(SEATTLE, October 14, 2008) – Ascentium Corporation, a leading interactive marketing and technology consultancy, today announced record sales and earnings for the third quarter of 2008. Net sales for the third quarter totaled $35 million, which is a $15 million increase from the previous quarter and marks the highest closing in the company’s history. Ascentium has seen an 89% growth since the third quarter of 2007.

The total in sales represents Ascentium’s collection of 530 individual deals across two continents and 130 different customers. The award-winning company operates on the notion that a technology-fueled marketing agency is more effective for its clients than the traditional silo platform. By continuing to innovate in interactive marketing and technology realms, Ascentium has been gaining momentum and continues to flourish in an uncertain economy.

“Our record quarter is directly attributable to the dedication our teams have to their customers’ success,” said Mark Barrett, Vice President of Sales at Ascentium. “In a less than stellar economy, we’ve been able to grow by 75 percent because of the partnership we have with our customers and our practice of coalescing around their needs; not delivering in silos.”

“We are extremely proud of our third quarter results,” said Jim Beebe, President of Ascentium. “They are a testament to the importance of combining creative marketing solutions with deep technology deployment, so that the promise of marketing is visible in tangible results for our customers.”

Ascentium continues to expand its range of mid-market to Fortune 100 company clients, which include: Dell, Boeing, Nintendo, Starbucks, The U.S. Air Force, The Portland Trail Blazers and Expedia. Last month Ascentium added Christian Aid, which is the largest grant giving organization in the UK, to its roster.
