Recognized for game-changing strategies in advertising, marketing, and promotion

LOS ANGELES, CA January 22, 2008 – Jacked, Inc.™ (www.jacked.com), developer of a new Webtop publishing platform that contextually synchronizes the Internet with live television, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnMedia 100 Winners. Inclusion in the OnMedia 100 signifies major developments in the creation of marketing tools, services, venues, and advertising, branding, and public relation campaigns. Jacked, Inc. was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and other industry experts spanning the globe, based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Jacked, Inc. and the OnMedia 100 Top Private Companies will be honored at the OnMedia conference scheduled to occur on January 28-30, 2008 at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City. This two-and-a-half day executive event will feature technology CEO’s from Silicon Valley leading presentations and high-level debates with the global advertising and media establishment, about disrupting user behavior and creating new opportunities in the marketing, branding, advertising, and public relations industries.

Fifty of the top CEO’s from the OnMedia 100 will present their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in a “CEO Showcase.”

“The OnMedia 100 winners have excelled in key strategic areas in the advertising, marketing, public relations, and promotion industry,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate them for their success in introducing new tools, services, and venues for marketers to have at their fingertips and for use to take their business to the next level in innovation.”

The OnMedia 100 was selected from over hundreds of companies, nominated by a panel of industry experts in the online ad service, technology, community platform, mobile advertising, marketing, and Web analytic sectors from around the world.

The Jacked TVTop™ leverages the company’s multi-patent discovery and publishing technology to enable the viewer controlled “second screen” to become a real time aggregator and interactive interface to relevant content. Jacked SearchCasting™ technology dynamically publishes relevant content to a variety of personalizable widgets that consumers can add, delete, and resize to their webtop dashboard. The widgets populate the Jacked TVTop™, which is browser-based, requires no downloading of software and is free to the consumer. The company, which secured $6.5 million in venture funding earlier this year, launched its initial product line, the SportsTop Beta, this fall which supports all NFL, NCAA Football, NBA, and NCAA Basketball games.

“We know that Always On has its finger on the pulse of the digital media revolution and are honored to be recognized as a leader in this emerging market,” said Bryan Biniak, CEO of Jacked. “We look forward to finally bringing the “network” to television, and wiring the dumb box for an evolved audience that demands more than theater.”
