“I’ve worked with your company for almost 5 years now and I must commend you on
your staff. I have worked with many other suppliers in the past and your team always
has the best prices and selections. Cheryl, Lanna and Neil are very professional
and a pleasure to work with. These people provide top notch customer service like
I’ve never experienced before. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cheryl or your company…
and I have – numerous times. We have continually ordered promotional items from
you because your team provides the best service, have great ideas and have the best
pricing… time and time again. Keep up the great work!!”

“I was reading in the Calgary Inc. magazine this morning and saw Metromedia Marketing
in there. You received an “Honourable Mention” for the “Best Places to Work”. That’s
awesome. You truly treat your people extremely well and it shows. Your leadership
and guidance is prevalent in everything Metromedia does! Congratulations once again
and as always I look forward to working with you.”

“It's been a great pleasure working with Metromedia over the last couple of years.
You guys make it easy for me and are always ready to "jump into action" when I call.
I know some of the projects have been a bit of a challenge, but you always come
through for me when needed. Thanks again to everyone at Metromedia for their hard
work and commitment!”

“I just wanted to pass on to you that I really appreciated the professional manner
in which I was treated at your office yesterday. I have been in Sales / Marketing
for many years and the presence that your company projects is very positive and
professional. Juliana was a big help in showing me samples and making recommendations
to me on the design side which I appreciated. I left your office wanting to give
you all of our presentation / promotional materials business (will be doing so).”

“Despite the very limited lead time available to Metromedia to manufacture Shell’s
custom gift selection, Metromedia was able to deliver a product of exceptional quality
in advance of Shell’s required deadline. Should a potential client wish to consult
with me regarding Metromedia’s professionalism and service, I would be pleased to
provide the highest recommendation."

“Metromedia Marketing Ltd. has been supplying safety recognition awards for our

“Looking for a product that we can supply to our clients and guest, I was pleasantly
surprised and excited to see such an abundance of choice from a wide variety of
quality products. When planning my gift, you listened intently to what we wanted
to achieve and simply put, accomplished everything we had hoped for. In working
with various members of your company it was apparent you all have dedication to
your customers. Not only a good product, but service, speed and dedication to your
“guests”. All traits of a Delta culture we admire and strive for. It only makes
sense to partner with those who have the same frame of mind. Thank you to everyone.
I will certainly recommend and promote your services.”

“It’s a pleasure to be working with you again and thank you so much for helping

“We recently retained the services of Metromedia Marketing Ltd. for the purpose
of administering our Safety Recognition Program. We found them to be very cooperative
and flexible with respect to our needs and their willingness to accommodate. In
the past, we have “shopped for the best deal” and found, this year, that Metromedia
is not only cost conscious product-wise but also offered the extra conveniences
we required without having to go through several different suppliers. With regard
to their actual service, we found Metromedia competent. Any concerns, changes or
problems encountered were dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. The products
were delivered as per order and on time. In whole, we enjoyed working with Metromedia
and hope that, circumstances permitting, we can continue our relationship with them.”

“We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your efforts in expediting our
recent order of fleece shirts in time for our conference. Your care in advising
us of the very slight colour differences because of the shirts being cut from different
bolts, of allowing us to confirm the exact threads we wanted for the logo, of you
packaging the shirts so we could put other things in with them, was that of a professional.
You went the extra distance. We will not hesitate to use your skills and your organization
in the future. Thank you for your good work.”

“When I first heard of the BA, what got my attention the most was the specific
people behind the group. Nick, Rob, Ian and Peter all have one thing in common that
jumps to mind: a ton of experience to go with a very progressive and strategic approach
to our industry. In my limited 5 years in the industry, I have gotten to know each
of them well and they have given me and Spector and Co. the opportunity to grow
and develop with them. The BA partner's approach to working with suppliers is the
same as their approach with their clients and is based on developing a relationship
of trust, loyalty and delivering value. Our relationship with them is truly a partnership
where we learn from each other, develop and grow our businesses together - and ultimately
share in each other's success. We look forward to witnessing the first years of
the BA's existence as we are confident they will not only add value to their relationships
with clients and suppliers alike, but also continue to contribute to better our
industry as a whole and promote our common values of professionalism and creating
solutions and value for consumers of promotional products.”

“It is with great pleasure that the Fletcher Leisure Group, (Sunice, Ashworth, AUR,
Callaway Apparel and Adams Golf) has been named a preferred partner with the BA
group. While already enjoying strong relationships with BA partners, Fletcher looks
forward to further strengthening our partnership with this well organized alliance.
The BA group of partners understands the nuances of the promotional industry as
well as we understand the influence of well designed apparel to the corporate and
retail industries. It is a perfect fit. We wish them all much success in 2008 and
look forward to our continued involvement.”

“On behalf of the entire team at ESP/K&R, I wish BA all the success in the world.
Over the years we have worked successfully with each of you and now look forward
to exceeding your clients expectations with everything we do.
The combination of these four successful distributors will allow end users to capitalize
on the strength of each entity. We will be there to support local and import needs
throughout 2008 and beyond. Good luck with this new business entity.
We at ESP/K&R know it will be successful!
Warmest Regards,
The Entire ESP/K&R Team”

“This testimonial endorses the new BrandAlliance and its strategic vision
of the future of our industry.
Combining the unique skill sets that each individual company possesses, the sum
of its parts will certainly allow the new alliance to meet the demands of an increasingly
more sophisticated end-user and forge a creative new path that will enrich our industry.
Having partnered with all four cornerstones of the alliance (The Next Trend Designs,
Creative Concepts, Immediate Sales, and Metromedia), it goes without saying that
each individual company has a history of success based on creativity, experience,
and knowledge. Together, the group will undoubtedly harness their collective strengths
and offer a whole new dimension to the promotional landscape.
As a company, we look forward to continuing a partnership-based approach with BA;
one that mirrors BrandAlliance’s spirit of synergy and cooperation.
We’re sincerely looking forward to a shared journey in the bold new direction that
BrandAlliance is taking. Here’s to your success!
Warm regards,”

"In a very brief period of time the BrandAlliance organization has developed into a leader within the Canadian Corporate marketplace. With their focus on "Partnership" and a "Preferred Supplier" strategy, the BA offers all of its key suppliers the opportunity to have their products reach customers through New and Innovative marketing solutions which has resulted in phenomenal growth with Ash City. We are very excited with the latest addition to the group (Copilote), as this now provides full sales coverage across Canada and gives them legitimate representation within the Quebec marketplace."
