With only two weeks remaining in the program, this is a reminder to submit all of your activity reports to us by the end of the day on March 31st.

This is your chance to turn in ALL UNREPORTED ACTIVITY for the entire program. It is also once final push to boost your point totals for the final round of CASH REWARDS!!!

Each of you has a commitment to us to earn at least 100 points by the end of the program; you will be receiving an email with your current points total. Those of you who have not yet reached your contracted 100 points, will need to take the time to upload your photos and reports this week.

Don't forget to include MGD 64 in your St. Patrick's Day celebrations today!

TEAM MGD 64 UPDATES

brianlaw — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:34:55 GMT

Hey Everyone!

Can you believe February will already be over after tomorrow?! Where does the time go?

You all have been extremely active in promoting MGD 64 this past month which has been reflected in all of the activity reports coming in. Our Team Video Contest ended yesterday and we will be taking the next week to review the videos and determine the winners. Thank you to all who submitted a video!!

Just a reminder that we need you to submit all of your _un-reported _activity to date by Monday morning. The cash reward earners will be selected on Monday so be sure to keep yourself in the running!!

Earlier this week, the brand posted the MGD 64 product locator on www.mgd64.com. There is also a widget that is basically a smaller version of the locator that you can place on your personal pages and share with all of your friends. We highly encourage you to use and share this fun tool!

The widget is located: http://www.mgd64.com/locator/get_widget.html or can be downloaded from http://www.mgd64.com/.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Very Quiet

Neil Jacobson — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 07:19:21 GMT

The team must be doing something because I'm not "winning" every month. There's about one more month of this left. My AmEx "beer card" is depleted (it was supposed to last through the end of March). Races and events are starting to ramp up but I screwed up my shoulder about 3 months ago and it's still killing me so I can't do too much. What has everyone else been up to? Anyone up for slapping together a silly video?

MGD 64 in Consumer Reports

Neil Jacobson — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:06:25 GMT

Yes, it finally happened. That ultimate non-partisan judge of consumer value has weighed in on the light beer sector this month (Feb. 2009). Their unbiased testers took on MGD 64 and compared it against Miller Lite:

Tasters said that the beers have similar flavor and seem related to each other, but Miller Lite is slightly more complex and heavier-bodied, with a more intense flavor. MGD 64 is refreshing but seems much lighter in flavor and is a little watery. MGD 64's Web site cites malt and hop "cues." "Cue" is about right-it has little of the malty taste that defines beer. It also feels a little different, with lots of very small bubbles and lighter foam than Miller Lite had in our beer taste test.

"Very small bubbles"? That's hitting a beer where it hurts!

Vineman 2009

Ludog — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:50:40 GMT

Hey there everyone,

Anyone planning on doing the full Vineman in 2009 or know someone that is? I am trying to take advantage of the 3 for the price of 2 discount that they offer. If you or someone you know is interested in getting in on something like that, just let me know.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Luke

Holiday Goodie Packets!

Neil Jacobson — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:42:26 GMT

I guess you all saw this email:

Each of you should be receiving a Holiday Packet in the mail (via Fedex) in the next couple of days including:

A Holiday Card
13 MGD 64 Bottle Opener Key Chains
10 MGD 64 Informational Calorie Cards
3 MGD 64 Pedometers

I guess it'll be nice to have some extra stuff to give away but I really would like to have gotten that running hat that they nixed from the "athlete's packet".

Oh well.

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Photo Contest!!

brianlaw — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:06:32 GMT

Per our email that went out last week, here are the details regarding the MGD64 Holiday Photo Contest!!

We are hosting this contest during the month of December and it will run through January 5^th. You will have until 12:00pm PST on January 5th to get all of your photo submissions in to us.

WHAT: Here is your chance to get creative Team! We are looking for the best Holiday-themed photo tied to an MGD64 event/activity. The photos must be tasteful and appropriate to send to the client, so please keep that in mind when selecting which photo you will be entering.

All entries will be taken by email ONLY. Please send an email to teammgd64@active.com with your name, market, event location and a detailed description of the event/activity that you hosted on behalf of MGD64 and then attach your photo to the email.

*NOTE: you will still need to submit this event/photos to the Activity Reporting Form separately like you have been doing in order to receive your monthly points for the event. The contest submissions will be collected entirely separate from your weekly reporting through the team site.

Only one photo/entry per team member (if you over-submit we will only judge the last entry received from you)

JUDGING CRITERIA: Photos will be judged equally based on the following criteria:

o Creativity
o Relevance to this program and the MGD64 brand
o Positively promotes MGD64 brand
o Quality/clarity of image

Team Management will host the first round of judging and will narrow the entries down to the top five (5) photos.

Then, voting will be turned back into your hands. Each MGD64 team member will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the First, Second and Third place winners of the competition. (This will all be done via email)

PRIZING: First Place (1st): $100

Second Place (2nd): $75

Third Place (3rd): $50

Don't forget to have fun with this!!

Best,

Team MGD64 Management

Los Gatos Ride Tomorrow

Neil Jacobson — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:57:03 GMT

If you're interested, some folks from my triathlon club are doing a 25 mile (or so) bike ride tomorrow starting Los Gatos. Let me know if you'd like to join. The start time is 7:30am

Turkey Trot?

Neil Jacobson — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 01:23:56 GMT

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I have been out of commission for 3 weeks owing to a strained muscle. That meant that I have only been able to lay back and drink MGD64 which is a work out of another sort. In any event, I'm starting to feel better and I'm planning on doing the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot (slowly) tomorrow. I'll probably bring a fistful of coupons to hand out. Anyone else planning on attending?
