Free custom publishing service for marketing professionals puts money where the content is.

Cleveland, OH (February 4, 2009)-During this time of economic stress, many marketers are standing on the sidelines waiting for the recovery. Junta42 is helping to get them back into the game.

Junta42 Match, which launched late last summer as the custom publishing industry's only marketer-publisher matchmaking service, is announcing a new contest today in honor of surpassing their 100^th content-vendor match last month. The contest "$4200 in 42 Days" will give $4200 toward a marketer's content project, just for using the Junta42 Match service during the 42-business-day period of February 4^th (2/4) through April 2^nd (4/2). The winner, selected via random drawing, will be announced on April 24^th via online video.

"We know times are tough out there," stated Joe Pulizzi, founder of Junta42 and co-author of Get Content. Get Customers.  "Many of the marketing professionals we've chatted with have big plans for creating their own content - but they are holding back. We're hoping $4000 plus motivates content marketers to start investing in valuable, relevant and compelling content, provided by our expert custom publishers."

For its first 100 matches, the service found custom publishers for a number of leading brands, including Research in Motion (makers of BlackBerry smartphones), First Midwest Bank, and Oldcastle Architectural, Inc., as well as small businesses such as Arke Systems and Affordable Creative Services.

"Content marketing is all about getting the right material to your target audience at the right time. Junta42 gets it and matches you with the best publisher to produce content for your target buyer," says Eric Bensley from Citrix Systems.

"We really liked having the ability to go to a central place to find a content vendor," stated  from United Methodist Communications.

To use the service, a marketer simply needs to complete a brief online questionnaire at Junta42. Content projects - such as custom magazines, newsletters, web content, white papers and blogs - are then matched with custom publishers and content providers based on project, content and audience expertise. Junta42's custom publisher database includes over 90% of the top custom publishers in North America.
