Mediaplex Launches MOJO MediaDirector Media Planning and Buying Tool; Planning and Buying Solution Increases Efficiencies for Both Agencies and Publishers


CHICAGO --(Business Wire)-- July 11, 2005 -- ValueClick, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: VCLK) Mediaplex division announced today at AD:TECH Chicago the introduction of MOJO MediaDirector, an online media planning and buying solution integrated with its MOJO Adserver third-party ad serving platform. MOJO MediaDirector is an ASP, Web-based tool that offers workflow efficiencies for advertisers, agencies and publishers throughout the entire media buying process -- from site selection to insertion order -- through the automation of request-for-proposals (RFPs), proposals, negotiations and media buys.

Developed through extensive input from advertisers, agencies, ValueClick Media and Web publishers, MediaDirector is the first media planning and buying solution developed to bring greater efficiency to both agencies and publishers.

"MOJO MediaDirector is an example of Mediaplex listening to the marketplace to develop a media workflow solution that truly simplifies media buying and planning for all parties involved," said Tom Vadnais, senior vice president, Mediaplex and Commission Junction. "Because of this valuable input, MediaDirector offers agencies and advertisers an easy-to-use, automated media planning and buying system with features that no other provider on the market offers today."


MediaDirector offers unique, time-saving features, including:

-- User-friendly navigation, including the ability to bypass workflow steps and use the browser "Back button" through the planning process;

-- Support for managing multiple media plans per campaign;

-- Electronic signatures to enable agencies to e-mail PDF-format insertion orders to publishers; and

-- Publisher capabilities such as attaching documents to proposals, submitting multiple proposal options, revising proposals after submission, creating packages and direct access to Mediaplex customer support.

"MediaDirector allows us to further leverage the power of MOJO Adserver's real-time reporting and optimization capabilities to generate successful campaigns with greater efficiency," said Sean Cheyney, Director of Marketing of Accuquote.
