INDIANAPOLIS – ExactTarget, a leading provider of on-demand email and one-to-one marketing solutions, announces it has been named a recipient of the 2009 Upshot50 Marketing Technology Leaders Award.

The Upshot50 Awards recognize marketing technology providers offering the most innovative, powerful and useful marketing tools and techniques. Compiled by Upshot Institute, a marketing analysis, education and consulting firm, the list was determined by nominations from marketing professionals and ultimately selected based on votes from the marketing community.
