Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) February 5, 2007 -- TruePresence, a national Internet marketing firm, continues to grow by attracting ambitious and entrepreneurial franchise owners. The firm announced today that it has awarded franchises 10 and 11 to veteran Internet marketing expert Mike Sweeney, with a new office in Northern Virginia, and experienced radio sales executive Larry Leibowitz, who has opened for business in Boca Raton, Fla.

We have ambitious growth plans in 2007 and we are excited to get the year off to a great start by welcoming Mike and Larry to the team.

Sweeney's new office is located in Reston, Va. -- in the hub of the Northern Virginia technology corridor -- while Leibowitz's Boca Raton location provides access to the dynamic South Florida market. TruePresence was created specifically to meet the growing business demand for effective and measurable Internet marketing programs to maximize return on investment. Key services include web design and development, search engine marketing, email marketing, online advertising, and hosting.

TruePresence franchisees are a select group of experienced marketing and sales professionals. Each is carefully trained and continually educated to offer clients the most powerful and effective solutions. As a result, clients receive the personal attention of a local expert, backed by the creative talent of a sophisticated national agency.

"The Northern Virginia and South Florida markets are both full of growth and opportunity and we feel strongly that Mike and Larry are positioned for success," said TruePresence President Michael Teitelbaum. "We have ambitious growth plans in 2007 and we are excited to get the year off to a great start by welcoming Mike and Larry to the team."

Sweeney brings extensive Internet marketing experience to his new role, having most recently served as Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Angel.com, a subsidiary of MicroStrategy, one of the Washington, D.C. region's largest software companies. Sweeney's work in ecommerce and lead generation marketing contributed to a better than 500 percent increase in revenue for Angel.com. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and also has experience with several Internet start-up companies.

Leibowitz brings over two decades of marketing, advertising, and management expertise to TruePresence, an expertise he cultivated working in the nation's top radio advertising sales markets, including New York, Miami, and San Francisco. He has helped hundreds of companies through the years, including Coca-Cola, Budweiser, McDonalds, American Airlines, and Best Buy, developing excellent business relationships by using marketing best practices to drive client revenues.
