STRATEGIC MARKETING FIRM AND MARKETING SOFTWARE COMPANY PARTNER TO HELP JON MONTGOMERY—NUMBER-TWO RANKED SKELETON RACER IN THE WORLD—REACH THE MEDAL PODIUM AT THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS IN VANCOUVER

Calgary, Alberta (July 16, 2008)—Twist Marketing and Canterris are pleased to announce they are sponsoring Canadian National Title holder in skeleton racing Jon Montgomery, who is also ranked second in the world in this exciting, high-speed sport.

“Canadian athletes make great sacrifices to represent our country on the world stage,” says Catherine Proulx, Managing Partner at Twist Marketing. “Jon is no exception. He has managed to train and not just compete, but to win against the best in the world, at the same time that he holds down a job like the rest of us. We are honored to be able to supplement his resources so he can concentrate on continuing his success in the seasons leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics.”

As part of the sponsorship, Twist Marketing designed Jon’s website and sponsorship package. Canterris provided its on-demand Canterris Marketing Suite and services to let Jon easily manage the website and his online marketing programs. “Supporting the communities we live and work in has always been a priority for Canterris,” says Phil Klassen, President and CEO of Canterris. “Our dealings with Jon have shown that we made the right decision to help him on his quest for gold at the Olympics. Not only is he a world-class athlete, he demonstrates the commitment, integrity and sportsmanship that are the mark of a true winner.”

Skeleton racing is a high-speed sport in which competitors race head-first down an ice track at speeds reaching 135 kilometers an hour. A native of Russell, Manitoba, Jon Montgomery lives and trains in Calgary. Last season (2007/08) Jon earned one gold, two silver and one bronze medal on the World Cup Circuit, won his second Visa National Title in a row, and was ranked second in the world by the sport’s governing body, the Federation Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT).

“Corporate sponsors have become crucial partners for athletes competing at the world-class level,” explains Jon Montgomery. “I’m extremely grateful to have world-class sponsors and partners like Twist Marketing and Canterris. Their support and services will help recruit other sponsors so I can better focus on training, racing and making it to the medal podium at the 2010 Winter Olympics.”
