Two New Clients Tap Brewer Direct

Monrovia, CA - January 21, 2008 - Randy Brewer, President of Brewer Direct, Inc. has announced that two new clients, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Los Angeles County Alliance and Springs Rescue Mission of Colorado Spring, CO have selected the agency to provide marketing and fund raising services.

Following BDI's successful completion of an independent audit of its Donor Acquisition Program, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Los Angeles County Alliance extended an invitation to the agency to take over the creation and production of its donor newsletter.

"We were pleased with the professional approach and in-depth analysis Brewer Direct demonstrated in undertaking a difficult project", said newly appointed Alliance Director David Walker. "We are confident that they will continue to provide the same high-quality, relationship-building service as we move forward with this vital piece of donor communications."

According to Cindy Courtier, BDI Creative Director, the existing newsletter will be completely redesigned and refocused to provide donors with more information on the real work the Boys & Girls Club are doing. "We'll have more stories about the youngsters who are being helped; more information on local programs; and more ways people can be a part of this great organization."

Springs Rescue Mission

The agency will also begin the new year by adding the Springs Rescue Mission of Colorado Springs, CO to it growing list of urban rescue missions. This 12-year-old ministry which provides services to Colorado Springs, El Paso County and the Pike's Peak Region is one of the fastest growing non-profit organizations in Colorado Springs.

According to Chief Development Officer Joe Milligan, the Mission has enjoyed strong support from the city and has maintained its development programs internally since its inception. "As well as we were doing on our own, we began to realize that we needed to add a fund raising and marketing partner who could provide additional strategic direction and creative solutions."

The Mission is currently adding to its campus south of downtown Colorado Springs with the acquisition of an 8,000 square foot building which will allow it to double the size of its New Life program for men who are struggling with homeless or substance abuse.

In addition to Springs Rescue Mission and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Los Angeles County Alliance, Brewer Direct, Inc. clients include the Weingart Center Association of Los Angeles and ten other urban rescue missions across the United States.

We've been considering a more custom approach to direct mail for a few years, so when Randy Brewer launched his agency, rooted in fully custom programs it was very appealing to Wheeler. We had more than 10 years of history with Randy so he knew our results as well as our goals. Already we're pleased with the service we've received. It's great to have campaign themes, stories and photos begin with Wheeler...Our Mission...Our city and Our people. The Brewer Direct team has rolled up their sleeves and even looked for greater ways to integrate the direct mail across all medias within the Mission.
