(the "Company" or "MeeMee") (OTCQB:MEME) Executive Chairman, Martin Doane, announced today that its Brazilian digital content developer, Vida Media, LLC ("Vida Media") has signed a business development agreement with BabyFirst, the world's leading baby-focused media and merchandising company.

Recently MeeMee announced an agreement with Vida Media under which Vida's principals, media industry veterans, Peter Heumiller and Karl Loriega, became Senior Consultant Executives in MeeMee's content division, and key members of MeeMee's strategy group. Vida's business plan is expected to form the basis of MeeMee's new video content division.

Doane added: "The BabyFirst deal further confirms that Vida can develop major digital content business in Brazil for MeeMee and deliver on the Company's strategy of enriching the content pipeline of our other planned acquisition, a leading mobile content and services company in Brazil, and taking advantage of its massive distribution platform which reaches over 700 million cellular subscribers in 18 countries throughout Latin America ("Mobile Co."). We believe it also provides a key piece for our planned mobile marketing and advertising business, which we intend to launch immediately after completion of the Mobile Co. transaction. Moreover, Peter and Karl add tremendous strength to our leadership team."
Peter Heumiller of Vida Media commented on the BabyFirst deal: "BabyFirst is the world's leading and most respected baby-focused media and educational merchandise brand and its linear network and digital content offerings are now available in over 81 Million homes worldwide. It is a brand and content that parents, especially new moms, have come to trust. Brazil has a young population with many new families and we feel the brand and programming is perfect for the region. We are honored that BabyFirst has recognized our connections in Brazil and selected us to lead their growth efforts in the region."
BabyFirst's CEO, Guy Oranim, added: "Brazil is a major focus of growth for BabyFirst. There is a large new middle class of consumers and many new families emerging. BabyFirst will localize our content into native Brazilian Portuguese programming to capture this audience. Karl and Peter have impressed us with their deep distribution partnerships and market intelligence and they are already bringing us deals. We look forward to continuing and growing our relationship with Vida Media and building a thriving Brazilian business together."
