Latest results by comScore, Inc. show the company’s expanding internet reach.

New York, NY – August 18, 2008 – Epic Advertising (www.EpicAdvertising.com), the New York-based online performance marketing company, announced today that its performance display ad network division, the Azoogle Ad Network, has been ranked the 28th largest ad network domestically (48th largest web property overall in the “Ad Focus” report) for July 2008 by comScore, Inc., the industry leader in online audience measurement. This placement ranks Epic among the very top for specialty or niche ad network players, and within range of the largest horizontal ad networks – while only counting a portion of Epic’s overall traffic, with the rest coming from search via its performance search business.

July marks the first time the company or any of its business units have been publicly ranked by comScore, Inc.
