In 2009 an events division was launched through a Wedding exhibition, TotallyJewishSimchas.com, at the Village Hotel, Elstree, Herts. The exhibition was attended by over 1,500 visitors and 80 paying exhibitors. A series of Q&A sessions with high profile political leaders saw David Milliband and Boris Johnson face questions from over 150 paying Jewish News readers and in Q Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague continued this high profile initiative. An aggressive marketing campaign was launched which included the creation of a new media pack and website, TheJNgroup.com as well as individual promotional websites for each of the two magazines in the divisions portfolio, Pulse ( and TJ Simchas Magazine ( A show reel promoting the work of the JN Media Group is expected to be launched in Q Outlook for 2010

3 The aim is to continue to develop and expand the portfolio including the launch of an Education exhibition for the Jewish community. Combined with the annual Wedding exhibition the short to medium term objective is to grow the revenue of the event division for the events division so that it accounts for 10% of the publishing division's revenues. Exhibitions are seen as a growth area and provide a realistic cross selling opportunity to existing clients within the division. The annual Celebrations magazine, TotallyJewishSimchas, will be published quarterly. The lifestyle magazine, Pulse, is already published four times a year which will mean eight glossy magazines will be published in 2010 Digital Marketing Division Overview Totally Communications, "TC", the group's digital marketing business with three main service sectors: 1.
