OfficeMax Partners with JibJab to Bring Internet Sensation ElfYourself...

OfficeMax's174; Incorporated (NYSE: OMX), a leader in office products and services, and JibJab Media Inc., a leading innovator in online entertainment, today announced a partnership that brings OfficeMax'ss smash hit campaign, ElfYourself.com (http://www.elfyourself.com/), back to the web for a third annual holiday season of spreading cheer.

OfficeMax and JibJab, best known for online political parodies such as 'sThis Land's, began conversations following the 2007 holiday season when the companies scored the number one and number two positions respectively for fastest growing sites on the web, according to comScore. Over six weeks during the 2007 holiday season, ElfYourself received more than 193 million site visits, and more Americans were visiting ElfYourself.com (http://www.elfyourself.com/) than Facebook.com (http://www.facebook.com/), according to web measurement firm Quantcast.

ElfYourself enables users to create free personalized holiday eCards by uploading their photos and transforming themselves, family and friends into dancing elves. OfficeMax and JibJab have jointly enhanced the ElfYourself experience by increasing the number of elves a visitor can create, from four to five, as well as offering three new dances including a disco dance, country dance and the Charleston.

Over the past two holiday seasons, the elves have become not just a holiday tradition but a popular culture phenomenon that we hope generations will enjoy for years to come, said Bob Thacker, senior vice president of advertising and marketing for OfficeMax. This season, we'sre thrilled to offer consumers more digital capabilities to spread holiday cheer with our beloved elves.

This year ElfYourself will be running on JibJab'ss Starring You's174; Technology platform that not only enables users to create personalized online videos, but also get their personalized elves printed on greeting cards and holiday gifts such as ornaments, mouse pads, coffee mugs, and playing cards. For a small fee, users can also get a downloadable version of their video that they can watch offline, burn to a DVD or watch on their mobile devices.

OfficeMax'ss ElfYourself is the most successful viral marketing campaign in history, said JibJab'ss co-founder and CEO, Gregg Spiridellis. We'sre thrilled to be partners with OfficeMax and bring our unique creative capabilities and technology platform to their ground breaking ElfYourself campaign.
