VANCOUVER, BC, October 3, 2006 - Marqui, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand marketing software, and Venue Creative, an agency specializing in online and print advertising and design, jointly announced today that Venue has successfully designed and launched five customer sites using the Marqui Marketing Automation Suite: Malachite Management, DomaniCell Cord Blood Banking, DomaniCell Adult Stem Cell Banking, the International Society of Cellular Therapy, and StemSoft Software.

“Venue Creative has implemented many web solutions in the past. However, today’s marketing professionals are more sophisticated than ever before.

Venue Creative crafts compelling digital and print experiences for commerce, content, collaboration and business process improvement. The agency is a Marqui Certified Partner and uses Marqui’s on-demand platform to help its clients rapidly create, deploy, and manage interactive web, intranet, and extranet sites.
