SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - Genius.com Incorporated®, the leading
on-demand provider of B2B email marketing and marketing automation solutions, today
announced the appointment of software industry veteran David Satterwhite as
EVP of Sales, Services and Business Development. Satterwhite, most
recently with newScale, will manage the continued expansion of the
company's worldwide sales, alliances and client services.

Satterwhite joins the company as Genius.com continues to set revenue
records and recently announced ongoing customer expansion and product
innovation. Fiscal Q2 2009 was Genius.com's third consecutive record
quarter in bookings with over 150 customer wins for the period ending July
30th, 2009. Genius carried on its tradition of innovation with the recent
announcements of the world's first URL shortener (GURL) specifically

service organizations is critical as we aggressively innovate and grow to
meet customer demand of new Genius solutions," said David Thompson, CEO of
Genius.com. "Satterwhite's strategic sales and business acumen will help
ensure continued customer success, expansion into untapped markets, and
leadership in the marketing automation space."

An industry veteran with 20 years of experience, Satterwhite has
established an enviable track record, vaulting high-tech companies to their
next stage of revenue growth. Most recently, as EVP of newScale, the
leading IT Service Catalog and Portfolio Management solution provider with
over 1.8 million users in production, Satterwhite increased overall sales
from under $1M per annum to market leadership, growing revenues an average
of 85 percent year over year. Previously, Satterwhite led the @Road
worldwide sales organization which achieved over $65 million in annual
sales. At NightFire software, Satterwhite led worldwide field operations,
including sales, professional services, customer support and training,
increasing company revenues from $9 million to $22 million in the first
year. At Clarify, Satterwhite enjoyed similar success, setting the stage
for its eventual acquisition by Nortel Networks. (Read David
