Company posts 21st consecutive quarter of growth

ATLANTA, GA - January 15, 2005 - MarketingCentral, the leading provider of project management, collaboration, and communication tools specifically designed for marketing services agencies and marketing departments, today announced results for fiscal year 2004.

"For the year ended December 31, 2004, core recurring revenues were up 29% over the previous year," stated Arch Stanton, Chief Financial Officer. "Total income was up 26% and gross profit was up 34%. Profits were flat as the company continues to invest heavily in research and development and infrastructure to support our clients and our growth."

Continued Mr. Stanton, "While the 2004 financial performance was very strong, most exciting are the system usage growth metrics. As measured by number of users, number of page hits, number of documents in process, storage usage, and logins, growth exceeded 100% in every major usage category, with several categories exceeding 200% growth. These usage metrics are the true vital signs for an ASP [application service provider] like MarketingCentral whose applications are available to its subscribers on-demand."

Notable clients added in the fourth quarter 2004 were BankUnited, Goody Products, AMCORE Bank, Prominent Placement, BankAtlantic, SHR Perceptual Management, and Advanced Elastomer Systems.

Marketing Central Announces Fiscal 2003 Results

ATLANTA - January 2, 2004 - MarketingCentral, the leading provider of project management, collaboration, and communication tools specifically designed for marketing services agencies and marketing departments, today announced results for fiscal year 2003.

"Success in renewals, new contracts, and existing client growth continued in the fourth quarter," stated Arch Stanton, Chief Financial Officer." In 2003, we doubled our client base, doubled the number of end users of the system, improved client retention, and eclipsed all financial projections."

New clients include Michael Flora & Associates, Zubi Advertising, Jan Kelly Marketing, McDonnell Haynes, Moroch Partners, Respond 360, The Marketing Store, and DCC Communications.

"January 8, 2004 is our sixth birthday," stated John Vasileff, Vice President of Solutions. "In the past six years, we have clearly set the benchmark for price performance, reliability, and functionality for web-based project management tools for the marketing community. We look forward to extending our lead in 2004 with new features and functions including tight integration with Advantage Software, digital asset management systems (DAMs), and ad configurators. We are especially excited about our new Webline? tool for online copy collaboration. Webline? will set a new benchmark for collaborative copy management.

Added David Ryan, CEO, "Most of our original competitors have come and gone, and many technologies introduced for marketing automation have fizzled. Marketing automation is not factory automation. Marketing people need easy to use, high-impact tools to improve marketing operations, not overly complicated systems that are expensive to deploy and tough to adopt. Our tools benefit the users as much as the management and that has been our key to success. The right balance of productivity enhancement and marketing process automation create a universally appealing value proposition for marketing groups. We expect accelerated growth in 2004."
