              New wins get Upstream off to a flying start in 2008


HONG KONG, 31 January 2008 - Though the New Year is only a few weeks old,
Upstream Asia, a full service marketing and corporate communications network,
has already secured new retainer assignments from clients in Asia's fast-growing
consumer, technology, financial and telecom sectors. The Directors expect
continued strong performance across the region after significantly increasing
revenues in 2007.

Upstream Hong Kong won the regional mandate from a US-based telecom and domain
name services leader in January following a competitive pitch. Also in Hong 
Kong, Upstream was selected by UK-listed digital services firm EnQii to begin
corporate and industry communications in the region, also beginning in January.
Financial technology firm Fidessa has signed a retainer with Upstream, following
an initial project engagement in 2007.

In Australia, smartphone leader HTC engaged Upstream to handle ongoing media
relations work, also following a competitive pitch, adding to a robust consumer
technology practice in Australia that also supports Linksys, Skype and SanDisk.

Other recent new assignments in Australia include new community-generated
business review site and directory, RAYV, and the launch of the Pocketsurfer2
from Datawind, the world's fastest handheld mobile web access device.

At the end of 2007 in China, Upstream was selected by the Ministry of Culture of
Greece to manage communications for the 2008 Cultural Year of Greece in China,
which aims to raise awareness of the home of the Olympic Games during the
Olympic year in China, where the Games will begin during August.

'Demand has never been stronger for Upstream's brand of strategic marketing and
corporate communications in Asia,' said David Ketchum, Upstream Asia CEO.
'Clearly the technology sector remains a key practice area for Upstream across
the region, while our corporate and consumer capabilities and expertise are
increasingly becoming drivers of accelerated growth.'
