CONNECT DIRECT ANNOUNCES NEW SEATTLE OFFICE Satellite office is the first for largest independent direct marketing agency in Silicon Valley Redwood City, Calif. - June 29, 2005 - Connect Direct Inc. (CDI), a full service agency specializing in direct marketing for high technology companies, has announced the opening of its first satellite office, in the Seattle, Washington area. The expansion into the Pacific Northwest is taking place concurrent with other changes at the fourteen-year old firm, notably the recent appointment of Ron Kovas, a thirty-year advertising industry veteran, as Chief Operating Officer. The reorganization is the result of a three-month "information audit" of CDI operations conducted by Venture Management Partners, an independent outside consultancy, part of a concerted effort by the company to keep pace with the needs and requirements of its clients. CDI's new outpost will be located on Bainbridge Island. The office will be run by Howard Sewell, Connect Direct's President & Founder, who has relocated to the Seattle area. The company says it selected the Pacific Northwest as the site of its first geographic expansion due to an existing client base in the area, and the potential for growth within the local high-tech economy. The new office is located at:
175 Parfitt Way SW, Suite N240 "I'm looking forward to helping expand our presence in the Seattle area," says Sewell. "We're confident that the local high-tech sector is on the rebound, and that our philosophy of "direct marketing that works" is a perfect fit for area companies looking for a smart, cost-effective way to generate new business." Connect Direct has seen its revenues grow more than 400 percent since 2002, culminating in its recently being named the largest independent direct marketing agency in Silicon Valley by the San Jose Business Journal. As a full-service agency, CDI works with clients to help meet specific sales and marketing objectives through the development of targeted, ROI-based marketing strategies and programs. The company develops and deploys a wide range of campaigns that include e-mail, direct mail, paid search advertising, content syndication, and more.
