UFC Star and Actor Rampage Jackson Signs Three-App Deal With MEDL Mobile
GlobeNewswire
2012-02-02

       The UFC Champion and Star of The A-Team Movie Takes a
     Creative Executive Post With MEDL to Develop Three Mobile
                             Game Apps

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDL Mobile,
Inc. (OTCBB:MEDL), a leader in mobile apps development, announced today
that Rampage Jackson, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship(R)) star and
film actor (The A-Team), has signed a three-app deal to develop mobile
games. Jackson, an active gaming enthusiast, has been appointed to the
role of Creative Game Development Executive at MEDL and will work
closely with its team of creative executives and programmers to develop
three games based on his ideas. The first app is slated for launch in
Spring 2012.

The three-app deal signifies a continuing trend of celebrities who are
marketing their own mobile apps to connect with their fans and extend
their brands into the fast-growing mobile apps market. Jackson is known
for being exceptionally engaged with his fans, which is partly why his
role in creating the apps will be much more in-depth and hands-on than
what is typical of a celebrity-branded app. While the apps will bear
Jackson's name, they will not necessarily reflect his UFC or acting
endeavors; rather, they will be based on his original ideas as a gamer.

"Rampage is a long-time avid gamer with great ideas that he's been
interested in developing for some time," said Todd Jacobs of William
Morris Endeavor. "This isn't a case of a celebrity stamping his or her
name or brand on a trendy product, but of a serious creative talent who
is looking to chart new territory for himself and for his fans who
share his passion for gaming."

"With Rampage's acting career taking off and his UFC achievements well
established, now is a perfect time for him to expand into mobile and
connect with his fans in a new way," said Dave Swartz, MEDL Mobile
co-founder and chief creative officer. "In his case, it's going to not
only provide another avenue for his brand, but an opportunity for him
to validate yet another one of his talents -- creative development."
