WhitePages.com Lands on Madison Avenue With Opening of Ad Sales Office

Expansion spurred by rapid growth of online advertising on WhitePages.com Network

SEATTLE-March 1, 2005

WhitePages.com Network, a leading provider of online directory assistance services, today announced the opening of its ad sales office in New York, NY. The office is headed by Will Healey, eastern region sales manager for WhitePages.com Network.

Over the last year, WhitePages.com Network, comprised of WhitePages.com, WhitePages.ca, 411.com and PhoneNumber.com, more than doubled its number of advertisers. To increase ROI for advertisers and attract new partners, WhitePages.com enhanced the layout of its site, removing several ad placements and implementing two additional IAB-standard units. The redesign, combined with WhitePages.com Network's proven results, led the company to secure several premier advertisers including Vonage, Verizon, MSN Search, Allstate, GM, and State Farm.

"The opening of our New York sales office places us closer to many of our key customers and highlights our dedication and service to advertisers on WhitePages.com Network," said Susie Kang-Algard, senior vice president, Consumer Services. "WhitePages.com Network will continue to build a strong foothold in the Northeast corridor as advertisers look for innovative ad placements and solid campaign results."
