Announcing the New Staffmark: Midwest-Based CBS Personnel, Staffmark, and Venturi Staffing under One Umbrella Brand

The Staffmark Name Represents Nearly 40 Years of Connecting Employers and
Employees
CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Announced yesterday to its internal audiences, Staffmark is now the name of the
combined CBS Personnel, Staffmark, and Venturi Staffing, and will be recognized
by a new corporate identity. The Staffmark name leverages the longevity,
credibility, and experience of CBS Personnel, Staffmark, and Venturi Staffing,
with the brand name recognition of Staffmark. As part of its strategic growth
plan, CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, acquired
Venturi Staffing in 2004 and Staffmark in 2008, more than doubling the size of
the company and creating a significant national presence. The decision to
rebrand the three companies under the Staffmark name is the result of twelve
months of strategic planning, with emphasis on gathering broad-based feedback
from customers and employees throughout all geographic locations. The Company`s
objective was to bring together the best qualities of all three companies to
create a new kind of staffing company focused on building long-term partnerships
with its customers.

CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc., was founded in Ohio in 1970 and for nearly 40
years has been one of the largest staffing solutions providers in the Midwest.
The Company, under the Staffmark brand, will continue to maintain its Midwest
focus as it continues to grow and expand nationally.

"The new Staffmark represents nearly forty years of staffing expertise and a
tremendous amount of passion and commitment to connect the right employees with
the right employers," noted Frederick L. Kohnke, President and CEO of Staffmark.
"Our people are empowered to bring innovative ideas to the table, delivering a
highly customized level of service and continually exceeding customer
expectations. Our business focus resonates in our new tagline `Exceptional
People.Exemplary Results.` We see this rebranding as a reflection of what our
customers said made our company unique in the industry," Kohnke continued.

The new Staffmark corporate identity, developed by international brand design
agency LPK, headquartered in Cincinnati, leverages the color blue (from the CBS
Personnel and Venturi Staffing brands) with three concentric circles that
represent the connectedness of Staffmark, its customers, and temporary
employees. Inside the concentric circles, the letter `S` is formed representing
the synergy created through a successful staffing partnership. The new name and
logo are representative of Staffmark`s approachability, financial strength and
stability, and visionary aspect of the company.

The new identity will be deployed throughout CBS Personnel, Venturi Staffing and
Staffmark offices in a transitioned rollout over the next 12-18 months.
