TaxMasters to Release New Television Advertising for Fall 2010

HOUSTON, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TaxMasters, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TAXS), the IRS tax relief company and a leading provider of tax representation services, recently completed shooting a new television ad that will begin airing this fall.

TaxMasters television commercials are identifiable almost immediately. Featuring the founder and CEO, Patrick Cox, the typically 30-second spots deliver a direct and clear message to taxpayers who are experiencing difficulties with the IRS. The television ads have varied slightly over the years, but stick to the same core messaging delivered by the easily recognizable tax expert with a beard, Patrick Cox.

"TaxMasters has a strong presence on cable — not only because of its services, but because of its well-known spokesperson, Patrick Cox. Because it is a powerful way to reach potential clients, the company owns daytime advertising on cable for the tax representation industry," said Roby Wilson, owner of MaXXimedia, the agency that produces TaxMasters ads and handles its media placement. "His messaging is clear and the appeal is simple. If you have a notice from the IRS, it's serious and TaxMasters can help. The consistency of messaging has built incredible brand recognition for TaxMasters and face recognition for Patrick Cox. He can't go anywhere without someone asking, 'Hey, aren't you that tax guy?'"

The new ad campaign will premier on major cable networks this fall. Wilson indicated that while the graphics and colors will change, the messaging will remain largely consistent with Cox's original ads. MaXXimedia and TaxMasters are exploring new advertising concepts to debut in 2011.

"Since 2004, we've found that TV is a very effective channel for reaching our audience. Many taxpayers who find themselves in the IRS' spotlight simply don't know companies like TaxMasters exist until they see our ads," said Alex Clamon, VP of Sales and Marketing with TaxMasters. "We'll continue to reach out to them to provide a complete suite of tax relief, compliance and audit practices designed to help individuals and small businesses."
