STERN + ASSOCIATES ADDS THREE AWARDS TO ITS TROPHY CASE

New Jersey Agency Honored by Public Relations Society of America and Garden State Journalists Association

CRANFORD, N.J., June 7, 2007 – Stern + Associates (S+A), a rapidly growing public relations and marketing communications agency, recently added several communications awards to its inventory. The firm was honored by the Public Relations Society of America’s New Jersey Chapter (PRSA NJ) with both a 2007 Pyramid Award and an Honorable Mention for excellence in public relations, as well as by The Garden State Journalists Association for its compelling media materials.

“We are very proud to be recognized by New Jersey’s preeminent professional associations in our field,” said Susan Stern, founder and president of S+A. “It is a testament to the high level of service we provide, as well as our delivery of tangible results that truly impact our clients’ success.”

A coveted PRSA NJ Pyramid Award was presented to S+A in the Media Relations Category for its “Sustainability Initiative” program, designed for The Mohawk Group, a leading manufacturer of commercial carpeting. S+A’s public relations approach, coupling thought leadership-driven articles with strategic new product launches, successfully positions the company as a pioneer of environmentally friendly design practices.

Earning an Honorable Mention from PRSA NJ, S+A’s Thought Leadership program for the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA^®), the world’s leading organization representing management accounting and finance professionals, seized the opportunity to make IMA the voice of an unheard industry and raise its profile as the premier professional association.

From the Garden State Journalists Association, S+A garnered an award for the team’s writing skills on behalf of Keilhauer, a Toronto-based designer, engineer and manufacturer of high-quality commercial seating. The launch of the company’s Sguig chair, the result of more than seven years of research into gender-based differences in sitting, required an especially creative approach to grab the attention of tradeshow attendees and journalists alike.
