Clockwork Home Services Announces Winner of $26,000 Cash Prize

Orlando Man Wins National Competition with "Rapping Ben Franklin" Video
Promoting Benjamin Franklin Plumbing

SARASOTA, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Clockwork Home Services, Inc. selected an animated video produced by John Hill
of Orlando, FL as the winner of the company`s "Win $26k" competition to support
its nationally branded home services franchises. The winning video, which may be
viewed on-line at www.win26k.com, features the company`s Benjamin Franklin
cartoon character performing a rap tune that promotes the services of Benjamin
Franklin Plumbing, one of Clockwork`s franchise companies. Clockwork executives
will award the $26,000 cash prize to Hill in Orlando on January 17, which is
Benjamin Franklin`s birthday.

"John Hill`s rapping Ben Franklin exhibits the creativity and talent we were
seeking," said Clockwork CEO Jim Abrams. "Our `Win $26k` promotion generated
more than 15 million impressions and over 800 entry registrations, allowing us
to use the Internet to exponentially expand the reach of our message: We are the
only on-time, no-lose proposition offering high quality plumbing, electrical,
and heating & air conditioning services to homeowners." The company is
considering how it will use Hill`s video to further promote the Benjamin
Franklin brand.

"I`ve always been interested in animation as a hobby," said Hill, a 27-year-old
mortgage loan officer who is married and has a four-year-old son. "The $26,000
is going to help us out a lot. We'll be able to pay off all our credit cards and
the rest is going in the bank!"

The company launched the "Win $26k" campaign in October 2008 with a full-page
advertisement in USA Today. The ad and related web site encouraged consumers to
compete for a $26,000 cash prize by creating short videos promoting Clockwork`s
brands: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky America`s On-time Electrician,
and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. Clockwork supports more than 560
franchises and corporate-owned locations across the three brands in the United
States and Canada.

"From our franchisees` perspective, this national competition raised consumer
awareness of our brands to a whole new level," said Tab Hunter, Clockwork`s
president of franchise operations. "While others may be reducing their marketing
investments in the face of tough economic times, Clockwork believes the timing
was ideal to boost consumer awareness of the essential home services we
provide."
