BrainJuicer Group PLC

 ("BrainJuicer" and the "Company")

Director Changes

BrainJuicer (AIM:BJU), a leading international online market research agency, has been informed that Mark Muth, a non-executive director of the Company intends to resign from the board of directors (the "Board") in April 2012.  Mark joined the Board when Unilever Ventures invested in the Company, as its representative, in 2003.  Unilever Ventures sold down their stake in 2010 and exited completely in 2011, as planned.  The Board would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Mark for his very significant contribution and unwavering support over the last nine years.

In preparation for Mark's retirement, the Board is appointing Robert Brand (aged 58) as a non-executive director with effect from January 2012.  Robert began his career in 1977, initially as a research analyst and then as Managing Director of UK Equity research at BZW, then the investment banking division of Barclays Bank.  In 1990 he joined Makinson Cowell, a capital markets advisory firm, as a director.  Over a period of 18 years he advised a wide range of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies, focussing on their link with institutional investors. He retired from Makinson Cowell in 2008.

The Board sees this as marking a new chapter for the Company, as it develops its institutional investor base and continues to build the business.
