2010 continues to be a strong year for Platform’s clients, with no less than ten nominations between them for the upcoming CSI Product of the Year Awards. Ericsson is nominated for three awards; ADB and T-VIPS are each nominated for two awards; and ruwido, Civolution and Tvinci are nominated for an award each.

In the meantime, Platform will continue to play an active role in ensuring that all our clients gain maximum coverage before, during and after the event.

Platform sees clients making the most of trade shows in 2010

Platform PR is predicting 2010 will be a strong year for the company, if the first few weeks are anything to go by. With the team busy helping clients prepare for year’s first round of trade shows, starting with Cable Congress in Brussels, it’s clear that businesses are looking to make their investments in attending trade shows work harder.

“We are seeing our existing clients looking to increase the PR value of attending an exhibition ,” explains Managing Director, Gay Bell. “If the rest of 2010 is as busy as the first few weeks of the year, it’s going to be a busy one for Platform.”

Some tips on how to use exhibitions for optimium PR value are available here.
