XA Produces the First Annual Cookie Magazine Smart Cookie Awards April 30, 2007

April 27, 2007 | 6:00 am

NEW YORK, April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XA, Inc., (XA) (OTC BB: XAIN), a major national event marketing firm that serves many Fortune 500 companies, reports that it has been selected by Conde Nast's Cookie magazine as the event agency of record for the design and production of the Smart Cookie Awards. The event will take place on April 30, 2007, at the Morgan Library in New York City. Immediately following the presentation, the magazine will host guests at a reception.

As the event marketing agency, XA will partner with Cookie magazine to design and develop all required elements of the awards program. XA will create environments emblematic of Cookie's message and style. XA will be responsible for the creation of video tributes, technical direction, stylish stage and set design and bringing the pages of the magazine to life throughout the evening. Cookie magazine created the Smart Cookie Awards to honor extraordinary mothers who have made a significant impact in the lives of women and children. This year some of the honorees include Cynthia Nixon, Marcia Gay Harden, Mariska Hargitay, Liya Kebede and Sharon Stone.

Joe Wagner, CEO of XA, states, "It is an honor to be chosen by Cookie magazine and be an integral part of their first annual awards ceremony. We are proud that XA will be given the opportunity to showcase our design logistics and production capabilities to support the Smart Cookie Awards."

Marketers spent an estimated $171 billion in event marketing in 2005, up 3% from the previous year. In addition, 96% of marketing executives reported that they use events in their marketing mix according to PROMO's survey of event marketing executives. (Source: PROMO Magazine, April 2006)
