SAN RAMON, CA – July 31, 2007 - Marketing solution consultancy Raine Media today announced the launch
of a branch-driven, on-demand marketing campaign application developed for the California State
Automobile Association (CSAA), an affiliate of the national AAA federation of motor clubs.
The project is expected to reduce project management time and manual processes by allowing branch
managers to log online to a secure website and choose from a pre-selected menu of branded marketing
materials. The system will provide “views” of programs and materials that are customized to the user’s position
and responsibilities in the organization, and will deliver an online proof “on-the-fly” of the proposed collateral
materials for swift approval and printing. The program concept of measured autonomy empowers front-line
employees to proactively market AAA products and services from their branch office.

“This branch-based, on-demand marketing collateral system will help CSAA
respond swiftly and effectively to the localized needs of their marketplace,”
said Bryan Throckmorton, director of sales, Raine Media.
“It is also designed to empower
branch employees to proactively serve their market community, and further
enhance career satisfaction and employee retention.”

The project is part of the organization’s strategic initiative to deliver branded member communications that
can be personalized in support of the local branch market. The initiative is projected to deliver:
- Significant cost savings for the fulfillment of member communications
- Payback of the initial project investment within one year of launch
- Employee empowerment to manage local marketing materials that meet corporate criteria
- Reduced cost-of-ownership (project coordination) and enhanced speed-to-market
- Technological leadership in responding to local market needs and timelines
- Streamlined internal processes, including the ability for managers at the branch-level to access and
create high-quality, consistent, branded materials

“The California State Automobile Association prides itself on the ability to meet
the needs of our customers, prospects and employees,”
said Virginia Vovchuck,
director of creative services, CSAA.
“Raine Media’s commitment to bring a strategic
and streamlined on-demand solution to bear with a quantified projection
of return on investment was a key factor in their selection for this program.”
