Specific Media Achieves Unparalleled Growth in 2007

Specific Media, the largest independent online advertising network, today announced a record-breaking revenue increase of more than 300 percent in 2007 compared to 2006. Further, the company also experienced unparalleled growth in year-over-year comScore rankings. Since debuting in the rankings in February 2007, Specific Media's reach grew by 57 percent, outpacing all of the other ad networks appearing in the top 10. Specific Media now reaches more than 140 million unique users for a total U.S. reach of 77 percent and only trails the ad networks of AOL, Yahoo, and Google.

In the rapidly changing online advertising market last year, Specific Media's growth was fueled by the quality of its publisher partners and the breadth and depth of its data network as well as the ever-growing demand for its uniquely accurate suite of targeting solutions that combines demographic, behavioral, contextual, and geographic methods. The company works with more than 300 of Fortune 500 brands including seven of the top 10. Utilizing Specific Media's proprietary targeting technologies, major brand advertisers in the automotive, retail, packaged goods and financial industries can reach highly specific audiences.

"Online display advertising saw an unprecedented flurry of merger and acquisition activity last year that highlighted its strategic value in the online advertising industry. During the same time, Specific Media became the fourth largest online advertising network and secured $100 million in funding," said Tim Vanderhook, CEO and co-founder. "With the consolidation still far from finished, Specific Media aims to continue its rapid growth. Expect a lot more from us in the coming months."
