Press Release Body = Durham, NC - April 24, 2006 - ingage, a nationally recognized
direct marketing company offering a roster of interactive products that deliver
superior response rates and innovative measuring tools, will host a seminar on April
25th on \"The Next Generation of Direct Marketing\".

Steve Kimball, President and CEO of Tuscan Advisors, a consultancy specializing in
growth strategies, marketing investment optimization and product launches, will lead
the session. Among the topics Kimball is to cover are the increased demands for
accountability in marketing investment and the key elements of a successful
interactive direct marketing campaign.

"For most marketers, the dawn of the information era was both a blessing and a
curse. While increased connectivity and faster communications meant new
opportunities, they also led to higher standards in ROI accountability and a decline
in the effectiveness of traditional media marketing," commented Steve Kimball.

Headquartered in Durham, ingage is one of the first organizations in the U.S. to
realize the enormous potential for a new kind of direct marketing - interactive
direct marketing. "To stay on top of their game, marketers must embrace the changes
taking place and make the best of technologies that combine enhanced targeting and
tracking capabilities," said Nick Piornack, Executive Vice President of ingage.

development and positioning of both emerging and established companies. We are
excited to be hosting an event that will help area marketers better understand the
latest trends in the direct marketing arena, as well as the strategies they can
implement to optimize their investment," added Piornack.
