SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Electronics, a UBM company and the daily source of essential business and technical information for the electronics industry's decision makers, today announced Community Activation Platform (CAP), a new integrated marketing program that enables electronics marketers to drive deeper engagement with engineers by generating meaningful conversations, customer leads, asset downloads and market research.

The core of the CAP program provides clients with an exclusive sponsorship of an online community that delivers 100 percent share of voice and sole ownership of a targeted community of professionals. Electronics marketers can purchase CAP's core program or customize the program by integrating marketing modules including leads, branding, and market education to meet business objectives.

CAP's high level of audience engagement comes from a combination of authoritative content to attract decision makers; extended integration with social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn; and a state of the art multimedia platform that provides a simple way for users to interact. The CAP program utilizes core functionality deployed in UBM's "Community in a Box" platform. This platform powers nine distinct award-winning communities, including UBM Electronics' Design News and EBN.

"Meeting today's business objectives is more critical than ever for electronics marketers.  We have created CAP to help them create deeper levels of engagement with the engineering community," said David Blaza, VP, UBM Electronics. "We continue to listen to the needs of our audience and are pleased to offer new strategic marketing services solutions that will help increase technology sales in the electronics industry and enable UBM Electronics to follow its growth strategy of reach services and commerce."
