Released on: September 10, 2008, 8:08 am

Press Release Author: Steve Johnson

Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: WorthPoint, an Internet-based data-and-media company that
offers a vast database of sales records on art, antiques and collectibles, on Monday
announced the formation of the Art, Antiques and Collectibles Media Network (AACMN).


Press Release Body: This first-of-its-kind centralized online media network will
help companies, agencies and media buyers market to leading online art, antiques and
collectibles Web sites through a single point of contact. Founding members
WorthPoint, GoAntiques and TIAS believe that the AACMN will provide a unique way to
target an upscale, hard-to-reach population with disposable income, as well as a
wider middle-income demographic.

The AACMN currently reaches 1.5 million unique visitors per month and is expected to
grow rapidly as other businesses join the network.

“The goal of WorthPoint is to help our customers make money,” said WorthPoint CEO
Will Seippel. “The same is true for the AACMN. Our online network will help
advertisers use existing resources to reach fans of art, antiques and collectibles.
As our network expands, we anticipate the AACMN will deliver even more value through
even greater economies of scale.”

“The average GoAntiques user is successful, well educated and has an appreciation
for the arts,” said Jim Kamnikar, president of GoAntiques. “The AACMN will help
advertisers target a highly valued audience.”

“Our new partnership with WorthPoint and GoAntiques creates an unprecedented
opportunity for advertisers seeking to connect with high-end consumers,” said
Phillip Davies, president of TIAS. “The AACMN does not only benefit merchants,
auctioneers and show promoters. Advertisers such as automotive, insurance and
pharmaceutical companies can cost effectively target this sought-after audience.”
