This week, the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) awarded TREW Marketing a MarCom Award.

TREW Marketing won its Gold Marcom Award for a promotional campaign around our downloadable e-book, Smart Marketing for Engineers. We stood out for our resourceful and creative approach to marketing a professional, well-branded publication.
To promote the book, the TREW crew used a variety of channels including web marketing, public relations, social media, email marketing, and a video, all timed around a global, technical industry conference.
“We pride ourselves in creating custom marketing plans and activities for our customers that support their business goals,” said Rebecca Geier, Principal of TREW Marketing. “It was only natural for us to create a successful campaign to promote our own product using the marketing strategies, channels, and activities that we recommend and implement for our customers.”
