Evanston, IL – October 19, 2006
Leapfrog Online, a leader in online direct marketing, was ranked 138 on Deloitte's 2006 Technology Fast 500 list of fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences firms in North America. The prestigious industry list measures percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001-2005. Leapfrog Online is the fastest growing company in the Chicago area overall to be ranked by Deloitte.
Earlier this year, Leapfrog Online was ranked 13th on Advertising Age's list of Top Interactive Agencies, which measures U.S. interactive revenue. The Fast 500 ranking establishes Leapfrog Online as the fastest growing company appearing on both lists - underscoring both scale and rate of growth for the eleven year old company.
We're honored to be recognized by Deloitte as one of the fastest growing firms in the country
, said Dave Husain, Leapfrog Online CEO and Co-Founder. The speed of growth, combined with the scale of our organization, is due to the constant innovation and hard work of our people and the strong client relationships we have been able to build with Fortune 500 marketers.

said Tony Kern, deputy managing principal of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. Leapfrog Online's growth is particularly impressive, and we applaud their efforts, ingenuity and teamwork in growing at such a fast rate.
