Leading sports marketing agency to optimise digital communications for the England
and Wales Cricket Board


London, 21st February, 2008 - Locker Room Sports, a leading UK digital sports
marketing agency, has been appointed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to
handle digital communications for its soon to be re-launched fans services and
membership programme. Locker Room Sports will use their knowledge of online sports
marketing to help the ECB grow and expand their fans database and improve the range,
quality and frequency of e-communications with them

The ECB fans membership programme will enable fans to get closer to players, get
priority ticket access to international matches and have access to a range of other
benefits including subscription to All Out Cricket magazine. All proceeds will go
directly to the development of the game in England.

Locker Room Sports, a division of Locker Room Media, was selected following a
competitive pitch and will now be responsible for driving a range of digital
campaigns for the ECB. In particular, they are tasked with developing an email
marketing strategy and managing and developing the design, production and delivery
of email newsletters to ECB members.

"We were very impressed with the range of services Locker Room Sports offered, not
to mention their proven track record in sports marketing and skills in digital
communication," commented Will Collinson, ECB Marketing and New Media Manager. "The
relationship with England Cricket fans is very important to the ECB as cricket's
popularity continues to go, especially with the Ashes round the corner. We see
digital as fundamental to this and are confident that Locker Room Sports can take us
to the next level."

"The ECB is one of British sport's leading governing bodies and we are excited by
the opportunity to work with them to develop and expand their digital services,"
said Justin Brookfield, MD of Locker Room Sports. "It's great to see a governing
body understanding the requirements of the fans and embracing digital media to build
growing and lasting relationships with them."
