June 24 2010 - 8:00AM
EQ Labs, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EQLB) announced today that poker
superstar and celebrity spokesperson Vanessa Rousso has signed an
endorsement deal with EQ Labs. Ms. Rousso is the latest in a line
of international celebrities that are currently using EQ Energy
Drink. EQ labs is currently in the midst of negotiations with other
celebrities who are currently enjoying the benefits of "The Smart
Energy Drink."
Vanessa Rousso, a graduate of Duke University in only 2 ½ years,
studied law at the University of Miami. Ms. Rousso is one of the
best female poker players in the world. As of 2010, Ms. Rousso had
career earnings from live and online poker events in excess of $3.5
million. Excluding online winnings, she ranks among the top 5 women
in poker history in terms of all time winnings. She is a member of
the prestigious Team PokerStars® (http://www.pokerstars.net). In
addition, she signed an endorsement contract as a celebrity
spokesperson for Go Daddy in 2009. Ms. Rousso also appeared in the
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Ms. Rousso commented from the World Series of Poker®, "I'm so
happy to be part of the EQ Energy team! I have been working with
the CEO for a few weeks and I really believe in the product and the
company. The energy tablets are awesome. They taste great, are
super portable, and of course, give me a real energy boost."
Rousso continued, "As a professional poker player, my energy
levels and mental acuity are of the utmost importance. If I
lose my focus for just one second, it could cost me a tournament
and millions of dollars. I've been using EQ at the World
Series of Poker and I love it so far. My favorite time to use EQ is
after dinner when everyone gets sleepy. EQ keeps me alert and
focused when my opponents are ready for bed. I keep a tube of
EQ tablets at the table and add them to a bottle of water whenever
I need some energy. EQ is the perfect energy supplement for
me! I can't wait until everyone knows how amazing and convenient EQ
really is."
With regard to future plans, Rousso added, "My deal with EQ is
going to be across the board. I will do promotional events,
commercials, and business development with my existing businesses
and business relationships. I've always been an entrepreneur
and I can't wait to start being involved in EQ marketing and
promotion."
Ms. Rousso's agreement with EQ Labs began on June 15th, 2010 and
will last 1+ years. As compensation, she received restricted
shares.
Maurice Owens, Chief Executive Officer of EQ Labs, stated, "We
are extremely happy to be able to announce that not only does
Vanessa enjoy our product but she also used the product at the
world's premier annual poker event. This deal with Vanessa allows
us to reach a national television audience."
Owens continued, "Vanessa is smart and attractive and she is the
embodiment of what our product represents. She will be an
instrumental part of our national marketing campaign."
