Mood Media's Touch Partners with Qdoba Mexican Grill to Feature New Independent Music

Qdoba Mexican Grill continues its ongoing commitment to feature rising talent in the
indiesphere with this month's featured artist Ivan & Alyosha

DENVER, June 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Qdoba Mexican Grill, known for its wide
variety of fresh and innovative Mexican cuisine options, and Touch, the
experience design team of Muzak, recently acquired by Mood Media, have
partnered to promote rising independent music talent.  While Qdoba has
always featured indie-festival mainstays like Diego Garcia and the
Kopecky Family Band, Qdoba now features a new artist each month,
selected by Touch to sonically best reflect Qdoba's artisanal,
handcrafted aesthetic and reinforce Qdoba's passion for ingredients.
Every month, Touch selects the new artist, licenses a free download and
delivers it to Qdoba's website via a proprietary web player. During the
month of June, Qdoba.com is offering a free download of "Fathers Be
Kind" by Ivan & Alyosha, the duo who recently cracked the iTunes Top
100.

"The connection between fresh food and fresh talent is the crux of this
campaign. It is the 'must have' factor," said Doug Thielen, Qdoba's
Manager of Non-Traditional Marketing & Public Relations. "We rely on
the team at Touch to identify artists with the right sound at just the
right moment in their careers, and they have had a great track record."

As part of their shared commitment to indiesphere talent, Touch and
Qdoba partnered to promote many of these featured acts at a two-day
event during 2011's SXSW Festival in Austin, TX.  The event was ranked
by Pitchfork Media as one "not to miss" during SXSW.  The event
received 14,000 RSVPs and more than 2,000 VIP attendees sampled Qdoba's
new products.

Touch is currently developing a 'free download' campaign for visitors to
Qdoba's booth at the upcoming Village Voice 4 Knots Music Festival in
New York City's South Street Seaport (formerly the Siren Music
Festival.)

"A well-crafted music sponsorship is good for the recording artist, good
for the music label, and good for the sponsor," said Lorne Abony,
Chairman and CEO of Mood Media Corporation. "The key is finding ways to
extend the brand story through fully integrated media programs that
drive exposure from live events, in-store and online. That is where we
shine."
