Jones Soda's Mike Spear Appointed to Marketing Director; Will Focus on Increased National Retail Marketing, Online Presence and Strategic Brand Partnerships

SEATTLE, WA, Aug 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Jones Soda Co. (JSDA 1.25, +0.01, +1.02%) , a leader in the premium soda category and known for its unique branding and innovative marketing, today announced Mike Spear as its new Marketing Director. Spear was promoted from his previous role as head of Interactive Marketing for Jones Soda, and is tasked with overseeing all marketing strategy as the company expands distribution nationwide and continues to maintain its online marketing and social media strength.

"The heart of the Jones brand has always been our consumers -- from the photos on our labels to the user commentary feeding into our website every day," said Jones CEO William Meissner. "Retail marketing efforts have to be a priority as we grow our distribution, but our online efforts are where we stay connected to the people who built our brand, and that's where we'll get our marketing cues. Mike's leadership in social media paired with his proven track record as a nimble brand marketer made this an easy decision."

Spear has been with Jones for nearly eight years, starting in a dual role covering both consumer response and marketing. In his new elevated role, Spear will provide crucial contributions in taking Jones to a new level, with goals to step up marketing efforts in retail while maintaining the brand's leadership online and in social media.

In his time at Jones, Spear has had a number of product launch successes, and forged product partnerships with Dark Horse Comics, Seattle Seahawks, Fox Studios, Microsoft, Wizards of the Coast, icanhascheezburger.com and many more. Recently, he also led the charge to aggregate the brand's many Facebook fan pages to create one central hub boasting more than 470,000 fans.

He's also the brains behind Jonessoda.com which often receives accolades among the marketing industry for showcasing user-generated content in innovative ways. Under Spear's leadership, the site was recently rebranded to mobilize the brand's loyalists online, improve user interface and simplify navigation. Jonessoda.com is designed to act as more of a community than a corporate site, including a live Twitter feed and streaming photo gallery from fans, and it's also equipped with more than a dozen ways to share Jones content online.

"I've always loved the uniqueness of the Jones brand and enjoy the challenge of coming up with creative ways to continually engage our consumers," said Spear. "It's my priority to always stay one step ahead of our consumers and bring them something of value from Jones Soda."

US: Jones Soda calls off buyer search - report
By: just-drinks.com editorial team | 27 July 2010


Jones Soda has been trying to find a buyer for over a year

Jones Soda has said that it is no longer looking for a buyer and will instead concentrate its efforts on building the company’s distribution network, according to reports.

The US soda maker, which had been trying to find a suitor for over a year, received an acquisition offer from Big Red Holdings Corp in December last year, a second from Reed’s in March and a third from a rival suitor to Reed's in the same month.

However, CEO Bill Meissner told Reuters yesterday (26 July) that the firm has now shifted its focus from trying to sell the business to building its brands through an expansion of its distribution network.

Meissner told the publication that the first two bids “were not an appropriate value”, while the third came with conditions that "made it a risk at best” for shareholders.

The CEO said his focus now is on “steering the company out of trouble”, while remaining independent.

The firm has not posted a profit since the quarter ended June 2007. In May, Jones narrowed its losses in the first-quarter as a result of cost-cutting measures.

JSDA - indeed one never knows, POPped up, now +15%, the chart was looking one way or the other, now we know ;)

Seahawks drop Jones...
NWCN.com
Posted on June 29, 2010 at 7:00 AM
RENTON, Wash. - The three year union between the Seattle Seahawks and Jones Soda has fizzed out.
The two companies announced Tuesday they were ending the sponsorship relationship, which has given Jones Soda exclusive sales of carbonated beverages at Qwest Field.
"The Seahawks partnership was great for Jones Soda providing brand awareness, retail activation and involvement with one of the elite NFL franchises," said William Meissner, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Soda in a press release. "We achieved everything and more than we originally set out to do with Qwest Field and the Seahawks organization."
The relationship between the Seattle-based soft-drink company and the Seahawks began in June, 2007. At the time, the partnership was to have run from July 1, 2007 to February 28, 2012.
According to a March report in the Seattle Times, Jones Soda has been struggling financially. It posted a fourth-quarter loss of $4.5 million. In April, the Times reported that Jones Soda said in securities filings that it had doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. At that time, the company replaced its Chief Executive Officer.
Just this month, Jones Soda was able to secure $10 million in financing and signed a deal with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to have its drinks sold in the retailer's U.S. stores.
In ending its partnership with the Seahawks, Jones said it "will return its attention to grassroots marketing initiatives that focus on a nationwide audience."
"We made a strategic decision that enables us to redeploy our remaining sponsorship dollars under this arrangement to focus on other initiatives that support our core business, and leaves the Seattle Seahawks in a good position to move forward with another carbonated beverage provider," said Meissner.
"We couldn't be more proud of our partnership with Jones Soda, and will continue to cheer them on in the future", said Vulcan Sports & Entertainment CEO Tod Leiweke in the press release. "From day one Jones joined us in focusing our efforts on enhancing the fan experience at Qwest Field while also activating our partnership to the fullest extent possible to deliver value to consumers at retail."
There was no word from the Seahawks on which soda provider will take over at Qwest Field.

