    SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Adconion Media Group, the
 only independent global advertising network, today announced it nearly
 doubled its U.S. audience reach year over year, posting 94 percent growth

 mission to be a true partner to agencies and marketers by offering both an
 independent, global perspective and tailored services to protect their
 brands and reach the right consumer across platforms," said Tyler Moebius,
 founder and chief executive officer of Adconion, based in Santa Monica.
 "Adconion's vastly increased reach both in the U.S. and globally
 contributed to revenue growth of 35 percent from Q1 to Q2 this year."

 February 2008 and subsequently acquiring leading direct marketer Frontline
 Direct in March, Adconion has invested heavily in the North American
 market, opening offices in Santa Monica, New York, Toronto, San Diego,
 Chicago and Detroit, in addition to steadily growing its dedicated global
 sales team. Adconion now employs nearly 250 people in 12 offices worldwide.

 to build lasting relationships with them and their brands," said Keith
 Kaplan, Adconion's President of North America, based in New York. "Our
