February 8, 2010 (Pleasant Ridge, MI) – ePrize, the world leader of interactive promotions, announced today the appointment of Matt Wise as chief executive officer, effective March 1.
Wise has served as CEO of Q Interactive since 2006, transforming the company from its origins as a coupon and savings site into a multi-channel marketing services company that is widely regarded as a leader in the lead-generation and e-mail marketing fields.

Current CEO and Founder Josh Linkner will remain with the company on a full-time basis in the role of chairman and will focus his energies on innovation and building client relationships. “ePrize is fortunate to gain the dynamic and proven leadership of Matt Wise,” Linkner said. “This addition to our team will help ePrize continue its market dominance throughout the next leg of our journey,” said Linkner.
