The original Internet articles that correspond to the screen-captured copies attached herein can be easily located using Google or any other search engine; we’ve simply included copies for your reference/convenience. More detailed information about any of these websites is available at www.alexa.com should you be interested in demographics, page views, etc. If you have not done so already, we highly recommend that you sign up for Google Search so that you will receive these links as they hit the Internet.

A DVD of broadcast media will be sent to you under separate cover, along with audio files of any and all radio interviews.

Carpe Diem,

A multi-city Satellite Media Tour reaching over 3 million viewers was produced and broadcast on Wednesday, February 23. This SMT was sponsored by StemSational, Body Wrap and bluCigs. Being represented visually in the SMT gift bag display was an opt-in program and required providing 30+ additional gift items for station giveaways. Only the three sponsors who underwrote the cost of the SMT were guaranteed verbal mentions (in live interviews); the SMT promotion was added value (in terms of both verbal mentions as well as visual representation) for all other participants. Distinctive Assets had no control over the final content of taped/edited segments.

A reach report related to the SMT is provided on the following page. In addition to the outlets listed herein, many of the stations also posted the video content on their websites and/or facebook pages which was in turn picked up by various blogs, news outlets, video libraries, celebrity fan pages, etc.

The Yahoo News video included in this article is an interview with Lash Fary (conducted in November 2010) about celebrity gifting and includes verbal mentions for Premier Tours, Winvian Luxury Hotel, LIFE as well as visuals for many past and present clients. This video also appeared in several other Yahoo News feeds/articles. This article was reposted to dozens of other celebrity-related blogs and newsfeeds.

Distinctive Assets pursues all forms of media coverage before, during and after our events. However, we have no editorial control over what products are chosen for any particular story. Though we facilitate introductions, the specific results are in the hands of the journalists and segment producers themselves. Choosing one product over another is based on many factors, none of which are determined by Distinctive Assets.

Please remember that the “Everybody Wins” promotion is a celebrity placement opportunity only; you are not hiring us as a full-service PR company. Though we pride ourselves on being an effective additional PR resource for you, the best results can be achieved when your Marketing Department uses the foundation we have laid and the momentum we have created to push your brand to the next level.

We look forward to working with you in the near future. Many of our long-term partners have found that multi-show participation increases their odds of receiving press attention. If you have any questions on how to utilize this experience in the future promotion of your product or for an upcoming calendar of events, please contact your account representative.
