TMP Worldwide Changes Corporate Name to Monster Worldwide, Inc.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2003--TMP Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:TMPW - News), one of the world's leading suppliers of human capital solutions, including the pre-eminent Internet career portal Monster®, today announced the change of its corporate name to Monster Worldwide, Inc., effective May 1, 2003.

In addition, on May 1 the company's Nasdaq ticker symbol will change to "MNST" and its corporate website address will become www.monsterworldwide.com.

"Changing our name to Monster Worldwide clearly conveys that our full focus is now on maximizing the potential growth and value of Monster," said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TMP Worldwide. "With the staffing and search spin-off completed, the company's main goal is to propel Monster forward and fully leverage its synergies with our other two dynamic businesses, which are category leaders in their own rights and have long made significant contributions toward fueling Monster's growth and enhancing its leadership position."

The company's three core business units will retain the equity of their sub-brands and continue to operate as Monster, TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications and TMP Worldwide Directional Marketing, respectively. The decision to have Advertising & Communications and Directional Marketing keep the TMP Worldwide brand reflects the strong recognition and high level of trust associated with it in the recruitment advertising and Yellow Pages industries. In addition, both of these units will soon carry the added brand endorsement of "a division of Monster Worldwide" to more clearly link them back to the parent company.

Mr. McKelvey concluded, "We firmly believe that operating as Monster Worldwide will enable everyone to draw a more intuitive connection between our many service offerings and our parent company, and thus create broader opportunities for the company as a whole."
