Kenco wins marketing award for media relations campaign

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.— Kenco—a leading provider of integrated logistics solutions, real estate services, and material handling equipment—was recently honored with an “Award of Excellence” for its effective 2014 media relations program. The program was supported by James Street Associates, Kenco’s media relations agency.

The award was given at the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA) annual conference on June 9, 2015 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

"The Compass Awards Program provides transportation and logistics companies with the opportunity to showcase their best work in marketing and communication strategies, and sales performance," said Brian Everett, CEO of TMSA. "In addition, recipients of this prestigious award receive recognition from peers as they benchmark their work against others in the industry."

Kenco was recognized by TMSA for a 12-month media relations campaign that resulted in published articles, quotes, and news briefs—114 media placements in all, including more than 30 prominent articles in leading logistics publications.

“Everyone at Kenco is thrilled to receive our first Compass Award,” said Director of Marketing Don Friddell. “We would like to thank our media relations agency, James Street Associates, for their partnership. We would also like to thank our industry peers in TMSA for this honor.”
