| MNM/PL001 |  ACT AGAINST BULLYING: CYBERKIND CAMPAIGN CyberKind is a campaign by Act Against Bullying, the high profile UK charity helping parents and children deal with school bullying. With the increase in young people using social networking sites on a daily basis and as their major source of communication, the aim of this new initiative is to counteract and reverse the growing trend of cyber bullying - on the increase and now responsible for many teen suicides - by making a conscious effort to reward 'niceness on the net'. It is motivated by the charity's belief that the active promotion of good internet manners may significantly reduce the misery that is suffered by so many children, sometimes over meaningless comments and thoughtless behaviour. It may even save lives. They are looking for a major sponsor for the campaign to invest around £10,000. This would buy the company their logo on the charity's website, and on all printed and e-mailed public relations material connected with this particular campaign, which they expect to get extensive media coverage. In addition, the sponsor's logo will be included in the campaign posters which have been designed by book illustrator Katy Dynes and they would receive verbal acknowledgement and tickets to the launch party, which is to be held at the House of Lords on November 11th, as well as public relations opportunities at a public event to be held in central London on the charity's Cool to be Kind Day on November 18th, and any other 'spin offs', such as panel debate involvement, etc. on this subject. Act Against Bullying Founder Director Louise Burfitt-Dons is a well known figure in the humanitarian campaigning field and regularly appears on national TV and radio programmes. As a motivational speaker, the ethos of the organisation she founded is a combination of the inspirational and practical and there is a wealth of information and advice for young people as well as parents and social workers on the website at www.actagainstbullying.org (link below). She writes extensively for the media on bullying issues, has led the field in identifying modern issues such as ECD and tribalism and has been a speaker at national conferences and seminars. Act Against Bullying was shortlisted for the Guardian Charity Award 2008. Act Against Bullying is a 'celebrity favourite' and has held many prestigious and star-studded events. For example, currently popular Britain's Got Talent finalists Strike are raising the profile of AAB as they are touring schools. The charity is active on YouTube and Twitter and has a growing following of fans worldwide who enjoy the honest apolitical approach to this complex social problem, as well as their catchy campaigns such as Cool to be Kind Day. They are also the UK representative of the World Kindness Movement. Contact: Louise Burfitt-Dons, Director. Address: 68 Duke Road, London W4 2DE. Tel.: 0845 230 2560. Fax: 0208 995 9500.

It has around 3,000 teams participating weekly (each team can have up to nine in their squad). This means up to 27,000 players playing in its leagues nationwide each week. 91% of these are males aged between 18 and 39. Targeted marketing can be achieved through a variety of sponsorship opportunities. No other small sided leagues operator has Leisure Leagues' reach. It operates within over 150 partner sports facilities across the UK, many being the prime sports facility in the area. Its dedicated media team ensures local media coverage nationwide, with access to approximately 19 million readers weekly. The prolific work they carry out has contributed to positioning Leisure Leagues high up the Google rankings (boasting a position fourth worldwide on just the word 'leisure') - this could enable potential sponsors to 'piggy-back' their way up the Google rankings through sponsorship of its leagues and their associated inclusion in all press releases. The Leisure Leagues website receives around 100,000 'sticky' hits every month, and growing ... It supplies - or gives free to new teams - approximately 10,000 football kits annually; these could feature a sponsor company's logo. The sponsor's logo could also feature on every one of the 8,000 soccer balls Leisure Leagues gets through each year. Every year it awards around 15,000 trophies - the sponsor's company logo could be prominently embossed on the front of each one. Leisure Leagues distributes up to 3,000 full colour brochures, produced in-house, containing league information and editorial content. Sponsorship of this would see the sponsor's message reach thousands of people weekly and could be used for coupon or web offer campaigns, etc. Other sponsorship opportunities include referee's clothing, vehicle livery, and the National Tournament. "All of these opportunities offer sponsors excellent ROI with a great opportunity to reach a highly desirable database of gender and age specific clients. Leisure Leagues is the only national small-sided league provider which is committed to putting all of its surplus profits towards charitable causes such as Cancer Research and the Dog's Trust. We are based in the Midlands and would be happy to meet with potential sponsors to discuss the possibilities. For an initial informal chat, please contact Andy Taylor, Business Development Manager".

