Shazaaam! Public Relations Named a Crain's Cool Place to Work in Tough Times

SOUTHFIELD, MI, Nov 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
Although times are tough, some companies are bucking the trend by
remaining positive, being innovative, having fun, getting work done --
and are being recognized for it. Shazaaam! Public Relations LLC has been
just named by Crain's Detroit Business as the number one "Cool Place to
Work in Tough Times" in the 1 - 50 employees category. It is the second
time Shazaaam! has been named a Crain's "Cool Company." Crain's cited
Shazaaam! for its open-door communication policy, fun as a requirement in
the workplace, and flexible hours.

"I am very proud and honored to accept this award on behalf of my team,"
said Adrienne Lenhoff, Shazaaam! founder and president. "We have a great
dynamic in the workplace that helps us stay cool during these not-so-cool
economic times."

Crain's received nominations from employees throughout Metro Detroit and
asked company leaders to fill out a survey created by the American Society
of Employers on company benefits, practices and policies. Thirty-five
winning companies were chosen from the responses by Crain's as a 'Cool
Place.' Categories were assigned according to employee sizes and based on
point totals.

Shazaaam! and the other 34 cool companies will be honored at an awards
ceremony on December 2, 2009 at the Emagine Theater and Lucky Strike in
Novi, Mich. Dr. Bob Nelson, author of "Keeping Up in a Down Economy," will
kick off the event with a seminar, followed by the awards ceremony, and
afterglow.

Lenhoff added, "We have been extremely fortunate this year. Just last
month we were named one of 'Metropolitan Detroit's 101 Best and Brightest
Companies to Work For' by the Michigan Business and Professional
Association. In addition, we've expanded our client base significantly
this year, especially in social media marketing. We will continue to stay
consistent in our work ethic so we can remain a Crain's Cool Place to Work
even when times are not so tough!"

Full day tickets are $99 per person; seminar only tickets are $60 per
person; awards and afterglow tickets are $50 per person. Group rates are
available. For questions or to register, call (313) 446-0300 or go to
