Microsoft Names Internet Gold's Subsidiary MSN-Israel as Top Sales and Marketing
Performer for Q2 2005
Thursday July 28, 9:18 am ET
Internet Gold's Share of Israeli Internet Advertising: 25%
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold (NASDAQ:
IGLD , TASE: IGLD) today announced that Microsoft International has named
MSN-Israel (owned jointly by Internet Gold-50.1% and Microsoft-49.9%) as its Top
Q2 Sales and Marketing Performer, singling it out for excellence from the 38
MSN-affiliated portals around the world. The award was announced in the
Microsoft's annual convention (MGB) held last week in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We are proud to receive this recognition from Microsoft," said Uri Adoni, CEO
of MSN-Israel. "Our success shows what can be created when you combine the
efforts of a talented and dedicated team with MSN's strong brand name and
excellent technology."
MSN-Israel earned this award by delivering the highest revenue growth during the
period compared to projections made originally at the beginning of Microsoft's
fiscal year (July 2004). During the 12 month period from July 2004 to June 2005,
MSN-Israel's revenues were $6.5 million, 12% higher than forecast.
In addition to MSN-Israel as its main e-Advertising asset, Internet Gold holds
several additional niche portals which together contributed approximately $2
million to the Company's last 12 months revenues. As such, Internet Gold's
market share of Israel's Internet Advertising has reached approximately 25%.
