BUDWEISER GETS E! WILD
Budweiser partnered with E!’s Wild On series to send sweepstakes winners and their guests to three "wild" parties and mini concerts. Winners were treated to a private concert by Shaggy in The Hamptons, Sugar Ray in Las Vegas and Smashmouth in Miami.

I wanted to extend a huge thank you to you and all of the RPMC staff for all of your efforts on our Wild on Bud program in 2001.

You did a fantastic job at creating an exciting, memorable experience for our sweepstakes winners... even with some curveballs thrown your way. All of the RPMC team members were courteous, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

I've received numerous compliments from our winners, and the credit goes directly to you and your team. Thanks for helping create a first class promotion and making Wild on Bud a big success

Sincerely,
Mike Sundet
Budweiser, Product Manager

STEP IN TIME WITH SHAQ AND SWATCH
Since Shaq comes from a family of firefighters and policemen - he really wanted to do something to show support to the children of the figherfighter heroes who lost their father's lives on Sept. 11th. Swatch brought 15 kids and their moms/chaperones out to LA for a weekend they will never forget.

This is the most important thing I have been involved in because I knew how important it was to show these people a good time and hope that for one little moment, the weight that they carry on their shoulders these days was lifted. The responsibility was so huge, and to try and pull off a major publicity-driven event yet not treat our guests as if they were in a circus was such a tall order to ask of everyone, but you understood the task and you helped us pull it off and I am so pleased with the outcome.

Many thanks
Debbie Platt
Director of Special Events and Publicity
Swatch Group USA

On behalf of our client, Shaquille I would like to send an enormous thanks for allowing us to be a part of your "Swatch enriches the lives of others" weekend. We both came away thinking that we are very thankful and humbly blessed for all of you at Swatch who not only do your job, but do it well and at the same time create an opportunity for those who are less fortunate to smile in the meantime. We are also thankful that we have been able to enjoy a professional relationship with all of you that has been both rewarding and extremely fulfilling. Now, more than ever, it is a time to give thanks for all that we have, and for all the people who have touched our lives. Thank you for having touched ours and for allowing our lives to be touched by total strangers, who left us not only with a heartwarming and unforgettable memories, but more importantly left us as friends.

Happy Holidays!!

KIDS' WB! BIG PREMIERE SWEEPSTAKES
Grand prize winner Patrick Shea traveled to London with his parents to see the premiere of........HARRY POTTER and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Hi, I'm Pat and I won the Kids' WB! Harry Potter Big Premiere Sweepstakes. I got the good news on October 18, the day before my birthday and we were off to London, England just two weeks later. You probably think "Oh yeah right nobody wins those contests," and I thought so too until just recently. But now I'm living proof that people actually do win these contests.

While touring London in the big red buses, we saw Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard. That was really neat. We then saw Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament. I was really looking forward to that part. We walked around the corner and saw Westminster Abbey, which is a huge church. We drove by St. Paul's cathedral and Tower Bridge. The bus went by The London Eye, which is a huge observation Ferris wheel that takes 30 minutes to complete one circuit.

The premiere was so cool. We got a limousine ride to the Odeon Theater and walked down the red carpet. While my family and I were standing waiting for seats, author J.K. Rowling walked right by us and smiled at me. Actor Ben Stiller said "Hey guys, how's it going." I replied with a not so calm "Good, thanks." Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter, waved to us after I made a frantic scene to try to get him to notice me. English pop singer Sting walked right near us. I could have died; I was in Celebrity City.
The movie was great. It hardly strays from the plot of the book at all. I know that when it comes out here in Montana, I am going to see it with friends and point out all of the people we saw. The acting is great and the special effects are awesome. I think that my favorite part of the movie is the game of Quidditch. The movie has a lot of action and it kept me entertained for the whole two and a half-hours. Go see it, it is great!

On behalf of myself, my mom, dad, and my best friend Mike, we would like to thank the WB for a wonderful vacation and a once in a lifetime experience. Not any of us will ever forget it.

UNIVERSAL VIDEO HOLLYWOOD FANTASY
Customers who rented selected Universal Video titles at participating video stores called a specific 1-900 number and entered to Win the Ultimate Hollywood Fantasy trip courtesy of Universal Home Video

I wanted to write to you to tell you what a fantastic holiday we had in Hollywood organized by Universal and your company.
It was about July 2001 I got a call from Kate Naylor in Australia telling me that I had won this competition. She and the staff in your Sydney office were yelling and cheering and my husband says I burst into tears. I have since learned that it was a National competition in Australia as I have sighted the promos on many video sleeves, so am now even more impressed with my luck!

The Australia organizers were courteous and helpful but the person who really ‘shone’ was your staff member in LA, Valorie Beardsley. I wanted you to know what an asset she is to a company such as yours. We had a limited budget of our own and wanted a great holiday ‘mainly’ for the kids.

To close, the trip exceeded all our expectations! Thank you from all of us and I hope other Aussies have the good fortune to have RPMC and Valorie organize their itineraries.

Kind regards,
Julie Webster
