Articulate Communications Inc. Revenues More Than Double in 2004; Technology Specialist Seizes Rebounding Market Opportunities; Closes Year with New Account Wins.

NEW YORK -- Articulate Communications Inc., a specialist in business-to-business and technology public relations, today announced it has achieved a 108 percent year-over-year revenue increase for 2004 to $1.7 million. The company also announced the addition of several significant new clients in the fourth quarter.

"This was a tremendous year for Articulate and its clients," said Laura Grimmer, Articulate president and CEO. "The agency expanded into new office space, more then doubled its annual revenue from 2003 and established new relationships with several leaders in promising industries. We're proving that companies prefer measurable and focused public relations programs over fuzzy retainer-based relationships that often over-promise and under-deliver."

Articulate's newest clients include:

--Newview Technologies Inc.: Founded in 1998, Newview develops direct material specification and procurement solutions that connect product development and procurement. Newview's solutions have been deployed in customers that include DaimlerChrysler, Delphi, Ford Motor Company, International Truck and Engine Corporation, Rolls-Royce plc and BHP Steel.

--Optum Inc.: Optum is a leading provider of on-demand, open-standards supply chain execution solutions. With more than 20 years of supply chain experience, the company has more than 1,000 deployments worldwide within customers such as Avnet, Bausch & Lomb, Home Shopping Network, InterState Battery, LearJet, Lucent, Pier 1 Imports, Ryder and Zales.

--New York Angels: Since 1997, New York Angels and its predecessors have invested more than $18 million in 62 early stage technology and high-growth companies in the Northeast. The firm's members seek to obtain outstanding financial returns by providing seed and early stage capital up to $1 million and accelerating companies to market leadership.

"Articulate immediately jumped on board and became a contributing member of our marketing organization," said Dave Simbari, CEO of Optum, which selected Articulate after more than a decade with its previous PR firm. "Through the firm's in-depth knowledge of our market and its longstanding relationships with leading influencers such as AMR Research, we have been impressed with our team's experience and ability to generate results quickly."

Articulate delivers targeted public relations strategies that help organizations achieve their business goals and positively impact the bottom line. The agency provides a complete range of services, including media and analyst relations, message development, marketing material and bylined article drafting, competitive analysis and perception studies, media training, corporate visibility campaigns, industry awards and thought leadership and inclusive program measurement.
