TatAD.com Brands Human Billboards LIVE at SKYBAR
Vancouver Entrepreneurs Give advertising a whole new
“SKIN DEEP” meaning

Vancouver, BC, May 8th, 2005: TatAD.com the World’s first body billboard advertising community will be hosting Vancouver’s Hottest Advertising Event at SkyBar in Vancouver, Thursday, May 26th.

The event titled “SKIN DEEP” at SkyBar is giving advertising a whole new meaning! TatAD.com will be branding some of its members with a variety of corporate tattoos. Other companies will be applying temporary tattoos to participate in the high energy and excitement that the event has to offer.

“Essentially a TatAD is your brand permanently tattooed onto an enthusiastic member of your target audience. Everywhere they go and in everything they do, they are displaying your logo and talking about your brand to every single person they encounter." says Darren Little, CEO of TatAD.com.

Since TatAD’s launch, on Dec 11th, 2004, the company now has a database of over 1450 individuals that have said YES to the concept of corporate tattoos and human billboards. Mark Chadwick, President of www.tatad.com says, “Believe it or not!”

TatAD.com is a cutting edge marketing website with a community of members who are willing to promote companies they are fond of by tattooing the company’s logo on their bodies. They are committed to showing or talking about the logo and the company to general or targeted people in order to create word of mouth advertising regarding the company they have been tattooed by.

“In our initial test marketing phase, TatAD’s have been met with an overwhelming positive response from both the consumers and the corporate market”, said Chadwick, “We are proud to say that the companies that have purchased this media space on our members have been extremely pleased with the results”.

Suzuki was one of the first brand names to get on board with TatAD. Desi Evans General Manager for Orca Bay Suzuki stated, “The results from the TatAD have been nothing short of phenomenal! This has to be the best value for a “media-buy” that we’ve ever come across. In fact, we’ve liked the idea so much that we have showcased TatAD and their services to 17 other major companies at a special Suzuki Demo Days event in BC, Canada on April 30th, 2005”.

Kody Love, the TatAD.com member that wears the Suzuki brand on his wrist had a lifetime dreamed fulfilled, when he became a tradeshow representative for the Suzuki brand. “I love Suzuki, so much, that I would have done the TatAD for free!” claims Love, who drives a Suzuki car, a Suzuki motorcycle and 2 Suzuki ATV vehicles.

Another TatAD client, AbsolutePoker.com, branded Cole Harris as the world’s first human billboard for a Poker company, on March 3, 2005. Three weeks later, Harris went on to win the poker championship at Harrah’s Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. His picture, with the TatAD of the AbsolutePoker.com logo will hang permanently in the hotel lobby of the casino.

“It’s all about matching the right person, with the right company,” says Chadwick, “Each member provides us with extensive demographic and psychographic profiles on themselves, in addition to pictures. We send out the corporate logos to our entire database of members and from the responses that come back, the members have to sell the corporation on why they are the best person to become a TatAD promoter. It almost becomes like a contest. The final decision is made by the Corporation”. In its initial test marketing stages, TatAD.com has completed TatAD’s for AbsolutePoker.com, Orca Bay Suzuki, GoldenPalace.com, Shocker Clothing, and Thomas Lynch Fashions. TatAd members have been paid between $500 and merchandise, up to as high as $3000.
Chadwick, 28, is partnered with Darren Little 40, who has an extensive background in the marketing and advertising industry. “When it comes to marketing and advertising, you just know a good thing when you see it” says Little, who claims that TatAD is breaking new grounds in a totally new category of “Guerilla marketing”: Human Billboard Advertising.

TatAD has just entered into a joint venture partnership with RockTheVote.ca, who has relationships with numerous Hollywood celebrities and internationally known musicians. In addition, TatAd has signed a 5 year “branding” contract with Thell Torrence Enterprises known for creating boxing legends. Torrence himself is currently listed in the Boxing Hall Of Fame.

“All you have to do is fill out a lifestyle survey”, says Chadwick, “identify the area of your body that you are willing to have branded, how much you are willing to get paid and let us do the rest!”

