October 25, 2010 - Avnet Electronics Marketing Goes Platinum and Gold at NEDA Awards

Chicago -- Platinum and gold are usually designations for hit songs or albums, but Avnet Electronics Marketing (EM) Americas recently received some without playing a single note.

Its platinum and gold came from the National Electronics Distributors Association's (NEDA) 2010 Channel Marketing Awards. EM Americas won one platinum award for its full-page medical ad, and five gold awards in the Image Advertising - Complete Campaign, Corporate Newsletter, Corporate Capability Brochure and Industry Advocacy categories.

"Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas is pleased with its terrific showing at the NEDA 2010 Channel Marketing Awards," says Ian Basey, EM Americas' vice president of marketing. "Better yet, we picked up momentum from last year thanks to outstanding work by our integrated marketing and product marketing teams."
