& partners with Big Man Creative Inc. for promotion and ad sales

Laguna Hills, CA – August 15, 2001 – BIG MAN CREATIVE INC, a creative services firm providing marketing consulting and graphic design services, announces a new marketing and newsletter management partnership with CHRISTIAN MUSICIAN Magazine.

Christian Musician’s monthly email newsletter, counterpart to the offline print magazine, recently passed the 10,000-subscriber level. Having reached that milestone, Publisher Bruce Adolph has debuted the first ever opportunity for advertisers to reach his highly targeted audience of musicians who are also Christians via this newsletter and has entered an agreement where Big Man Creative will provide complete marketing support and list management services including newsletter editorial, representation of advertising sales, list growth, list hosting and administration.

Inquires and ad placement requests will be handled via Big Man Creative’s Scott A. Shuford at 949-206-9806 or at ads@christianmusician.com. The July issue of the newsletter was the first to include advertisements and sold out. Debut advertising rates for the newsletter are $350 per text ad and include a headline, link and approximately 75 words. Volume discounts are available.

Scott A. Shuford, a Partner at Big Man Creative, has a 10 year history of entertainment industry sales and marketing, including the growth of Crosswalk.com’s Music Channel newsletter lists from zero to over 100,000 subscribers during his tenure there.

About Christian Musician Magazine www.christianmusician.com

Christian Musician is the only magazine of its kind, aimed at nationally signed musicians and performers, church musicians and staff, worship and music leaders, and aspiring musicians who are also Christians. The audience is part of the fastest growing segment of modern music today. In 2000, Christian recorded music products sales rose another 33%! This significant niche audience is extremely loyal and often turned off by editorial and advertising in other more "mainstream" musician-oriented publications. Editorial includes artist interviews, musician and spiritual issue features, gear and album reviews, instructional columnists, and more. Circulation of the print magazine is a blend of paid subscribers and retail sales (Barnes & Noble, Hastings, Tower Records and Christian retail outlets.)
