                             ("MKM" or the "Group")
                                 Trading Update

The Board of MKM, the specialist marketing services company, is pleased to make
the following trading update prior to announcing its interim results for the six
months ending 30 September 2007 in November.

MKM has announced two acquisitions in the past nine weeks.  The purchase of the
Leapfrog Group ("Leapfrog"), the Australian-based sales promotion company,
announced on 3 August 2007, represents a transformational development, more than
doubling MKM's turnover and providing a significant opportunity to expand into
new geographic markets. The acquisition of Promodus, the London based marketing
and communications consultancy, announced in a separate statement issued today,
is also highly complementary and strengthens the Group's UK operations.

In the period since 31 March 2007, MKM Concepts Limited has continued to develop
both its existing client relationships, renewing its contractual positions with
some important longstanding clients and securing new clients. Much of this has
been underpinned by the business's new web-based database programme, StARS,
which supports MKM Concepts' move to a more solutions based approach. In
addition, the Group has recently launched a range of ecologically friendly
offers under the 'Green Suite' brand name.

Leapfrog has maintained and strengthened its market position through product
innovation and focussing on long term client relationships. Since 31 January
2007 (the last reported financial position in the Admission Document dated 3
August 2007) Leapfrog has secured significant client wins within the retail,
financial services and consumer electronics sectors.

To further enhance its reach into the marketplace, Leapfrog has also established
a more rigorous marketing programme that includes testing search-engine
marketing initiatives and enhancing their marketing and sales materials.  This
initiative is expected to drive further client wins in the future.

The Group's plan to integrate the MKM UK and the Leapfrog Asia-Pacific
businesses has commenced and is well on track.

The Board looks forward to updating shareholders further when MKM's interim
results are announced.
