<p>BEND, OR &#8211; August 24, 2010<br />
News<br />
•	<a href="http://www.G5searchmarketing.com">G5,</a> the leading provider of vertical-specific Local Marketing Solutions for mid-market companies, was ranked No. 248 in <em>Inc.</em> magazine’s 29th annual Inc. 500 – a prestigious list of the nation’s fastest growing private companies. The company was ranked No. 32 in the Advertising and Marketing category.<br />
•	G5 posted revenue growth of 1236.1% over a three-year period (2007 to 2009). Cofounded by CEO Dan Hobin and CFO Greg Meier, the five-year old company has grown from 2 employees to 77 and could double its workforce by the end of 2011.<br />
•	This award follows G5’s recent announcement that it received $15 million from <a href="http://www.volitioncapital.com">Volition Capital</a>, a Boston-based private equity firm, to accelerate development of <a href="http://g5searchmarketing.com/g5-search-marketing_platform.php">G5’s Local Marketing Software Platform</a> and enhance G5’s leadership in its core verticals.<br />
•	G5 was also recently named one of the nation’s Best Places to Work by <em>Outside Magazine</em> and the Third Fastest-Growing Private Company in Oregon and southwestern Washington by the <em>Portland Business Journal</em>.</p>
<p>Award Methodology</p>
<p>•	The 2010 Inc. 500 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2006 to 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by June 30, 2006. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2009. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.)<br />
•	The minimum revenue required for 2006 is $80,000; the minimum for 2009 is $2 million.</p>
<p>Commentary</p>
<p>•	“Fast growth at any time is a big achievement; fast growth during the past few years is just short of miraculous,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “The Inc. 500 consists of these just-short-of miraculous companies, the ones that through ingenuity and ambition have increased revenue, hired employees, and grown fast in difficult economic times.”<br />
•	“We’re honored to have made the Inc. 500 list again this year,” said G5 CEO Dan Hobin. “Our success is predicated by the results we deliver for our customers.”</p>

<p><a href="http://www.G5searchmarketing.com">G5</a>, the leader in vertical-specific Local Marketing Solutions, announced today that it has closed its first institutional round of financing. The $15 million investment was led by Volition Capital, a growth equity firm that invests in high-potential, founder-owned technology companies. The proceeds will be used to accelerate development of G5’s Local Marketing Software Platform and to enhance G5’s leadership in its core verticals. Roger Hurwitz, Managing Partner at Volition, and Sean Cantwell, Principal at Volition, will join G5’s Board of Directors.</p>
<p>“Volition’s partnership is a great vote of confidence in G5’s mission to deliver the most sophisticated local marketing technology platform in our select verticals,” said G5 CEO Dan Hobin. “The Volition team has significant experience working with high-growth SaaS businesses like ours, and we’re thrilled to have Roger and Sean joining the G5 team.”</p>
<p>The <a href="http://g5searchmarketing.com/g5-search-marketing_platform.php">G5 Platform</a> currently serves more than 160 clients and over 2,400 properties within the Multifamily Housing, Self Storage and Senior Living sectors. G5 helps companies like Trammel Crow Residential, Riverstone Residential, Greystar, The Carlyle Group, Silverado Senior Living and Metro Self Storage leverage the Web to increase revenue, reduce ineffective marketing spend and increase net operating income.</p>
<p>The funding follows yet another record-breaking quarter for G5. In Q2 2010, the company posted its 20th consecutive quarter of record revenue. G5 attributes its success to capitalizing on the paradigm shift in local advertising, where businesses are increasingly transitioning their marketing dollars online.  According to Borrell Associates, Local Online Advertising is projected to grow from $8.9 billion to $16.4 billion by 2013.</p>
<p>“G5 is constantly evaluating new technologies and services that will drive better business results for our clients,” said G5 CFO Greg Meier. “Volition is an ideal partner to provide us with the guidance and resources required for our next stage of growth.”</p>
<p>“G5 provides a compelling value proposition and measurable ROI with its holistic solution that combines software, marketing and vertical expertise,” said Roger Hurwitz.  “We are excited to partner with such a strong entrepreneurial team that is well-positioned for long-term success given its unique offering and focus on delivering great results to its customers.”</p>

