PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April, 2008) -- The Telegraph of Nashua, N.H., has chosen adQ Premium for classified web entry. The adQ system was deemed the most user friendly option by the selection committee and will generate more classified revenue on the web.

The adQ system, created by Creative Circle Advertising Solutions (CCAS), will integrate with the paper's Miles33 classified front end system.

"The user experience is really critical on the web," says Bill Ostendorf, CEO of CCAS. "We entered the software business in 2004 because we saw that newspaper vendors were letting the industry down, producing software that just didn't cut it."

The editorial content and classified section of the print edition of The Telegraph was redesigned in 2002 by Creative Circle Media Consulting (CCMC), a sister company that identified the need for new software options for media companies.

"We're thrilled to be working with the team at The Telegraph again," said Ostendorf, who is also president of CCMC. "Our redesign for them was very well received - allowing them to grow at one point while every other newspaper in New Hampshire was experiencing circulation declines - and we know their users will love adQ as well."

Creative Circle Advertising Solutions, Inc., builds best-of-breed software for media companies to create user-generated content and revenue. Products include adQ: Intelligent classifieds, which is the only classified entry system that actually helps users write an effective ad, and communityQ, the leading citizen journalism software in the United States.
