Apr 3, 2006

CMP Media's Electronics Group today launched the EE Marketing Solutions Guide (www.IsYourAudienceListening.com) a multi-solution marketing portal for small-to-mid sized electronics companies seeking customized marketing solutions. The EE Marketing Solutions portal has been developed specifically to help small-to-mid sized companies reach the creators of technology -- those engineers, engineering managers and executives -- who influence they way we live, work and play.

The EE Marketing Solutions Guide enables small-to-mid sized electronics companies to access the global electronics technology marketplace through CMP Media's comprehensive electronics group portfolio. For greatest impact, these businesses can customize a marketing plan to fit their unique needs -- using print, online and events to mix and match those choices best suited to their needs, budgets and other internal resources.

"This is an essential marketing tool for any small-to-mid sized electronics technology business," said Paul Miller, senior vice president and group publisher of CMP Media's Electronics and Software Development Group. "The EE Marketing Solutions Guide offers an integrated marketing portfolio to all companies looking to make a significant impact within the global electronics marketplace."

For more information, visit the EE Marketing Solutions Guide at (www.IsYourAudienceListening.com). Visitors will be prompted to answer a series of specific marketing goal-related questions. Once the questions are answered and assessed, which takes approximately five minutes, companies will be guided towards solutions most suited to their needs based on budgets, timelines, primary audience targets within the electronics world, and overall marketing goals from lead generation to industry relationship building tactics and strategies.

"CMP Media understands the unique marketing challenges facing small-to-mid size electronics businesses," said Stephen Corrick, global sales director of CMP Media's Electronics Group. "This resource provides companies with precise and powerful opportunities to reach out to their customers and build stronger relationships."