<p>BEND, OR–February 16, 2010</p>
<p><strong>News</strong></p>
<p>•  <a href="http://www.G5searchmarketing.com">G5 Search Marketing, Inc.</a>, the leading provider of Local Marketing Solutions for the Student Housing Industry, announced today that the company will unveil its Facebook Fan Widget during the National Apartment Association’s Student Housing Conference &amp; Expo, February 22-23 at The Mandalay Bay Resort &amp; Casino in Las Vegas (Booth #329).</p>
<p>•	The G5 Facebook Fan Widget enables clients to generate, track and measure prospective resident leads from specific property Facebook fan pages.</p>
<p>•	G5 is launching its Facebook Fan Widget for Student Housing with two clients, Franklin Holdings and Collegiate Development Group.</p>
<p>•	This latest release further strengthens the G5 Local Marketing Platform, a proven single source for managing the shift from offline to online advertising. The Platform drives traffic to a client’s website, generates leads, measures marketing efforts – including Yellow Pages, direct mail, print and Internet, and optimizes to those sources with the best return on marketing investment.</p>
<p><strong>Market Perspective</strong></p>
<p>•	 Anderson Analytics’ 2009-2010 Gen X2Z American College Student survey revealed that 82% of males and 90% of females say that Facebook, the top-ranked website among US College students, is still “cool” despite its increasing popularity among the older adult population.</p>
<p>•	Introduced in 2008, Facebook fan pages have consistently increased in popularity among businesses as a tool to generate leads and develop authentic relationships. An overwhelming majority of Facebook fan pages (77%) have fewer than 1,000 fans.</p>
<p>•	Student Housing properties experience an average move-out rate of 60-70% annually. The transient nature of the student population requires ongoing marketing, competitive positioning and hands-on management to maintain current residents and generate new residents.</p>
<p><strong>Commentary</strong></p>
<p>• “The G5 Facebook Fan Widget gives us the opportunity to generate trackable leads from Facebook,” said Blair Sweeney, development manager for Franklin Holdings. “We have long recognized the value of Facebook in our marketing efforts and have been active participants on the social network via our property pages. Now, we can track exactly what value those efforts are bringing.”</p>
<p>•	“This is yet another tool to add to our marketing arsenal,” said Collegiate Marketing Director Cliff Sandlin. “The results of our Facebook efforts will be available at our fingertips through the G5 Local Marketing Platform’s dashboard.”</p>
<p>•	“We encourage our clients to create Facebook Fan Pages and engage with their current and prospective residents,” said G5 CEO Dan Hobin. “With the development of the Facebook Fan Widget, G5 now helps our clients use this top-rated social site to generate, track and measure those social connections.”</p>

<p>Irving, TX and Bend, OR &#8211; October 20, 2009 – <a href="http://www.collegiate-dev.com/">Collegiate Development Services, LP</a>, a national student housing provider, has partnered with <a href="http://www.G5searchmarketing.com">G5 Search Marketing</a>, the leader in Local Marketing Management, to manage, measure and optimize online and offline marketing efforts for Collegiate’s six locations across the U.S.</p>
<p>“Since partnering with G5, our occupancy rate has increased by 14% in the past year,” said Marketing Director Cliff Sandlin. “Having a Web presence that draws prospective residents has kept us ahead of the game in a time when some of our competitors are finding it hard to maintain targeted occupancy rates.”</p>
<p>Additionally, Collegiate has seen an increase of over 100% in website traffic and a 300% increase in average monthly online leads.</p>
<p>“April to July is traditionally a slow time period for lead generation,“ said Sandlin. “Thanks to G5, we actually saw our average leads per month increase significantly.”</p>

The Platform drives traffic to a client’s website, generates leads, measures marketing efforts &#8211; including Yellow Pages, direct mail, print, Internet – and optimizes to those sources with the best return on marketing investment.
