Aggregate Knowledge to Present at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference 2009
Online Advertising Panel to Discuss Shifts to Performance Display Ads, Behavioral Targeting,
Ad Network Differentiation, and Other Timely Topics

San Mateo, CA - February 23, 2009 - Aggregate Knowledge, the leader in the category of Discovery, today announced that its CEO and Co-Founder, Paul Martino, will present at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference 2009.

As part of the online advertising panel, Martino will participate in a 40-minute discussion, hosted by James Mitchell, Goldman Sachs lead Internet analyst, to discuss current trends and hurdles in online advertising. Topics will include ad budgets and spend trends, the shift from brand display advertising to performance display advertising, behavioral targeting trends, pricing trends, ad network differentiation, mobile, and video.

Aggregate Knowledge's presentation will be held at 2:00 pm, Thursday, February 26, at the San Francisco Marriott. As a panel format, this will allow interactive, candid discussion. In addition, it will be immediately followed by a 30-minute breakout session.

"The Golden Sachs conference is an excellent venue for bringing up important trends in the industry as our economy slows and advertisers need to look for ways to cut costs and bring in revenue," said Martino. "As advertisers shift away from static banner ads to behaviorally targeted performance ads, companies like Aggregate Knowledge will be well positioned to help agencies and ad networks deliver the extra efficiency and performance required to stay in the game."

Last month, Aggregate Knowledge was selected as an AlwaysOn 'Online Advertising and Service Provider' winner as a result of its Pique 1:1 Creative, a sophisticated solution that gives advertisers the power to connect one-to-one with every potential customer with more relevant, personalized ads that ultimately increase engagement, clicks, and conversions.
