TREVOSE, PA \u2013 Dec. 8, 2005 –<\/strong> Advertising Specialty Institute\u00ae<\/sup>, the largest media organization serving the promotional products industry, announced today it will recognize top industry companies and individuals with the new Counselor<\/em> Power 50 initiative.<\/p>\n

Editors of Counselor<\/em> magazine, the publication serving as the \u201cvoice of the industry\u201d for over 50 years, will compile the 50 most influential distributors and suppliers for the first time.\u00a0 These are the people at firms who constantly challenge the status quo, who are a driving force for growth and are the innovators who continually bring new and exciting products to the marketplace.\u00a0 ASI members and non-members will be considered for nominations and Counselor<\/em> magazine will publish the completed list in the December 2006 issue.<\/p>\n

Rich Fairfield, publisher for ASI, said \u201cThere has not been\u00a0anything like this\u00a0before to\u00a0recognize the achievements of distributors and suppliers who are the movers and shakers in the industry.\u00a0 These individuals mend fences among peers experiencing conflicts, help develop raw industry talent and mentor the leaders who are today\u2019s stellar businesspeople at dynamic companies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Industry executives are equally excited about the new effort.\u00a0 Jack Teague, president of BIC Group Graphic (asi\/40480<\/em>), commented \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to seeing which leaders are chosen for this recognition.\u00a0 When an individual is nationally recognized, it validates the strength and contribution of their supporting cast of team members.\u00a0 This will become an industry \u2018must see\u2019 for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurt Kaeser, president and CEO\u00a0of\u00a0Kaeser & Blair, Inc. (asi\/238600<\/em>), said “This\u00a0compilation will be a great way to recognize those that contribute so much to this industry.\u00a0\u00a0It appears to be a fresh\u00a0idea that may uncover more great contributors\u00a0who we may not even know about in the business.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nominees for the list can be ASI members or non-members and nominations can be made by a representative working at any promotional products company in North America. <\/p>\n
