Interactive Direct Marketing Company ingage to Host "The Next Generation of Direct Marketing" Seminar on April 25th

Durham, NC, April 24, 2006 --(PR.com)-- 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. “Steve Kimball is a thought leader who has played pivotal roles in the growth, 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.

The seminar is open to the local business community, but attendance is limited to the first 75 registrants. Seats are filling up quickly for the evening seminar to be held on April 25th at 3100 University Tower Boulevard in Durham at 5:30 pm. To register visit www.ingageinteractive.com .
