BRYN MAWR, Pa., May 11, 2004 - Creative Enterprises International, Inc., www.creativepi.com,
(Pink Sheets: CEII), announced today that its unique brand of enhanced water,
Skinny WaterŪ, was featured on FOX News TV, Q13 in Seattle May 5th on the 10:00
nightly news. Anchor Leslie Miller introduced the two-part leading story on
enhanced bottled water featuring Skinny WaterŪ, with Kerri Kazarba reporting.
Skinny WaterŪ is ready for the consumer market this summer, following 3 years
of research. The new brand is already receiving industry attention as it completes
the final stages of redesigning the bottle, packaging and image. As one of the
lead anchors reflected consumer sentiment during the airing of the segment "I
would do just about anything to be skinny," this new brand is sure to capture
its market share of the enhanced bottle water market.
Michael Salaman, President of CEII stated, "The Fox News TV report illustrates
the newsworthiness of Skinny WaterŪ and begins a National public relations campaign
by the Company to create demand and brand awareness of Skinny WaterŪ."
The news story focused on the bottled water industry as number two in the
beverage industry and introduced the various enhanced bottled water industry
players and their features, benefits and claims. While not all companies could
substantiate all claims, the Skinny WaterŪ carb blocker, Super CitriMax and
Skinny WaterŪ's patent-pending formula features an all natural, clinically tested
ingredient, Hydroxycitric Acid ("Super CitriMax'') plus a combination of calcium,
potassium, chromium, vitamin C, vitamins B6, B12, and Folic Acid, which all
play a role in weight control and in promoting normal metabolic function. Skinny
WaterŪ is ephedra-free and contains no preservatives, caffeine, calories or
sugar.
Additionally the ephedra-free ingredient "Super CitriMax,'' the main component
of the Skinny WaterŪ formula has been affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as
Safe) for use in functional beverages by the Burdock Group, one of the nation's
leading toxicology specialists who evaluate the safety of food and beverage
ingredients. This process involved an intensive review of all safety and toxicology
data by a panel of scientific experts.
Skinny WaterŪ was completed after 3 years of research, working closely with
prominent food scientists and a major nutraceutical manufacturer.
The Company has engaged Coleman Brandworx, one of the country's leading strategic
branding companies to reposition Skinny WaterŪ, for its summer debut in major
US markets. Coleman Brandworx efforts will include developing a visualized position
for the Skinny WaterŪ brand, and development of structural packaging, packaging
graphics, point-of-purchase displays, collateral system, promotional materials
and the development of the Skinny WaterŪ e-commerce enabled web site. The Company's
previous experience in working in related categories includes well-known brands
Danone Water, Coca-Cola, Snapple and Sparkletts.
