Subject: Wimbledon update

I left Hannon a message that we PAID for the attention we got from
Wimbledon. It came out of the advertising budget. We did Kevin a favor by
trying to leverage our media budget to create new business for EBS. Am I
looking at this the right way?

I appreciated Margaret's update here but I was looking for a bit more.
Specifically I think we should determine a fair market value for the PR we
received from the event overall and I would like to transfer pay that amount
from Corp to EBS. I know that sounds a little agressive but if you think
about it the analysts are very focused on EBS's streaming revenue, which has
been tough to come by. Also it really is a net zero dollar amount to Enron
at the end of the day but hopefully value creating to the stock price. Hope
this is not a problem.

Hello Kevin,

David Tagliarino mentioned that you were interested in capturing the overall
exposure we received through the Wimbledon deal. I have summarized the main
visibility we received. There were several more "freebies" in the end, but
they are not accounted for in the following:

We had a total of 40 thirty-second commercials that ran on NBC and TNT (the
Turner Network). We also had 8-10 billboards which said "This portion of
Wimbledon was brought to you by Enron, a leading energy and broadband
services company." The broadcaster who announced the match also gave us plugs
by saying, "Watch this on the net at www.wimbledon.net, streamed by Enron."
There was a banner floating across the bottom of the page saying that as well.

Additionally we received ad time and billboards on ESPN, CNNsi and several
other networks. We had banners streaming on up to 10 websites, including
www.msnbc.com, www.cnnsi.com and www.wimbledon.net. There was also a static
banner on the Wimbledon Channel, no matter which site you watched it on
(Wimbledon, CNNsi or MSNBC). All the banners took you to a jump page we
created, located at www.enron.net/wimbledon.

At Wimbledon we had 12 courtside seats and 24 grounds passes. I was also
told that we had a small paid contract with FastTV.com to stream the archived
site. We released a press release on our services with IBM, IMG, TWII and
Wimbledon several days into the event; and EBS sent out an email to top
clients/potential clients directing them to the site. Business Week is also
releasing a profile on Enron in their upcoming eBiz section, which features
the Wimbledon Club as a customer.


Please let me know if you have any questions I can answer.

Have a great day, Margaret
