“We are honored and very excited to win this award,” said Bill Dierberger, president, Skyline Exhibits. “It recognizes the culture of innovation that is at the core of this company and has been since we were founded in 1980. Innovation is a vital part of who we are because we strive each and every day to provide novel solutions to our customers’ challenges.”

The Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC) in Malaysia recently won international recognition from the Meetings Industry Marketing Awards with a gold award for best print advertising campaign for the center’s “Sarong Song” marketing campaign in North America. The campaign was designed to draw attention to the KLCC and Malaysia as a meetings destination and will be expanded due to its success.

“The excellent response has prompted us to extend it to other international markets, including Australia and Europe,” said Datuk Peter Brokenshire, general manager, KLCC.

UFI, a global association of the exhibition industry, bestowed its 2012 marketing award upon Freeman for its “YOUR Freeman” exhibition booth design showcasing sound, color, lighting and projection options. Each visitor experienced a unique presentation based on their personal preferences and used touch-screen displays and tablets to provide the specific information sought from each attendee.

“Winning the UFI Marketing Award is a great honor for our company,” said Molly Casey, vice president of brand marketing, Freeman. “The opportunity to share the marketing strategies we’ve employed as well as the opportunity to learn from and network with other leaders in the global exhibition industry was a key driver behind our participation in the UFI competition and why we will do so again in the future.”
