      Diverse Media Group’s (Pink Sheets: DVME) 
      subsidiary Diverse Talent Group has proven itself to be a rock 
      solid force in Hollywood as it holds the prestigious position of the 
      world’s 10th largest 
      talent agency. In the new Talent Agency Rankings just published by the 
      award winning Los Angeles Business Journal, Diverse Talent Group 
      has again claimed its foothold among the top industry leaders.
    
    
      Ranked 14th in 2002, the same year pacesetter 
      Creative Artist Agency took the first position away from the iconic 
      William Morris Agency, Diverse Talent Group moved rapidly up the ranks 
      to the 12th position by 2004. It was in 2006 
      that Diverse first reached a milestone and made it into the top 10 out 
      of more than 300 agencies.
    
    
      The company was originally founded in 1982 as CNA & Associates; the 
      Agency was later merged with Susan Sussman’s 
      Premiere Artists Agency and renamed Diverse Talent Group. The Company 
      offers talent and literary representation in motion pictures, 
      commercials, episodic television and cable programming, in addition to 
      project packaging and distribution. With a roster of high-profile 
      clients and a mix of developing prospects, Diverse Talent Group is a 
      robust organization building on its foundation of talent-based 
      commissions and television and film packaging revenues.
    
    
      Diverse Talent Group’s highly valued assets 
      consist of a client base that range in scope from Academy-Award® 
      winners and top sitcom artists, to hourlong drama directors, editors and 
      producers. It is this extensive client base that has propelled Diverse 
      Media Group’s rise to its current preeminent 
      position in Hollywood. This client roster provides the Agency with 
      recurring and ongoing revenues as the Agency receives percentages of all 
      proceeds generated from its celebrity clients. Additionally, Diverse 
      engages in high-margin development projects for television and film. The 
      Agency’s strong creative team has developed a 
      specialty in producing packages for film and television that provide 
      additional revenue streams as part of a diverse strategic growth plan.
    
    
      Chris Nassif, president and founder of Diverse Talent Group, says: “We 
      have been consistently moving up the ranks and have demonstrated our 
      ability to thrive in a competitive environment. Having accomplished a 
      solid foothold as one of the industry’s top 10 
      agencies, our next target is focused on the top five and we are pulling 
      the trigger.”
    
    
      The start of the 2009 television season marks the beginning of a welcome 
      industry turnaround, after last year’s strike 
      by the Writers Guild of America cut short the 2008 season. The industry 
      publication Mediaweek™ reports that “premiere 
      week was a good week for broadcasters, as viewers returned to network 
      shows in large numbers.” Diverse Talent Group 
      currently has numerous actors with regular or recurring roles, as well 
      as producers, directors and writers working on shows airing on 
      ABC (Disney), CBS (CBS Corp), Fox (News Corp), and NBC (General 
      Electric) as well as many other networks. Nassif added, “The 
      entertainment industry has historically done very well during economic 
      hard times and that trend seems to be holding true as our current 
      economy roller coasters. We are not only located in the epicenter of the 
      entertainment industry but after many years of persistence we are now 
      positioned to make our move and the timing is now right.”
