TORONTO, Feb. 3 /CNW-PRN/ - Warp10 Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WARPF; CDN: WARP). After
months of field research and beta testing, AdsGallery.com (http://www.adsgallery.com) is officially open for
business. The site debuts with almost 100 agencies, many exhibiting their most creative traditional and online
advertising campaigns in order to build powerful name recognition, generate new business and develop a
strong presence on the Internet. Warp 10 Technologies Inc., owner of AdsGallery.com, designed the site to
be the first interactive portfolio of advertising worldwide.
For the first time ever, AdsGallery.com visitors will see the new and improved site that is now easier to
navigate, offers stronger search capabilities and helpful tips, incorporates artistically appealing eye catching
icons, and displays a format for agency listings that will provide easy access to key agency information.
An exciting new area of the site called Future Features will be an ongoing preview of new services, resources,
and events. The Ad Spotlight will showcase some of the best creative work selected from AdsGallery.com
member portfolio's to potential customers from around the world who visit the site. Currently featured in the
Ad Spotlight is Media Revolution, an agency from Santa Monica, CA., and creator of the FX Network X-Files
web banner campaign.
AdsGallery.com has every intention of being a full-service resource center for the advertising business on a
worldwide basis. Additional services launching soon at the site include e-commerce, beginning with an
industry-focused book and software store and an area that will showcase ''rich media'' advertising and
commerce solutions on the web.
Marvin Igelman, President and CEO of Warp 10, said the new AdsGallery.com name reflects the growing
breadth of advertising creative uploaded by members to the site. ''Our members are displaying a multitude of
ads spanning different advertising medium, so we decided that our name should immediately demonstrate the
breadth and depth of campaigns that we expect to see from our member agencies. We are already seeing
agencies using AdsGallery.com as a showcase to promote their creative talent and capabilities to potential
customers. By delivering strongly on the needs of the agencies and creative professionals we expect they
will embrace AdsGallery.com as a golden opportunity to grow their businesses through education,
stimulation, comparison and networking.'' The former URL address will continue to be supported so that
there is no confusion in the worldwide creative community in the change over to the new site name.
Robert Aronoff, General Manager of AdsGallery.com, added that membership to AdsGallery.com is free and
agencies create and maintain their own portfolios by uploading their advertising campaigns to the site's live
media asset management system through a standard web browser. ''The power and sophistication of the
technological foundation underlying AdsGallery.com provides the industry a way to showcase one
integrated ad portfolio. We plan to lead the way in supporting all kinds of rich media in our on-line database,
including radio, print ads and television clips.''
One of the main forces behind the ongoing development of AdsGallery.com is the Advisory Council of
industry experts that has recently been formed to help guide the development of the site. Representatives
from leading advertising agencies all over North America will meet periodically to discuss how
Adsgallery.com can continue to provide relevant services and solutions to the advertising and creative
community as the challenges and opportunities of the Internet impact their methods of doing business.
