U.S. National DRTV Launch for Winning Colours Stain Remover
Hawthorne Direct Chosen for Winning Brands' Direct Response Television Advertising

BARRIE, Ontario, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) http://www.winningbrands.ca/, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, has appointed DRTV industry leader Hawthorne Direct http://www.hawthornedirect.com/ to manage the implementation of Winning Brands' first-ever Direct Response Television Advertising. The addition of DRTV to Winning Brands' U.S. launch strategy for Winning Colours Stain Remover is a major development in the company's ambitions for the versatile cleaning solution because of the national cable network platform envisioned for the campaign. This will be the first time that Winning Colours Stain Remover advertising will be seen on TV by consumers across America. Preliminary plans call for Winning Colours Stain Remover direct response advertising to begin by the 1st week of May 2010. Production will take place at Los Angeles Center Studios http://www.lacenterstudios.com/

Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, explains the context: "We have now received in writing confirmation of our being an approved trading partner with our first major U.S. retailer with national reach. Pending the activation of this relationship, we will commence building an 'As Seen on TV' stature for Winning Colours Stain Remover. It is well known that products which are active in the DRTV platform can be particularly successful in traditional retail because of the appeal for consumers of 'celebrity' products and the convenience of purchasing them spontaneously in stores. Furthermore, the DRTV format permits advertising cost recovery to make our on-air presence sustainable. The bottom line is that 2010 is the year in which Winning Colours Stain Remover will fully engage with the American consumer."

Winning Colours has already secured national retail partnerships in Canada (where the advanced cleaning solution was developed) including Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Zellers.
