MediaZest Plc ("MediaZest", the "Company" or "Group"; AIM: MDZ) POPAI award win and new business update

MediaZest, the creative digital out-of-home advertising company, is pleased to announce it has won its second major industry award at the POPAI awards (Point-of-Purchase Advertising International) this week. The Company's trading subsidiary, TouchVision Limited, took a silver prize for instore work with HMV on their revamped headphone tables, which launched with great success in late 2011.

In addition, the Board is pleased to announce significant new business wins since the last trading update in mid June 2012. Subsequent to that update the Company has confirmed new business project orders totalling over £800,000 with delivery completed in the intervening period or expected to be finished within the next nine months. This includes work from existing and new clients across the retail, education, and hospitality sectors. Ongoing contractual recurring revenues for this period based on current contracts in addition to these new business projects is expected to be in the region of £300,000-£400,000.

There are several other key opportunities that the Company hope to crystallise that will add to this total in the coming months and a strong pipeline of new business opportunities that will also contribute and assist in driving the business forward.

The Board are particularly pleased to note confirmed projects include some work in the United States as the Group looks to exploit its unique positioning in territories outside of Europe in the current economic climate. As the Group strives to add recurring revenues, increased interest in the services it provides is leading to more opportunities to move the business model towards more predictable revenues, based on repeat consulting fees as opposed to project work. This will in turn allow the Group to move to more consistent revenues and profitability.
