Growth of Internet users and new media revenues fuel major growth for Clash-Media

Clash-Media grows by 350 percent over last year and sets aggressive growth targets for the coming year. Its expansion reflects the importance of permission-based marketing in a company's digital marketing mix.

New York, US, 13th August 2008 - Clash-Media, the leading digital marketing company, has announced a massive 350 percent growth in company turnover in the last 12 months for the year-end June 2008. Clash-Media's aggressive international expansion strategy saw it open six additional offices in the last year alone in leading geographies, including Germany and Scandinavia. Analysts estimate that by 2015, 65 per cent of all New Media revenues will be based on permission-based marketing and Clash-Media has set growth targets at 200 percent for the coming year.

According to this year's Digital Influence Index Study, the Internet now has eight times more influence over consumers than traditional print media. As a result, companies need to reprioritize their communications to address the media shift in consumer influence. Clash-Media helps US companies expand their sales and marketing operations across America and into the UK and European consumer markets. It works together with a wide reaching network of European publishers and advertising partners that are linked in to European consumers.

"Permission-based marketing is becoming an essential part of the digital marketing mix," commented Christopher Petix, President of Clash-Media US. "In countries, such as Germany, where there are harsh penalties attached to companies that disregard the regulations attributed to permission-based marketing campaigns, Clash-Media's model ensures that all the leads that are passed on to clients are fully opted in and relevant to every client's requirements."

"We have already achieved substantial international success for leading global brands, such as HP, and believe this is the perfect opportunity for us to establish our company on a global scale," said Simon Wajcenberg, CEO, Clash-Media. "Our German office has strengthened our European presence, and provides next generation Online Lead Generation tools to organizations looking to target Europe's biggest pool of Internet users of 53.2 million individuals. We believe that our experience in the US and Europe will help us grow another 200 per cent in the year to come, with additional offices in France, Italy and Ireland."

Clash-Media is already established in the UK as Europe's largest Online Lead Generation company, generating over one million online B2C sales leads per month for its clients in a wide range of industries. Its Online Lead Generation campaigns are quick, easy to use and very flexible, benefits of which many organizations in the US and Europe have already seen.
