Toluna Opens Office in Spain

LONDON, August 11, 2010--     Toluna plc (LSE: TOL), the world's leading online panel and survey
technology provider, announced its expansion today in Europe with the opening
of a new office in Madrid, Spain.

    The new office further leverages Toluna's ability to offer local
sales and support services to its fast growing base of customers and
prospects in Spain. Carlos Hidalgo de Morillo Jiménez who recently
joined Toluna's South European Sales team as Account Director will
head up the office in Madrid. Carlos brings a unique and comprehensive
understanding of the industry, having previously worked as a Project Director
for Communications Agency, ASAP Worldwide and as a Consultant and Business
Developer at The Nielsen Company in Spain. The opening of the Spanish office
is yet another signal of Toluna's continued growth, with the company now able
to support clients with local teams in Spain, France, Germany, UK,
Netherlands, Australia, Japan and the US.

    "This is a natural move for Toluna and one that is in line with our
company strategy. We are proud to now have an office in Spain - to serve the
growing demands of the Spanish region. The opening of the Spanish office is
another step toward providing strong sales and operational support at a local
level," said Frederic-Charles Petit, CEO of Toluna. Toluna enjoys a unique
position in the panel vendor market, with its community model being rolled
out across all of its panels. The community model is identified instantly by
a quick glance at the site Toluna.com. Panel members have access to
discussion forums, product tests, opinion ratings, as well as product
comparison and poll areas.
