SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 17, 2009) - Getfugu, Inc.

into a strategic partnership with Interpublic's (IPG) Emerging Media
Lab, a leading center for consumer research, to give the Lab's
popular brands and agency partners exclusive, first-mover rights to

IPG's Emerging Media Lab, a Los Angeles-based facility that keeps top
brands ahead of the latest tech trends that are shaping consumer
behavior, will give its clients and agencies the first opportunity to
scout Getfugu's mobile technology by conducting a series of focus
groups, testing the products and compiling reviews of Getfugu's

company's launch this fall. Getfugu is in consideration to be part of
Greenhaus, the Mediabrands program launched in April.

Getfugu's new mobile search tool enables consumers to experience the
Internet on cellular phones in an entirely new way by offering four
unique services including:

See It, vision recognition (ARL)
Say It, voice recognition (VRL)
Find It, location recognition (GRL)

launch this fall. The Lab's top brands will now have access to the
hottest mobile technology at a real life, interactive facility and we
are looking forward to the feedback on the product and its unique
tools."

"Getfugu's mobile search technology will add a dynamic and unique
asset to our Mobile Immersion Center here at the Lab. Getfugu brings
the consumer experience and valuable technology that enables
purchasing goods and services on a mobile device into an environment
that will give our agencies and their brands premium access to this
innovative technology. It gives us the opportunity to work with an
outstanding platform supported by an actionable business model," said
