WALKER MARKETING OPENS NEW HEADQUARTERS

CONCORD, N.C., July 27, 2006—Walker Marketing, Inc. is pleased to announce it has moved into a new headquarters building at The International Business Park at Concord. This move more than triples Walker's office space and allows the firm to offer new services to clients, including mediating and hosting focus groups.

"We are fortunate to have enjoyed very rapid growth over the past two years," noted Gary Walker, president and CEO, Walker Marketing. "We made the decision to move into a new space, which better reflects the size and stature of our agency, gives us the room we need for current staff, and allows us to continue our expansion."

Walker has seen many other changes in the past year related to its growth, including hiring its first vice president, promoting several key staff members to more senior positions and adding to its account staff. The firm is currently ranked among the largest advertising and PR firms in the Charlotte area, and with the additional space and several key new accounts, Walker plans on expanding its creative and client services groups significantly over the next several months.Located off Interstate 85 at NC Highway 73, the ICC is the first of four flex buildings that will total almost 300,000 square feet at The International Business Park’s 520-acre development. The flex building is currently owned and leased out by investment company, Wildwood Construction LLC. The initial building was completed in 2004, and is expected to house as many as 10 businesses. Units range in size from 5,000 to 50,000 square feet.

The new building, located at 805 Trade St. NW in Concord, NC, was designed by BJW Architecture.

We are thrilled with all aspects of our new building, from its unique design and enhanced functionality to its great location just off I-85 and surrounded by many other high-profile companies.

An official open house is planned for Mid-September.
