Two Targa Media Clients Honored as EMERGING ELITE at Utah 100 Awards

SALT LAKE CITY, November 7, 2008. With 14 years of choosing Utah's best and brightest business prospects, the Utah 100 Awards, sponsored by MountainWest Capital Network, honored two Targa Media clients with their prestigious "Emerging Elite" award. Alianza Inc., a hosted voice platform, enables service providers to quickly add a feature-rich voice offering to their broadband service. And Allegiance Inc., offering a suite of web and phone-based solutions joined with education and best practices consulting, allows companies to measure and manage customer and employee engagement across the enterprise.

"The Utah 100 award has become a prestigious recognition for our winners, and has significant meaning to those who receive it. These awards will signify to the Utah business community, as well as those outside our state, that Utah continues to be a great place to do business," comments Steve Stauffer, Chairman of this year's Utah 100 Program.

In a special category created in 2001 specifically to highlight businesses who do not meet the 5 year history requirement for the Utah 100 awards, but whose profile is so impressive as to receive recognition, Alianza and Allegiance were honored among only 11 other businesses who share the qualifications of the Emerging Elite. With the help of Targa Media's skilled marketing efforts in web design and print media, these two companies were recognized by Governor Huntsman in conjunction with Utah's most notable and highest grossing companies for their progression.

"We are thrilled to be recognized as a company with a successful strategy and promising future. Targa Media has helped us to communicate our offering clearly and reach a wide audience.," says Vice President of Marketing for Alianza, Maile Keone. "Alianza is expanding globally as we work with a growing number of WiMAX service providers to offer quality voice services to residential and small business customers," she continues.

"When you focus on getting results and pleasing the client, it's a surefire way to gain momentum and market-share as the word spreads. We're just delighted that word has spread to the Utah 100 Awards, and that we were granted the reputable 'Emerging Elite' award," says Chris Cottle, Vice President of Corporate Marketing for Allegiance, who has worked with Targa Media for over 5 years.

President of Targa Media, Jason Steed remarked, "We are proud to be associated with companies that are on the go and constantly moving forward. Our aim is to provide superior marketing services to keep them on that path, which often means turning around requests in under 2 hours if necessary, or taking the extra time needed to clearly identify their target audience."
