Groundbreaking Germ Protection Spray Available to Cincinnati Consumers for First Time

Spray Reduces by 99.99 Percent More Than 60 Potentially Harmful Germs

Cincinnati, OH – September 2, 2009 – MyClyns^Ò, a convenient, pocket-sized spray that reduces 99.99 percent of more than 60 harmful pathogens including MRSA, e. Coli, and staph in laboratory tests, is for the first time being made available to Cincinnati consumers. The professional MyClyns product trusted by police, firefighters, EMTs and other health care professionals to protect them when exposed to germs while on the job, is now available for a limited time to consumers and is available online at www.MyGermSpray.com. The product will sell for $17.99.

Union, Kentucky-based Union Springs Pharmaceuticals, developer of MyClyns, is test marketing the professional product throughout Greater Cincinnati in preparation for a national consumer version and consumer rollout later this fall. Union Springs’ leadership decided to offer the same professional version of the product to the public after receiving numerous requests earlier this summer, and to make the product readily available for the fall and winter season.

MyClyns is a non-stinging, non-burning, alcohol-free spray that is safe for use on all mucous membranes. After coming into contact with a potentially infected person, MyClyns can be sprayed directly into the eyes, ears, mouth and minor cuts and abrasions – common entry points for most germs. When an exposure to germs has occurred, such as a sneeze or a cough, response time is critical. MyClyns is a readily available product that can be stored in a pocket, purse, gym bag or carry-on for everyday use.

“MyClyns has been embraced in the public safety community, as first responders are frequently exposed to germs and bodily fluids in the field,” Union Springs Pharmaceuticals president Joel Ivers explained. “The expansion of this product into consumer markets offers individuals a way to respond to germ exposures, and to put a measure of control, conveniently, right into their hands.”

Visit www.mygermspray.com for more information about the product.

Texas Insurance Experts Stand Against Government Run Healthcare Option

Texas Association of Health Underwriters States Recommendation on Healthcare Reform Proposal

Dallas, TX — August 31, 2009 — The Texas Association of Health Underwriters (TAHU) released a statement on behalf of more than 1700 insurance agents from across the state of Texas outlining their recommendation for a revision to the proposed healthcare plan. The recommendation included a bulleted list of criteria for a plan that TAHU members would support, stressing their stance against a government run healthcare option.

“We believe that an insurance agent should always be included in the delivery system which is not included in the Federal government plan. Reform should not eliminate individual plan options or reduce Medicare in any way and also must retain the pre-tax incentive for employers and employees.” TAHU president Rusty Rice said. “Reform of any kind should not be funded by raising taxes to only a certain portion of the population; it should address the escalating healthcare costs and not add to the Federal deficit.”

The statement was released during the August recess after TAHU’s Board of Directors met to discuss future efforts and legislation of healthcare reform activists. The outline went further to state that TAHU will not support a reform plan that includes a government run option because of the possible elimination of the sale of individual insurance policies and TAHU will only support a plan that leaves Medicare funding intact.

“We felt the views and opinions of the health insurance industry and industry professionals were not being heard by media and politicians,” Rice said. “TAHU chose to outline the type of healthcare reform proposal that we would support and encourage based on our professional expertise. The outline acts as a guideline for something we hope politicians and policy makers will take to heart.”

TAHU agents are also committed to continue addressing the issues of providing coverage to the uninsured through existing government programs and the Texas high risk insurance pool.

About the Texas Association of Health Underwriters

A state chapter of the National Association of Health Underwriters, TAHU is a professional organization of agents and insurance company representatives aiming “…to inform and protect the consumer by enhancing the professional growth of its members.” Since its founding in 1930, there are now over 200 state and local chapters of the NAHU servicing the insurance needs of millions of Americans.

Eisen Marketing Group Joins Local Nonprofit in Bettering Lives of Students

Cincinnati, OH — August 17, 2009 — Eisen Marketing Group (EMG), Greater Cincinnati’s largest public relations firm, has joined the Adopt A Class (AAC) program beginning this fall. Since its inception, AAC has helped thousands of students in the Greater Cincinnati area and nationwide, concentrating mostly on urban areas with high poverty levels. The AAC program focuses on providing mentors for students while improving social skills and encouraging education.

“When I first heard of the Adopt A Class Foundation, I knew that EMG needed to be part of such a meaningful organization,” EMG president Rodger Roeser said. “The program positively affects students across the country and we wanted to help make a difference in the community in which we live and work. By sharing our lives and past experiences with these children, we can hopefully help a child to continue expressing interest in their education.”

Cincinnati Public Relations Firm Launches New Sports, Entertainment Division

For Immediate Release

Cincinnati Public Relations Firm Launches New Sports, Entertainment Division
Eisen Marketing Group Formalizes Division True to Agency Roots

Cincinnati, OH – August 12, 2009 – Cincinnati public relations firm Eisen Marketing Group has formalized and today officially launched its sports and entertainment division. EMG president Rodger Roeser began his professional public relations career in pro sports with a NASCAR team and cut his teeth as a professional musician also promoting and managing acts.

The firm currently represents a number of clients in this arena locally and nationwide including Oregon’s Rogue Opera, Cincinnati model Brittany Jean, Newport hot spot Jefferson Hall and the AVP/Cincinnati, as well as dozens of organizations that hire the firm to manage and promote events, promotions and festivals. While the agency has and continues to represent a number of such clients, there was no specific division or program dedicated to the unique needs of that client base.

“It has been an area of growth for us, and actually takes us back to the very roots of this organization originally founded in the late 1980s,” Roeser explained. “It’s one of those areas of our firm where members of the EMG team fight to be on that assignment, because while it’s a lot of work, late nights and weekends, it is terribly fun. How many jobs do you get hired to commission a giant ice sculpture of a toilet?”

Roeser said that the firm is actively marketing itself to authors, clubs, models, athletes, performers and sports entities who need professional representation and assistance with their management, communications, sponsorships and promotions. The new division also encompasses the event management arm of the firm, which provides comprehensive, turnkey event management from trade show to grand opening, wedding to promotion, and holiday to corporate retreat.
