EC Group – one of the UK’s leading providers of outsourced marketing fulfilment and logistics services – is to sponsor the ‘Best Use of Business to Business’ Award in the Business Sector category of this year’s Direct Marketing Association (DMA) awards.
The DMA Awards are the best known and most sought after awards in the direct marketing industry calendar. They are designed to inspire clients and agencies to deliver on all aspects of their campaigns, including strategy, creativity and results.
The awards will be judged in October and presented on 8 December 2010. Chris Long, managing director of EC Group, has been invited to join the distinguished judging panel.
EC Group – which celebrates its 200th anniversary this year – has been involved in direct marketing since the 1950s. It was one of the first companies to introduce fulfilment and logistics services for the fledgling DM industry.
Today, EC Group continues to pioneer new forms of outsourced direct marketing services – including a one-stop package of integrated DM services at its multi-channel customer contact centres in Hayes, Middlesex and Grays, Essex. The company also offers state-of-the art response handling and fulfilment, integrated e-mail and e-commerce solutions, database management, and digital print-on-demand for online requests for brochures and leaflets.
The company has over three million cubic feet of secure storage space at its warehouse complexes in Hayes, Middlesex and Grays, Essex.
Chris Long, managing director of EC Group, says:
“As a specialist in outsourced business support services, we recognise the importance of promoting best practice and excellence. B2B marketing also requires exceptional creativity and strategic thinking in the current economic climate. That’s why we are pleased to honour the best exponents of this by sponsoring this year’s ‘Best Use of Business to Business’ Award.”
Mike Colling, chair of the DMA Awards Committee, says:
“We’re delighted that EC Group is sponsoring the B2B Campaign Award in the 2010 DMA Awards. As a long standing member of the DMA, EC Group has been a great advocate for suppliers of direct marketing and response handling services to clients within our industry.”
