Monstermoving.com Launches Second Annual ''Make Your House a Home'' Sweepstakes; Offers Relocating Consumers a Chance to Win $10,000 for Home Improvement Projects

NEW YORK, Aug 28, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Due to the excellent response to last year's "Make Your House a Home" sweepstakes, Monstermoving.com, a leading online source of relocation information and a brand extension of Monster(R), the flagship brand of TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), today announced the return of this popular sweepstakes. The second annual "Make Your House a Home" sweepstakes offers Monstermoving.com site visitors an opportunity to enter and win a variety of decorating, remodeling and home improvement-related prizes, including a grand prize of $10,000.

During the final stages of peak moving season, which runs from May through October, millions of recently relocated American families are settling into their new residences and embarking on major decorating or remodeling projects. The sweepstakes, which will run for 7 weeks through October 11, aims to assist these relocating consumers as they begin "feathering the nest" in their new home. In addition to the exciting grand prize, Monstermoving.com will also award weekly $100 "home improvement" gift certificates redeemable at leading home improvement, home decorating and home furnishing retailers.

"Relocation can be an expensive undertaking, leaving families with little cash reserve to spend on necessary home improvement projects such as remodeling and redecorating," said Chip Smith, Senior Vice President Marketing and Business Development, Monstermoving.com. "As demonstrated by this sweepstakes, Monstermoving.com is committed to providing consumers with the tools and resources to successfully manage all stages of the relocation process - before, during and after the move."

Sweepstakes registration is available via the Monstermoving.com homepage www.monstermoving.com. Site visitors can register for the sweepstakes drawings once per week.
