Experian Interactive Expands Operations in California

Experian Interactive(SM), a division of Experian, today announced it has expanded existing operations in Southern and Northern California to better accommodate its workforce and allow for continued growth.
 
Experian Interactive, a group of Internet marketing businesses including LowerMyBills.com®, PriceGrabber.com®, ClassesUSA.com® and Experian Consumer Direct, is the largest advertiser on the Internet and one of the top 15 Internet companies in the United States by revenue generated. In addition, the Experian Interactive Innovation Center, a new research and development facility located in Northern California, was recently established to create new lines of business.

"In late November 2006, Experian Interactive reported 57 percent total sales growth year over year for the first six months of the fiscal year," said Ed Ojdana, group president of Experian Interactive. "We are thrilled with our success and growth on the Internet over the past 10 years. Our recent expansion in California supports our employees by giving them more opportunity to grow our businesses and take on new initiatives as well as allows our businesses to have a presence in multiple markets."

Experian Interactive's Santa Monica facility has more than doubled its size, taking over an additional 38,000 square feet and expanding operational space to 64,500 square feet. LowerMyBills.com has been at this location since 2004, and ClassesUSA.com has opened a second office at this facility to complement its New York operations.

In California, Experian Interactive has facilities in Irvine, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and San Carlos. Experian Interactive also has operations in New York, Arkansas and London, UK, employing more than 1,500 people globally.