The TatAD event will be filmed for TatAD TV as well as a number of other media organizations. Companies that will be branding TatAD members at the event will include Suddenimpactclothing.com, TheCabins.ca, Soulular.com, in addition to numerous TatAD members being branded with the TatAD.com logo.

A high energy event needs high energy entertainment, so featured that evening will be Over The Influence and Bogueart Entertainment bringing synchronized dance troops, music and mixes typically seen only in New York and Los Angeles.

Advertising packages range from $1500 to $7500. For event details, visit www.tatad.com/party . Corporations that are interested in being part of this media frenzy should contact TatAD.com at 1-604-628-7701.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2004--Want to make some big cash from some of your favorite Companies? Come to www.TatAD.com and get tattooed with your favorite logo or product name. Never mind newspapers magazines, internet, television or billboards, how about body branding?

TatAD.com allows people from all walks of life to register free of charge to potentially become, the first ever, walking billboards. TatAD matches willing participants with corporate sponsors, who can identify each participant's demographic and psychographic sector to match their target market.

"The idea came up when I saw a guy from South Carolina auction off the back of his head on eBay for $7000 to an Internet service provider, CI Hosting", said Mark Chadwick, President of The TatAD Marketing Group Ltd. "Since then, that Company has reported 800 new signups directly related to their walking billboard, a cost of only $9 for each new account. That's serious business!"

TatAD.com has been online for just over 40 days and has over 500 members willing to be tattooed from all over the US, Canada and even Europe. The first member from TatAD.com, "Sprinkles" will be tattooed by Thomas Lynch Fashions; a high-end Men's and Women's clothier for $1000 and the tattoo is around the size of a silver dollar. "Sprinkles" will be tattooed at the TatAD launch party, Saturday, Dec 11th at Au Bar Nightclub in Vancouver.

On the American front TatAD has signed an agreement with SRJ Marketing out of Florida who has clients throughout the US and will be actively trying to match their clients with a TatAD member for a tattoo. This will most likely be done in the coming weeks in Florida.

Shocker Inc. Clothing, Orca Bay Suzuki will be tattooing their logos on TatAD members at the launch party. If you are in the Vancouver area this Saturday Dec 11th, you can watch Mark Chadwick and his business partners Lee Jarvis and Kyle Johnston tattooing themselves with their own TatAD.com logo to 'practice what they preach' alongside their TatAD members being tattooed by corporate sponsors.

Call it crazy but it seems to be catching on, and fast! Isn't it time you got paid from the brands you love?

MISSISSAUGA, CANADA, (NAMC) Mar 3, 2005 – As businesses search for new and creative ways to advertise products, a recent trend of offering human forehead and body Ad space has caught the attention of many. HumanBanner.com officially launched on February 11, 2005 as an online marketplace for people to sell their foreheads and body as Ad space to companies! HumanBanner.com also offers other creative marketing solutions such as word-to-word mouth campaigns.

Without doubt, people of all ages are influenced through human interaction. We learn about the hottest trends through our friends, colleagues, or even through our encounters with strangers. We can all switch channels when we don’t like to watch the advertisements on TV. But you definitely will not miss an advertisement on someone’s forehead. In fact, you might even turn your head and look for the second time! Forehead and body Ad space is advertisement that sticks! HumanBanner is the first website to bring thousands of people together who are interested in selling their forehead or body as Ad space. This website is not the typical auction site because it allows companies to seek powerful marketing solutions for their products. In cyberspace anything is possible and an online marketplace for people to sell Human Ad space speaks volumes about the need for marketing solutions that really work.

Companies post their advertising needs on HumanBanner and people browse through these requests and offer their personal Ad space services. HumanBanner is a marketplace where people can create a profile about themselves and what marketing services they can provide to businesses. Next companies review individual profiles who have shown interest in advertising products for them and they can choose to hire one or all of the people.

HumanBanner provides people with opportunity to earn money selling Ad space and gives businesses the incentive to tap into creative marketing solutions. A clothing company for example hires a group of 20 high school and university students in New York and Toronto for $50, 000 for 30 days to wear their clothing line. As a promotional offer HumanBanner lets people create their profile, list photos, and browse through companies that are looking for their Human advertisement space free of charge and for companies to search for advertisers for free!
