Kobie received the award in the Advertising-Marketing-Fulfillment category for its work with the Verizon Business Link Rewards program. The award honors suppliers that deliver exceptional marketing strategies, creative efforts, and outstanding results.

"Verizon is focused on delivering the best customer experience, so we expect the highest quality service from our vendors, which keeps us focused on the business of serving our customers,” said George Dowell, vice president of Supply Chain Services, Verizon Services Operations. “Kobie is among 10 vendors that have received a 2008 Verizon Supplier Excellence Award for delivering advanced products and services and for consistently demonstrating a commitment to excellence.”

Last year, Kobie’s loyalty marketing efforts resulted in numerous awards, including a prestigious 2008 DMA ECHO Award. Said Laura Costa, Account Director, “At Kobie we consistently strive to produce highly creative, strategically smart work that generates excellent results for our clients. We are greatly honored when our efforts are recognized by a client of Verizon’s caliber.”

“The commitment we make to Verizon, and all of our clients, is that we will never sacrifice our existing clients’ needs for new business,” said Michael Hemsey, President of Kobie Marketing. “This award, received during a year of unprecedented growth for Kobie, is validation that it’s a commitment we keep.”

Laura Costa, Sharon Avery, and Nancy Berg, Kobie’s Account Director, VP of Marketing Services, and VP of Client Services, respectively will represent the company at this year’s ceremony, which will be hosted by Verizon in New Jersey on April 1, 2009.
