ATI Petroleum (NYSE Euronext: MLATP), a subsidiary of ATI Group, announced today that it has engaged London-based Mulberry Marketing Communications to carry out a public relations, investor relations, and general marketing campaign in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Mulberry has extensive experience working with listed companies around the world, such as Everett, WA-based enterprise mobility products vendor Intermec, and Australia's Orica, which operates in similar industries to ATI Petroleum, such as mining.

The pitch process was spearheaded by Mulberry's office in San Francisco, which opened in September 2008, and has conducted project work for ATI Petroleum until now.

?We were very impressed by Mulberry's prior experience in addition to its global presence combined with relatively small size,? commented ATI Group CEO Dr. Huu Duc Dinh. ?The team has already demonstrated the ability to respond to our needs in quick and agile fashion, which is essential for us to achieve our goals in 2009.?

The campaign, which will initially start with outreach in North America, the UK, France, and the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), will expand in several months to also encompass China and Singapore. Media and analyst relations will be the primary focus of the campaign globally, however Mulberry is also engaged at present in a complete rebrand of ATI Petroleum including development of a new website, brochures, and other marketing materials. Additionally, Mulberry will engage in some direct marketing and new media outreach on ATI Petroleum's behalf.

The main emphasis of the campaign will be on raising awareness of ATI Petroleum's extensive activities around the world in energy resource exploration as well as commercial production. Additionally, Mulberry is tasked with educating investors and the public about the company's work in developing energy resources today, but also renewable energy sources for the future.

?ATI Petroleum is an extremely exciting company to be working with,? stated Dan Brown, managing director of Mulberry San Francisco. ?The company is positioned for huge growth over the next two years as energy consumption in the developing world continues to expand rapidly. Everyone at Mulberry is looking forward to a productive and successful year ahead.?
