Jivox Reports Rapid Growth as More Local Advertisers Go Online with Video

San Mateo, California (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- Jivox (http://www.jivox.com/) today announced growing momentum with small advertisers seeking to reach customers in specific localities, including new customers such as Soren Legal, NewLifestyleDiet, FitFoodRX, Laserview, 911 Appliance and Florida Transmission.

Within 24 hours of launching the ads, Soren Legal noted an uptick in inbound leads and also saw an increase in its page rank on Google. According to Soren's president Mike Brown: "The best thing about Jivox is that I know my video ad is being viewed by the right audience. Jivox is now a core component of our marketing program because it is so easy to use and produces great results."
