SEATTLE, WA, Jul 25, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Impart Media Group, Inc.
(OTCBB: IMMG), a global provider of end-to-end information networks,

Mr. Chris Modd, General Manager of the Lake View Hotel, stated, "I love the
'Concierge' and would like to help Impart install units in every hotel and
tourism bureau in my state and across the country. 'Concierge' immediately draws
attention and communicates very effectively with my hotel guests. 'Concierge' is
professionally matched to my hotel's decor, wonderfully easy for us to use,
visually stunning, and provides an interactive experience that is both intuitive
and informative."
According to Luis Serra, Impart's Account Manager for 'Concierge,' "Chris
challenged us for a custom unique design for both the display packaging and
mount. The result is an 'Ethan Allan' style, easy hang, cherry wood enclosure --
complementary to the plush Lake View hotel environment -- with a high tech look
& feel and dynamic screen messaging."
Robert Grawet, Global Director of Digital Media for Impart, added, "Our
'Concierge' introduces an entirely new concept in the world of interactive
digital signage: a complete, pre-packaged solution that is easy to understand,
with simple configuration options for the equipment layout and the creation of
relevant and localized content, as well as a very fast turnaround for
installation. This product is hot... and expect a major announcement soon on our
next project deployment."
Advanced Method's Devon Imamura, representing the team lead developer and
marketing partner company with Impart on 'Concierge,' stated, "The 'Concierge'
is built to support the efforts of the hotel in creating a memorable guest
experience. This is a win-win situation because guests can now get the
information they need right at their fingertips and the hotel can generate
revenue simultaneously."
'Concierge' is a new interactive touch screen kiosk product, which is tailored
to a hotel's specific needs, with a variety of tools and features.
The functional benefits built within 'Concierge' include:
-- Up-to-date meeting and event schedules with directional maps.
-- Hotel amenities and restaurant menus.
-- Local guide with third party ad space.

updates to the kiosk, via an online content management system. The 'Concierge'
product line offers a complete turnkey solution, including all of the equipment,
network backend, and 24/7 support.