| MNM/PL009 |  ONLINE RETAIL AWARDS The Online Retail Awards are unique and non-partisan, promoted through a top-level domain name, independent of any retailer or media owner, designer or developer. They are global in scope and recognise the huge shift in public attitudes and habits, away from Main Street, the Mall and the High Street, towards online shopping. The clearly stated aim of the Awards is to seek out fine examples of excellent website experiences and effectiveness, great design, best practice and customer service and to reward them publicly, to the benefit of both the cited online retailers and their customers. The Awards comprise twenty-three retail sector category awards, four overall achievement awards and a single top accolade, named the Prix d'Or. Categories are defined by industry sector, so food retailers compete with other food retailers; and airlines' sites with other transport operators' sites. The Online Retail Awards are open to any traditional retailer with an online presence, online-only retailers or their digital agencies, irrespective of size of operation, provided that the website and online activity took place during the previous calendar year. Full details of entry criteria and fees are on the Awards website at www.onlineretailawards.com. Entries for the 2010 Awards will close on February 28th and retailers and agencies were able to upload entries from July 1st, 2009 to the Awards' simple, functional website. There's a useful guide to what is needed to enter on the "How to Enter" page of the website. The Online Retail Awards were actively promoted (visit the Press Release page on the website for an example of the advertising) and further support for the Awards is sought from leading search engines, online payment and fulfilment services, ISPs, supply chain companies and optimization and web marketing organizations for 2010.

| MNM/0001 | ANGUS 'EL FLACO' ON INVINCIBLE INTERNET RADIO Angus 'El Flaco' is a DJ on a radio show which is broadcast on the internet every week. The show goes out live every Sunday at 9pm (GMT-UK) and lasts for two hours. It uses a webcam and so becomes more of a TV show. The music played on Angus' show, which is called Blast From The Past, is everything from the past - from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, pop, dance, rock, R&B, reggae and more. The show's audience (as have made themselves known!) is quite a mixture of people, from the ages of sixteen up to sixty-two. A Facebook group, set up for the show a few weeks ago, currently stands at 136 members. The show has had listeners in Slovakia, Denmark, America and has even had international callers entering the competitions while on air. Angus also recently interviewed guests on the show, including Garry Vaux, an author of a book due for release this August, called Legends Of Kids TV. He also has more interviews in the pipeline. Angus is not paid for the show - in fact, he has to pay subs. for use of the studio. He also pays for the prizes for the competition out of his own pocket. He has also, in the past, paid for advertising on Facebook which appears on the little box on the right of Facebook users' home pages. Usually, due to costs, he runs the advert on the day of broadcast only. "I am looking for a sponsor who would be able to cover my expenses, ie. subs., competition prizes, advertising. In return, your company/brand will get exposure on my show by way of logos (put up in the studio in eyeview of the webcam); and also via jingles which I have professionally made which can rebrand the show as, for example, "Blast From The Past sponsored by (company/brand name)". You can watch past shows by going to www.invincibleradio.com and scrolling back through past shows (Blast From the Past - DJ Angus 'El Flaco').

| MNM/0015 | GOSPEL FRONTIERS LTD. Gospel Frontiers is a company committed to supporting and promoting Christian and gospel music in the UK. The company actively supports upcoming Christian and gospel singers, singer/songwriters, groups and choirs, and increased sponsorship will assist in the ability of Gospel Frontiers to have a greater effect with these. Gospel Frontiers currently manages Beatrice Muniu, who is an active performer at numerous events and concerts throughout the year. The company has available for sponsorship a number of artists who are already well known, in addition to Beatrice Muniu. Gospel Frontiers also hosts a number of websites and is also looking for sponsorship for all or any of these. Generally this would be on an annual basis, reviewed at each year end. The company provides promotion of events and the opportunity for various companies to advertise at one or numerous events through tickets, programmes and advertising leaflets and posters. Gospel and Christian music is an emerging market in the UK - and this will be growing. Coupled with a strongly-focussed web presence, already a growing source of global and national trade and advertising, Gospel Frontiers is confident that, in conjunction with those that it represents, it can be a benefit to the sponsor's company and its advertising requirements.

On average legacies are worth £16,000, and as legacies are pledged, the sponsor can be associated with a large and growing sum raised.
