have each earned deep goodwill and respect from their peers, and solidifying these two well-deserved appointments was important overall for our company, covering its most important functions. We wish Charlie and Young well in their roles and have the utmost confidence in their contributions going forward.”</p>

<p>LONDON &#8211; Epic Advertising (www.epicadvertising.com), the privately-held, New York-based online performance marketing firm, announced the official opening of its London office. The announcement follows recent news of the company’s successful 2008 performance, impressive revenue growth, and the hiring of Rob Wilson in October 2008 as the SVP and General Manager of the company’s European business.</p>
<p>“The global trend that we are seeing in performance marketing, not just in North America but in Europe, puts us in a very good position to execute in 2009,” said Mr. Wilson. “It was very important for Epic to establish roots here in London, and to be able to hire talented employees to form the foundation of the company’s worldwide growth. To now have our London office fully opened, staffed and operational is critical in our ability to execute right away in the 1st quarter.”<br />

<p>Other key staffers in place in the London office include: Heidi Kinsey (Network Director), Jason Kilby (Director of Gaming Operations) and Anna Mazziotti (Office Manager).</p>
<p>The company said that the expansion into London was an opportunity created out of intense demand, as the UK market is currently the company’s second largest revenue-producing territory, holding a lot of opportunity for advertisers and publishers alike.</p>
<p>“We have seen, even in the early stages of focusing our efforts in Europe, that the opportunity to expand our footprint in the global performance marketing industry in the UK is there,” said Don Mathis, CEO of Epic Advertising. “The important first step of hiring a talented GM like Rob, and then putting key team members in place in a new office is now complete. We look forward to growing our presence in Europe even further under this team’s leadership.”</p>

<p>NEW YORK &#8211; Epic Advertising (www.EpicAdvertising.com), the privately held, New York-based online marketing leader, today announced strong September results, posting seven percent and 14 percent gains, respectively, in revenue and profit over last September. In an environment marked by tightening budgets and consolidation, the performance marketing company’s publisher and advertiser bases experienced robust growth.</p>
<p>Epic also announced its participation in <strong>ad:tech New York</strong>, from November 3-4, at the Hilton New York. The annual gathering is the industry’s premiere digital marketing event, providing brand advertisers, agencies, portals, online publishers and technology providers a forum to exchange ideas.

<p>CMO Michael Sprouse and other key Epic personnel will be on hand both days to discuss the new platform and the company’s recently announced London expansion, and to give their take on interactive marketing’s prospects in a tight-money environment.</p>
<p>“We are working hard to continue our growth with calculated, responsible investment that our clients have grown accustomed to from us during these tighter times,” Sprouse said. “In a tough economic environment, performance marketing should get a closer look by advertisers needing to make every dollar work harder and looking for true accountability and transparency. Our leading targeting and technical infrastructure, as well as our global scale and reach, help advertisers achieve precisely that.”</p>
<p>The company will thank its clients and partners at an ad-tech-timed party at Marquee Night Club. The November 3 event will benefit the Thomas Blake, Sr. Memorial Cancer Research Fund and is invitation-only until midnight.</p>

<p>NEW YORK &#8211; Epic Advertising (www.EpicAdvertising.com), the New York-based online marketing leader, announced today that the Board of Directors has appointed Don Mathis to be Chief Executive Officer. Mathis is based at the company’s headquarters in New York, NY. As CEO, he is responsible for the strategic vision and overall management of the enterprise.</p>
<p>“We are pleased and extremely excited to name Don Mathis as CEO,” said Brian Conway, a director of the company and a Managing Director with TA Associates, a global private equity firm with a significant investment in Epic Advertising. “Based on his outstanding leadership and extensive industry knowledge, we believe Don is the ideal choice to continue to grow Epic Advertising well into the future.”<br />

