Corporate Highlights

Next Generation Player

Following recent successes in virtual world marketing and advertising, Mannea intends to substantially improve first generation offerings.

Virtual World Pure Play

With a long established presence in Second Life, Mannea will utilize its extensive expertise and existing communication channels to best capitalize on the burgeoning Second Life community presence.

Untapped Market

As an emerging environment, the true value of virtual world marketing has yet to be fully tapped; as active community members, Mannea is well positioned for rapid market acceptance to create a fully integrated presence for its clients.

Whole New World

While business first began to capitalize on the Internet only in the early 90s,gamers and techies who toyed with a virtual presence long before the Internet became household commonplace, had long harnessed the power of computerbased technology and 3D imagery for interaction, but longed for a world all their own. In 1999, Linden Lab® designed Second Life®, a first of its kind, flourishing 3D virtual world created by its community that now boasts six million+ users and even its own monetary exchange.As the community has grown in recognition and popularity, as with the Internet's introduction, brick and mortar and online businesses are now increasingly seeking an active marketing and/or placement presence in Second Life, with immediate access to this virtually untapped marketplace.

Second Marketing

Having recognized the power of Second Life's virtual universe to capture an audience, industry giants like Nike®, Dell®, AOL® and even Coldwell Banker® have already carved a niche in Second Life,hoping to provide virtual marketing that attracts real life revenue. While these companies sought early marketers to bring their products and services to this vast virtual community for an instant presence, it is the second
generation of integrated marketing and advertising that will provide real value to businesses and individuals desiring a Second Life presence. As active virtual world community members almost since inception, Mannea LLC, a whollyowned subsidiary of Church & Crawford (OTC: CCWD), seeks to capitalize on the power of
virtual worlds and their unique expertise in the emerging Second Life world to provide integrated marketing and advertising experience for "real life" businesses and their target consumers.

The Next Generation

Utilizing its extensive contacts and existing expertise in the community, Mannea offers a truly integrated presence for Second Life newcomers,offering targeted campaigns that fully integrate the company’s products or services into the Second Life experience in a way that taps the true potential of this virtual marketplace. To do so, the Company has already implemented a number of directives in order to build rapid brand awareness, both in Second Life and in "real world" communities, where advertising and marketing campaigns capture businesses and individuals seeking to appeal to broad virtual world audiences.

In addition to marketing and advertising campaigns, Mannea expects to build upon its existing presence in Second Life® to create new offerings designed to enhance the virtual world experience for advertisers and community members alike. Each of the Company's offerings currently being developed will substantially enhance the virtual world experience by offering never-before technologies and interfaces under the Mannea label.

Bridging the Gap

Before the rise of the Internet, not since the industrial revolution had we experienced growth of a new industry, a new marketplace and a new technology that truly changed the way we live and work.
Like the Internet's first generation popularity growth and now established presence, Second Life has already established itself as a unique virtual world environment that captures a sense of community and has even created its own economy and culture. Where first generation Second Life advertising and marketing campaigns fall short, Mannea's integrated offerings capitalize on the unique environmental and interpersonal conditions of business and daily "living" in Second Life, creating real value for business and individuals seeking an integrated presence in this rapidly growing virtual world. Early entry investors stand to benefit as Mannea add proprietary technological products and services to its virtual world offerings and expands its business plan to provide similar offerings for a broad range of virtual world environments.
