Customized Solution Enables Customers to Marry Print and Broadcast Campaigns on the Internet
New York, NY, January 4, 2001 -- On2.com Inc.

(NASD: TRFX), a database marketing and management company, today announced that they have entered into a joint agreement to provide customers with a technology solution for targeted and integrated advertising and promotional campaigns.
The new solution, which combines On2's TV-quality video with Traffix's vast consumer database, will be marketed to potential customers immediately. 'By collaborating with Traffix, our two companies will be able to create a highly targeted and effective solution that is much needed in the world of online marketing,' said Douglas A.

As part of the agreement, On2 will encode video advertisements for insertion into an electronic message. Traffix will then draw from their permission-based database, which consists of millions of unique names and e-mail addresses, to deliver the message to a targeted consumer. In addition, On2 and Traffix will provide customers with the opportunity to run their campaigns on Traffix's leading gaming Web site, GroupLotto.com.