<p>Prior to being elevated to the company’s top leadership role, Mathis was the President and Chief Operating Officer. During his tenure as President, Epic Advertising rapidly established an impressive trend of highly profitable business growth and expansion, evolving quickly into a recognized worldwide leader in online performance marketing. Mathis was originally hired in 2005 as the company’s Senior Vice President of Operations and Technology.</p>
<p>A seasoned executive, Mr. Mathis has a wide range of experience in online media and technology, as well as the offline sector. His prior experience includes having served as COO of the first online fantasy sports company, Small World Sports, helping build that company into one of the top destination sites on the Internet and ultimately selling it to Vulcan Ventures and merging it with The Sporting News. His experience also includes serving as an operational restructuring advisor for the turnaround firm AlixPartners and as a strategy consultant with McKinsey &amp; Company. Mathis began his career as a programmer and technology consultant with Accenture, and graduated with honors from Harvard Business School and Vassar College.</p>
<p>In addition to his civilian experience, Mathis also served as a Naval Officer, most recently as a mobilized reservist following the 9/11 attacks, when he served as the Executive Officer of an anti-terrorism joint task force. He was later designated Deputy Group Commander for all Navy expeditionary logistics forces in Central Command (the Middle East). Mathis began his Navy career as a P-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft Flight Communications Officer, and he served with the United Nations in Cambodia and Bosnia.</p>
<p>“I’m incredibly honored, and humbled, to have been appointed CEO,” said Mathis. “The company has come so far in such a short period of time in 2008, recording sizable growth and tangible results in the face of a broader economic slowdown. It is a real testament to our talented Executive Team and entire staff. From my perspective, it has been energizing to be a part of our transformation this year into a well-recognized, worldwide marketing powerhouse. I’m thrilled to be CEO, and look forward to our continuing achievements this year and beyond.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1448" title="Ad Operations Online" src="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/epiclogo.gif" alt="" width="150" height="92" /></a>Successful Beta Program Completed; Results Show 60% Increase in Campaign Value.</p>
<p>New York, NY – Epic Advertising, the New York-based online performance marketing company, today announced the official launch of <strong>Performance CPM</strong> (<strong>pCPM</strong>), a patent-pending metric that allows advertisers to track performance-marketing campaigns by measuring &#8220;induced visits.&#8221; Advertisers can now determine campaign effectiveness utilizing a new, more comprehensive approach.</p>
<p>The premise of pCPM is rooted in induced visits, or visits to an advertiser&#8217;s site tracked beyond direct clicks. A visit to an advertiser&#8217;s site is &#8220;induced&#8221; if it results in any way from an ad, even if there is no immediate response or direct click path from ad to site. This metric goes beyond traditional campaign measurement tactics by employing scientific techniques to discern the broadest types of cause and effect, excluding things like &#8220;accidental clicks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Along with measuring induced visits, the metric encompasses elements from traditional tracking methods &#8211; CPC, CPM and CPA &#8211; as well as inherent branding impacts to offer a more holistic view of an online advertising campaign&#8217;s success. Because pCPM involves only statistics, it avoids any retention of Personally Identifiable Information (PII).<br />
<span id="more-1470"></span></p>

<!-- END OF TAG FOR SLOT Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite<br />
--></div>
<p>Prior to its release, Epic Advertising&#8217;s pCPM was refined internally over a 6-month period and tested in beta on a handful of selected advertising campaigns. Beta test results demonstrated induced visits accounted for a 60% increase on top of clicks. The results also showed that the measurement helped to ascribe value to branding ads seen but not actually clicked.</p>
<p>&#8220;pCPM alters the way online advertisers can gauge the true value of their campaigns by allowing them to now measure true effectiveness and influence,&#8221; says Don Mathis, President of Epic Advertising. &#8220;For instance, if you see an ad without clicking but remember the company&#8217;s URL, and then visit the site later, we would capture and realize that induced visit as part of pCPM.&#8221;</p>
<p>Added Mathis, &#8220;This method lets our advertisers do two new things: they can see the impact of an ad beyond direct clicks, and they can put a solid measure of user-impact on their traditional brand-oriented CPM campaigns. It encompasses the standard metrics used in the marketplace as well, so it is more comprehensive. We believe our method, marrying marketing and technology, is the next step in online marketing campaign tracking and will serve as a model for the industry.&#8221;</p>

<p>New York; April 8, 2008 – Azoogle.com, Inc., the New York online performance-based advertising network, announced today that the company will change its corporate name to Epic Advertising, creating a single brand for its now fully integrated performance marketing businesses and services. The company will retain the AzoogleAds name as a unit of Epic Advertising, maintaining continuity as an industry-leading, performance-based ad network.</p>
<p>The re-branding will unify the company&#8217;s services under one name, strategy and vision for its performance marketing business, both in North America and globally. It also signals the completion of the integration of Bazaar Advertising, the search marketing firm acquired by the company and announced in October, 2007.</p>
<p>Epic Advertising encompasses two main units focused on online consumer traffic acquisition: AzoogleAds and Bazaar Advertising. AzoogleAds continues to provide broad-based traffic acquisition services leveraging the company&#8217;s leading performance-based ad network business. Bazaar Advertising continues to provide search engine management and marketing services, specializing in keyword discovery, purchase and optimization of online search campaigns. Epic Advertising will market both units as an integrated suite of services to its advertisers, with a focus on direct response customer acquisition and performance marketing.<br />

<p>The Epic Advertising brand will also include the Epic Ad Center (EAC), a do-it-yourself tool-kit for small- to medium-sized businesses that automatically creates display, search and coupon ads on a performance basis. Advertisers are able to target their campaigns geographically, demographically and behaviorally using the ads.</p>
<p>Recently, the company announced its international expansion throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, and it expects the name change to facilitate that drive. The company plans to continue this expansion throughout 2008.</p>
<p>&#8220;This symbolizes an exciting evolution for our company,&#8221; says Don Mathis, President of Epic Advertising. &#8220;Until now we were known primarily for our performance-based ad services in North America via our AzoogleAds brand. Our new corporate name will help to showcase all of our services as a seamless offering to advertisers, highlighting our multi-channel approach to performance marketing. As our company moves forward as a global enterprise, we&#8217;re working to take performance marketing to the next level.&#8221;</p>
