Includes Retooled Website and Promotional Materials COLUMBUS, Ohio – May 1, 2008 – Stonefly Communications Group, an inVentiv Health company (NASDAQ:VTIV) and a patient-focused, purpose-driven healthcare advertising agency, recently launched a new promotional campaign that centers on the business-building insights developed by the agency. "The new campaign reflects how insight and execution can lead to defying the odds for our clients' brands," said John Racik, president and CEO of Stonefly Communications Group. "Stonefly has spent the past year identifying valuable insights about our clients' brands that have helped them achieve success in the marketplace. Our agency has focused on digging deeper into the minds of patients, physicians and caregivers to uncover the unique connection to our clients' brands." This very message is illustrated in the agency's new direct mail campaign, which uses images of seemingly unachievable feats, such as walking barefoot on a bed of nails or breaking a concrete block with a hand, to demonstrate how insights can make the impossible become possible. The mailer copy goes on to share insights about the exact amount of pressure needed to prevent injury or puncture when walking on nails or the proper technique for shattering concrete blocks without causing damage to one's hand. "For our clients, it can sometimes be a daunting task to find ways to make their brand stand apart from the pack," said Jim Johnson, EVP, Executive Creative Director of Stonefly. But we've found that even the most intimidating marketing challenges can be overcome when you fully understand your customer and deliver breakthrough creative based on that understanding. We have a remarkable record of growing our clients' brands as a direct result of the insights we've discovered." In addition to the direct mail campaign, Stonefly will be rolling out new print ads and sales materials, as well as launching an enhanced website at www.stoneflygroup.com that includes direct–response tools and new case studies. The retooled site also will serve as a vehicle to communicate with clients.
