BOARD OF MARIN BREAST CANCER WATCH

CEO of Local Marketing Firm Elected to Board of Directors
for Breast Cancer Organization in Marin

San Rafael, Calif. - April 1, 2005 - Duke Marketing™, an Integrated Marketing Communications firm, announced today Linda Duke, CEO has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Marin Breast Cancer Watch, a grassroots organization dedicated to finding the causes and stopping the epidemic of breast cancer. Duke Marketing has provided pro bono marketing and public relations efforts to the non-profit organization in an effort to create awareness about the breast cancer epidemic in Marin County, and the organization's mission and events for the past three years.

"With the staggering rates of Marin breast cancer and all the media attention focused on it, we needed to work with the press and Linda Duke volunteered to work with us," said Janice Barlow, Executive Director of Marin Breast Cancer Watch. "We are very fortunate to have Linda on our Board and her firm to help us get public awareness in our efforts to finding the causes and stop this terrible epidemic."

The Marin Breast Cancer Watch was formed in the fall of 1995 by a group of women who were alarmed that, according to the Northern California Cancer Center, women living in Marin County now have a 1-in-7 lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. The organization's commitment to pursuing community-based research and education along with their environmental research to explore possible environmental links to breast cancer right here in Marin County has received major attention from the media.

"I am honored to be chosen to the Board of the Marin Breast Cancer Watch and support the efforts being made to find the causes and educate the community on breast cancer," stated Linda Duke, CEO and Principal of Duke Marketing. "My parents have been very involved with the American Cancer Society for years and I felt that it was important to focus some of my efforts and skills to support the breast cancer organization and my community in the fight against cancer too."

Duke Marketing provides the Marin Breast Cancer Watch with public relations and marketing efforts to increase their visibility in the press and community to support their research and education of breast cancer. Duke Marketing provides a full range of services, including: strategic consulting and market positioning, image development, names, themes, and tag lines, writing, designing and producing advertisements, brochures, direct mail, Web sites, trade show materials and newsletters, as well as creating publicity, managing events, speaking engagements, and public relations.