SEATTLE, Jun 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jones Soda Co. (JSDA 1.83, +0.06, +3.28%) , a leader in the premium soda category and known for its unique branding and innovative marketing, today announced that it has entered into a committed equity financing facility under which it may sell up to $10 million of its registered common stock to Glengrove Small Cap Value, Ltd. over an approximately 24-month period. Jones Soda is not obligated to utilize the facility and remains free to enter into other financing transactions.

Jones Soda will determine, at its sole discretion, the timing, dollar amount and floor price per share for any draw under this facility, subject to certain conditions. When and if Jones Soda elects to use the facility, the number and price of shares sold in each draw will be determined by a contractual formula, whereby Jones Soda will issue shares to Glengrove at a pre-negotiated discount to the daily volume weighted average price of Jones Soda's common stock over a preceding period of trading days. Reedland Capital Partners, an Institutional Division of Financial West Group, Member FINRA/SIPC, acted as placement agent for the initial signing of the facility and will receive a fee for its services at the time of any draw under the facility.

In connection with the execution of the equity financing facility, Jones Soda will issue to Glengrove 70,053 shares of registered common stock as a commitment fee. The offer and sale of shares by Jones Soda under this equity facility have been registered pursuant to a shelf registration declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2010.

Jones Soda intends to use the proceeds from any sale of securities under the facility for targeted funding for new marketing programs, to secure and grow larger distributor and national retail accounts, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

"This equity line provides us with an important financing option," said Bill Meissner, Jones Soda's Chief Executive Officer. "The facility has a competitive cost of capital and flexible structure and offers a means to strengthen our financial position and support our continuing efforts to expand the distribution of our brands in new and existing markets."

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Jones Soda Shares Hit New 52-week High (JSDA)
Submitted by WSN_Staff on Tue, 06/01/2010 - 15:18.
in JSDA Headlines

Jones Soda Co. (NASDAQ:JSDA) is back in full force, today its shares hit a new 12 month high of $1.75 and in the last five trading sessions its stock has increased a massive 137%.

As we mentioned this morning, Jones Soda makes a Comeback -- The Seattle soda company is back in the spotlight after it all seemed like the end was coming.

Jones Soda Co. (NASDAQ:JSDA) shares are one of the few fun stories today, shares are up 50%. The spike can be attributed last Thursday when Jones announced a retail deal with the king of all retailers -- Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT).

Jones Soda is now silently rapping one of LL Cool J's classic lines, "don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years."

GO JONES GO
In March Jones Soda Co (JSDA) terminated the exclusivity provisions of a potential merger deal with Reed's Inc (REED) to explore an unsolicited bid by a third party.



The deal on the table at that time was for Reed's in a cash-and-stock deal pick Jones Soda for about $9.7 million. Its a damn good thing that didn't happen, thanks to Jones shares now trading at $1.75, the company's market cap is now worth $43.87 million. How about them apples?

At the end of March Jones reported a net loss of $4.5 million, or ($0.17) per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 33% over the fourth quarter 2008 net loss of $3.4 million, or ($0.13) per share, with the current quarter including $2.0 million in non-cash charges for excess inventory and fixed asset write-downs.

The Company reported a net loss of $10.5 million, or ($0.40) per share, for 2009, an improvement of 31% over the 2008 net loss of $15.2 million, or ($0.58) per share.

Congrats to the company and the shareholders that stood by when its shares got down to 40 cents, may the last soda win.

Thx, worked out good. It's gone into a whole new range, and I'll be watching for support to set up here before committing large again. GLTA
