LBI INTERNATIONAL : ICONNICHOLSON NAMED A LEADING INTERACTIVE MARKETING AGENCY BY INDEPENDENT RESEARCH FIRM

PRESS RELEASE
Stockholm/Amsterdam, 2 September 2009

Premier Digital Design and Marketing Agency Honored for Web Design
Capabilities

LBi IconNicholson (http://iconnicholson.com/), the premier NYC
digital design and marketing agency known for creative innovation,
was ranked as a market leader by independent research firm Forrester
Research, Inc. in its report titled "The Forrester Wave(TM):
Interactive Marketing Agencies - Web Design Capabilities, Q2 2009."
This benchmark report invited a select group of 18 U.S. agencies to
participate and assessed their services against evaluation criteria
ranging from the firms' research and design methodologies to their
measurement practices and client satisfaction results. LBi
IconNicholson's parent company, LBi International, was also cited for
its strong performance in Forrester's 2007 report titled "The
Forrester Wave(tm): European Interactive Agencies - Web Design
Capabilities, Q4 2007".

Describing the 18 agencies in the report as giants in a market with
literally hundreds of players, Forrester notes that demand for
digital services continues to be strong as clients tap the agencies
for their "top-notch creative resources that are hard to attract and
retain in-house, an infusion of outside ideas and technology skills,
and the scale to develop and maintain today's biggest Web sites."

"Forrester is the gold standard for clients seeking advice on how to
choose the right agency," noted Joseph Olewitz, SVP Client Relations
of LBi IconNicholson. "To be ranked as a leader is an honor for us
and Forrester's diligent review methodology offers sophisticated and
objective guidance as companies undertake the difficult task of
choosing a digital partner."

"The digital agency sector is strong, even in this challenging
economy, because our clients are searching for more effective ways to
capitalize on the newest digital techniques in meeting their own
customers' needs," said Olewitz. "Our biggest and most rewarding
challenges occur when we can offer a customized solution set from our
basket of full-service offerings, thus continuing to deliver
innovative results for our clients."

Forrester noted that LBi IconNicholson's overall score was helped by
"A strong persona, rigorous application of its personas to guide
design work, and a user-focused design process." LBi IconNicholson is
the New York headquarters for LBi International AB Group, which
Forrester described in LBi IconNicholson's profile as also having "an
impressive performance in our European evaluation of interactive
agencies' Web design capabilities."
