The Devon Group Wins BMA Pro-Comm Award for Best Online PR

MIDDLETOWN, NJ--(Marketwire - October 13, 2009) - The Devon Group, a public relations and marketing services firm, today announced it has won the Business Marketing Association Pro-Comm Award in the Best Online PR category for its interactive campaign for Veritude, a leading staffing services provider.

The campaign, "A Temp's Eye View: Optimizing Your Temporary Workforce," generated numerous online placements in key trade magazines, the Associated Press, and a wide range of blogs.

The cornerstone of the campaign was original research from Veritude that underscores how temporary workers are a powerful component of a well-balanced workforce; however, to truly maximize their value and achieve business objectives, HR leaders and hiring managers must "manage to" the particular needs of temporary workers.

Throughout its 15-year history, many companies have relied on The Devon Group to promote brands, products and services in local, trade and national media outlets as well as new and emerging social media platforms.

"We are extremely proud to be recognized for excellence in the Best Online PR category by the BMA," said Jeanne Achille, CEO of The Devon Group. "The award recognizes the strength of our position as a business-to-business marketer and expertise in digital communication. As organizations look to solidify or establish their online reputation, Devon has the skills, staff and technology to create relevant messages that resonate with target audiences through carefully designed metric-based PR campaigns."
