*Summary:*
*How iContact Delivers WOW!*

With an 81 percent growth rate in 2009 and an increase in headcount from 130
to 190, iContact has been an exception in a recessionary climate.  Not bad
for a company which started in July 2003.

Chuck Hester, Communications Director at iContact, will talk about how the
Durham-based Email Marketing Software firm has been able to weather the
storm and bring WOW! to its customer base of 60,000.

He'll also talk about the company's 4-1s Program - a Corporate Social
Responsibility initiative that provided more than $100,000 to local,
national and international non-profits in 2009, and is encouraging iContact
employees to give back by providing up to 2.5 paid work days a year for
volunteer efforts.

With over 50,000 customers, iContact is a leading on-demand email marketing
service.  iContact allows organizations of all sizes to easily create, send,
and track email newsletters, RSS feeds, surveys, and autoresponders.

Market leaders like AT&T, Vonage, Symantec, International Paper, ReMax,
Centex Homes, and Viacom use iContact to build stronger relationships with
their customers and prospects at a fraction of the cost of traditional
marketing methods.


*Speaker Bio:*
Chuck Hester is Communications Director at iContact, the industry-leading
web-based emarketing communications software.  Chuck has over 25 years
experience in public relations, marketing and branding, with stints as an
in-house marketing director, and public relations director for two marketing
agencies.

Chuck has combined his social media and media relations skills to secure
