Cayenne 1H2007
Public Relations - We have completed 6 product and company launches so far in 2007 -- for Apache Design, Certess, Lightspeed Logic, and Solido Design. We look forward to serving all of our clients as they raise awareness, increase sales, differentiate themselves in the marketplace and execute their marketing and communications strategies.
Tradeshows and Events – We had a record year at DATE with 6 clients at the show and 18 clients on the show floor at DAC 2007. We supported 4 clients in organizing successful customer and company events at DAC, including Apache Design Solutions' “Kick Off” customer event which hosted more than 2000 attendees who enjoyed live music, cocktails and refreshments, at the end of the first day of the show! Thanks for your continuing confidence in us. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make 2008 even better for you.
