SEATTLE, Jan. 20, 2009 — Ascentium Corporation, an award-winning digital agency, kicks off the new year with unprecedented sales and earnings for the fourth quarter of 2008. Net sales for the fourth quarter totaled $20.5 million, which is a $6.5 million increase over the fourth quarter of 2007. This has been a record sales year for the interactive marketing and technology consultancy, further extending Ascentium’s strong footprint in the industry.

The total in fourth quarter sales represents Ascentium’s collection of 333 individual deals in North America and Europe. Ascentium has seen a 47% growth since the fourth quarter of 2007; a number the company attributes to its notion that a technology-fueled marketing agency is more effective than the traditional silo platform. In a struggling market, Ascentium has been gaining momentum with impressive sales, a growing roster of clients and a wide range of business solutions.

“In a time when advertising and marketing agencies are enduring difficulty, Ascentium continues to prevail,” said Jim Beebe, President of Ascentium. “Our strong fourth quarter results are a testament to Ascentium’s deep technological and marketing expertise, as well as to the relationship we maintain with our customers and partners.”

“Ascentium prides itself on coalescing around the needs of its clients, as opposed to following rigid internal organizational principles,” said Curt Doolittle, CEO of Ascentium. “Our ability to take risks and to focus on customers’ needs first and foremost is what drives our success.”

Ascentium continues to expand upon its wide breadth of services and capabilities including marketing strategy, systems integration, enterprise content management, interactive marketing, business intelligence, customer relationship management, Web initiatives, custom development and strategic business engagements. The company was recently declared the #1 Web Developer in the Pacific Northwest” by The Puget Sound Business Journal and is currently listed as the 27th largest digital agency in the nation, according to Advertising Age.
