<div><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: rgb(127, 127, 127);">In March 2008, Paramount and Rhythm NewMedia teamed up for their sixth advertising campaign for the release of the comedic film Drillbit Taylor, featuring Owen Wilson. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: rgb(127, 127, 127);">Paramount chose Rhythm again because Rhythm can seamlessly integrate both brand and call-to-action advertising on mobile phones utilizing mobile video pre-rolls and WAP banner ads. Also, using demographic information provided by the user, Rhythm was also able to target Drillbit Taylor film previews exclusively to consumers ages 16-24 watching free mobile videos on 3 UK. Rhythm’s call to action banner ads allowed Drillbit Taylor fans to deeply engage and enter a competition on their mobile phone quickly and directly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
