LeadPoint has expanded its product offering from financial services leads to include legal services leads and cosmetic surgery leads. LeadPoint’s ongoing success culminated in the recent annual GP Bullhound Media Momentum awards where LeadPoint placed in the top 20 fastest growing digital media companies in Europe for the second year running. Since its launch LeadPoint has also made significant contributions to the fledgling UK online lead generation market. LeadPoint is one of the founder members of the IAB’s Online Lead Generation Council helping them to publish a series of white papers on online lead generation and the recent OLG Buyer’s Guide. LeadPoint provides a range of lead generation solutions for lead buyers and sellers. LeadPoint currently trades over 5,000 real-time data leads per day in over 15 lead verticals including Mortgages, Loans, Insurance, Debt Management & IVA, Legal Services and Cosmetic Surgery. Nick Chapman, LeadPoint UK Managing Director said: “We are delighted to be celebrating our fourth birthday in the UK. In just four years we have grown to become a major player in the UK online lead generation market. Our success over the last four years has only been possible due to the continued success of our customers. We still have a number of firms working with us who have been there from day one. Lead Buyers only come back and buy more leads if lead generation works for them and the phenomenal growth we have achieved so far proves that it does work. The appetite for lead generation in the UK is set to continue growing over the next few years and our cutting-edge technology puts us in a good position to continue to expand into new areas and keep growing.” Media enquiries: Justin Rees, Director of Marketing and Partnerships, LeadPoint UK Ltd, 0203 170 7728 Notes to Editors LeadPoint LeadPoint (www.leadpoint.com) was founded in 2004 by technology veterans Marc Diana (founder of LowerMyBills.com) and Per Pettersen (founder of Commission Junction).
