Jambo Names Pay Per Call Expert to Post of Vice President, Business Development; Performance Marketing Veteran Richard Rosen Joins Blue Chip Management Team at Growing Provider

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Nov. 15, 2005 -- Jambo (www.jambo.com), the leading provider of solutions that effectively connect people and businesses from the Internet to the phone, today announced the appointment of industry veteran Richard Rosen to the new post of Vice President, Business Development.


With some 10 years in online marketing, Rosen brings to Jambo extensive experience working with leading technology companies. A frequent industry speaker on pay-per-call, he is an expert on local media and search. As Vice President of Business Development at CallSource, Rosen was responsible for managing call measurement and pay-per-call services for a host of top publishers, ad agencies and high volume enterprises.

Rosen previously served as Director of Business Development at Homestore, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOMS) and VP of Business Development at FirstLook, a venture-funded leader in pay-for-performance marketing. He gained significant technical experience as co-founder of OpenSpace, a Seattle-based Internet infrastructure provider. Rosen also held management positions at Time Warner and Playboy Enterprises. He received a BA and an MBA from George Washington University.

"Jambo is poised to take advantage of significant growth in this space, and we welcome Richard's proven leadership in helping us foster that growth," said John Melideo, CEO, Jambo. "Richard will be instrumental in communicating our value proposition to various market segments -- the ability to turn potential sales into actual sales by delivering the value that lead generators and merchants each require."

"Jambo recognizes that the click world is not the call world," Rosen said. "Spec-based solutions simply don't cut it in a demanding, pay-for-performance environment. Until now, no one had developed a model that truly works, or that helps local businesses understand the value of pay-per-call leads. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to take that message to the market."
