CMP Media's EE Times Receives 2005 Gold Circulation Excellence Award From Circulation Management Magazine

CMP Media's EE Times was recognized by Circulation Management Magazine with a Gold Circulation Excellence award, recognizing outstanding performance in circulation marketing and management topping the Business to Business category for publications with circulations over 100,000. The award was made at CMM's Extreme Circulation Conference in NYC on June 16.

"We're dedicated to being the definitive source of news, information and perspective for the creators of technology in the electronic engineering industry, and part of the power of EE Times and all the media properties under the CMP Media Electronics Group umbrella is the quality and reach of our audience," said Paul Miller, vice president and group publisher of the CMP Media Electronics Group. "It's an honor to be recognized amongst the industry's largest business to business titles with this Gold Circulation Award from Circulation Management Magazine, the highest award offered."

This newest recognition comes at a time when CMP Media's Electronics Group is realigning business and editorial strategy across its various print, online and event properties offering its readers, advertisers and strategic partners a fully integrated, comprehensive and truly unique messaging and media platform. The new strategy, which CMP calls "Heads Up/Heads Down," is a conceptualization of content delivery that addresses the intertwined nature of the electronics technology industry -- the people, events, technology, ideas and information that immediately affect the tech market, other markets, and our society-at-large. The "Heads Up/Heads Down" strategy disseminates different types of information to readers, online visitors and conference attendees across a mix of media vehicles aligned with the way they prefer to receive it, while providing advertisers and strategic partners a sophisticated integrated set of vehicles to target messages and effectively reach the largest number of electronics professionals worldwide. Details of the Heads Up/Heads Down strategy will be introduced to the public at the Embedded Systems Conference Boston, September 12-15, 2005.
