Bridges.com Inc. (TSE:BIT) announces the establishment of a new corporate communications team. Heading up the three-person team will be Mr. Norm Thompson, Vice President of Corporate Communications. In this role, Mr. Thompson will assume responsibility for establishing and maintaining communications with the public, financial community and media in both Canada and the United States.

"Now that Bridges.com has a 25 per cent share of market in North American schools, we intend to broaden our business plan," said Doug Manning, CEO and President of Bridges.com. "As we do this, enhanced corporate communication is a necessity."

"While Bridges.com is a market-leading company in the emerging digital marketplace, it is largely unknown to the public and financial community," said Norm Thompson. "Through high-quality investor response services, proactive telephone work, strategic presentations and broad marketing of our corporate achievements, we intend to make Bridges.com much better known."
