PENSACOLA, FLORIDA --(May 8, 1999)-- MicroBlend, LLC., has announced a
new partnership with innovative marketing house Coco Design Associates, Inc.
MicroBlend is a manufacturer of specialty cleaning products whose clients
include Mobil Corporation and recently merged Pennzoil/Quaker State. Coco
Design will handle special projects for the company, including the Gargoyle Chemicals line of products.

“Coco Design has just the right team for our Gargoyle Chemicals brand,” said
Ron Stevens, CEO of MicroBlend. “They have a global perspective, a proven
ability to create comprehensive, effective marketing programs, and a
personal touch. Those are the qualities we look for, and in Coco Design we
found an efficient, cost effective organization that delivers excellent
results.”

Coco Design’s role will allow MicroBlend to strengthen close relationships with its clients, distributors, and employees, a strategy the company has pursued since its inception. As a result MicroBlend has quickly grown into a committed and capable force to be reckoned with in the specialty cleaning products industry.

“MicroBlend has the vision, capability and desire to become the recognized
industry leader,” Stevens said. “Because MicroBlend offers superior products
and unparalleled service to our customers, promoting our products is simple.
We let potential clients see what we have to offer and let them decide for
themselves to work with us. Coco Design plays a key role here. Their
energetic, appealing presentations really highlight MicroBlend’s strengths.”

Coco Design has been a flexible and innovative marketing house since its
inception in 1994. Accustomed to working with clients from across the
continent, Coco Design is an innovator in the use of telecommunications
technology to create a virtual work environment that capitalizes on the
strengths of associates around the world. Their unusual infrastructure and
pro-active operating philosophy has led to rapid growth and international
recognition for their services.

“We have a non-conventional infrastructure because we do non-conventional
work,” said P. Jay Massey, president of Coco Design. “We have associates all
over the world, each with his or her strengths, knowledge and contributions
to make. We pull on our diversity when we work on a project, and the result
is an incredible amount of flexibility and creativity. Not to mention
incredible efficiency.”

Coco Design’s flexibility, efficiency and creativity allows it to provide
single job support as well as long-term, full-partnering relationships,
while keeping its services nationally competitive. The company capitalizes
on the capabilities afforded by its unique organization to help clients
maximize the effectiveness of their resources.

"Where we really shine is when we have a startup or expanding company
working toward a national image and exposure,” Massey says. “We slide in
like an in-house marketing department (without the overhead) and take the
client where they need to be. This kind of partnering relationship is where
more and more companies are heading. It’s more cost effective in both the
short and long run."
