Focuspoint Inc. Awards Prize to “Finding CMO”
Website Contest Winner

Manassas, VA --August 15, 2005 – This week, Focuspoint, Inc. presented the winner of their website contest, “Finding CMO,” with a cash prize of $1,000 at a small ceremony. Ms. Darla Rosenberger of OBA Bank was the lucky winner to have her name drawn from the pool of entries. Rosenberger was able to visit the Focuspoint Team in their Manassas, VA offices for the prize presentation ceremony after just a short drive from the Maryland headquarters of OBA Bank.

Visitors to focuspoint.com were encouraged to search through the site to find the animated image of Focuspoint’s President and CEO Creston M. Owen (CMO) and submit their entry for a chance to win the $1,000 once they found him. The contest began in February of this year and concluded on June 30th.

“The sales and marketing team came up with the idea to use Creston Owen’s nickname, CMO (C-Mo) as he is known by friends and colleagues, as a play on words after recognizing the popularity of the 2003 Disney® movie Finding Nemo, and Mr. Owen thought it would be fun to hold a contest that would drive people to the website and give them an incentive to actually search through the pages while they were enjoying a sort of ‘seek and find’ with the chance to win a cash prize,” explained Joe Martin, Vice President of Sales. “The fact that the traffic to the Focuspoint website more than tripled during the contest period and the number of entries we received proved to us that our clients and other web-surfers enjoyed our hide-and-seek game just as much as we thought they would!” Martin continued.

Focuspoint Marketing Coordinator, Kate Wiggins, announced at the ceremony, “The winner of the contest, Ms. Darla Rosenberger is the Project/Product Coordinator, AVP at OBA Bank, whose corporate headquarters are located in Germantown, MD. OBA Bank has been a Focuspoint client since 1998, and currently has six locations utilizing Focuspoint’s On Hold Solution® and other services. I am pleased to have the honor of presenting this prize to Ms. Rosenberger. She was one of the first people to ‘find CMO,’ submitting her entry form early in March—only one month after the kickoff of the contest! Ms. Rosenberger visits the website often as she uses Focus, our online editing process, to update the on hold messages for all six of the OBA branches.”

Ms. Rosenberger responded, “It is so exciting to be the winner of this contest. The Focuspoint team has been so helpful to me with coordinating our on hold messages for all six of our branches. From giving me ideas for what to put in our messages, to update reminders, to fast message turnaround time, their service has been wonderful. It is great to finally meet the people who create the messages that our clients hear when they call our bank. The On Hold Solution is one of the best marketing tools that we use!”
