Entrepreneur Takes Finalist Spots for New Event and Social Media Programs

Posted on: Tuesday, 11 August 2009, 05:00 CDT

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneur has been announced as a min Integrated Marketing Award finalist in the categories of New Event Program and Social Media Program. The awards recognize multi-channel marketing excellence among magazine brands.

"We're excited to be recognized for our strength in developing integrated programs that maximize results for our advertisers across all platforms," says Ryan Shea, VP/corporate publisher of Entrepreneur Media Inc. "These programs emphasize our expertise in developing tools and services that engage a vital business audience, the ultimate requisite for any advertiser to achieve its goals."

Within the New Event Program category, min honors Entrepreneur as a finalist candidate for Entrepreneur(R) magazine's Entrepreneur of 2008 and Growth 2.0 Conference. In its inaugural year, the conference was the culmination to a 12-month, fully integrated, cross-platform campaign designed to assist The UPS Store(R) in becoming a meaningful resource for entrepreneurs of startup, emerging and established businesses.

The event was entirely FREE to registrants and honored two entrepreneurs (chosen by the entrepreneurial community) within a full-day's agenda incorporating actionable resources and tools for small-business owners. The 2009 contest and event are already under way. To learn more or to vote for your favorite established, emerging and college entrepreneur, visit www.entrepreneur.com/e2009.

For the Social Media Program category, Entrepreneur holds the finalist position with Entrepreneur(R) Connect(TM) at http://econnect.entrepreneur.com/, an online social networking destination and business-to-business marketplace for entrepreneurs. In less than a year, over 33,000 members have harnessed the power of the Connect community. The energy of Connect members has created a thriving community where entrepreneurs tell the world about their businesses and discover a boundless network of opportunities available by geography, product, service or expertise--all through a standalone platform. Phase II expansions of the social media network are already under way.

Min will salute Entrepreneur for its marketing excellence at an awards gala at the Grand Hyatt in New York on Sept 16, when the category winners will be announced. Entrepreneur will also be included in special editorial coverage on minonline, min and min's b2b.

"Innovative and client-centric marketing programs win the day as magazine brands are proving that their engagement with their communities reach far and deep," notes Diane Schwartz, vice president and group publisher of min. "The Integrated Marketing Awards finalists underscore the power of partnerships between agencies, advertisers and magazine brands to serve their audiences in smarter and more engaging ways."
