St. Joseph Content / Pi Media is pleased to announce it has been selected as one of Sears Canada's top suppliers for 2007, winning its prestigious Partner in Progress Award for the 10th time.

Honouring their supplier-retailer partnerships since the 1980s, Sears Canada invited only their top 78 suppliers to attend this year's 26th Annual Partners in Progress dinner, Thurs., May 8, 2008. The Partners in Progress Award recognizes suppliers that best demonstrate Sears' spirit of partnership, excellence in customer service and continuous innovation.

"Our number one focus is to constantly look for new solutions and tools to enhance our partnership with Sears, and we work very closely with them to help provide a real advantage in a very competitive marketplace," says Steve Tyas, Vice President, Key Account Management for St. Joseph Content / Pi Media. "We're all very proud to have been selected as one of Sears' top partners for 2007."

St. Joseph Content / Pi Media forged a strategic partnership with Sears Canada in 1994 when Sears outsourced its retail flyer creative and production to Pi Media. In 2003, Sears expanded the partnership to include catalogues and awarded an unprecedented long-term commitment to Pi Media as its Content Partner of Choice. The mutual objectives and targets were to improve overall quality, improve speed-to-market and reduce overall cost.
