ASI publications win 20 awards from American Society of Business Publication Editors<\/p>\n

TREVOSE, PA \u2013 August 5, 2011 \u2013 <\/strong>The Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) today announced Stitches<\/a><\/em> was honored as Magazine of the Year by the American Society of Business Publication Editors<\/a> in the 33rd annual Azbee Awards of Excellence competition.<\/p>\n

In addition to honoring Stitches<\/em>, the ASBPE honored ASI publications with eight national and 11 regional awards of excellence for writing, editing, research, design and photography.<\/p>\n

In the Magazine of the Year competition, judges from the professional B-to-B magazine-editing world evaluated three consecutive issues from each entrant, examining their writing, reporting and editing; their usefulness to and interactivity with readers; editorial organization; and layout and design. Past winners have included Bloomberg Businessweek, Fortune Small Business<\/em> and Computerworld<\/a><\/em> magazines.<\/p>\n

Stitches<\/em> stood out from the competition with strong writing, understanding of its target audience and intriguing design, according to the judges. In particular, judges noted Stitches <\/em>is \u201cbrightly written and designed\u201d and \u201ceasy to read and aesthetically pleasing,\u201d showing \u201ca real engagement in the industry you don\u2019t always see.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a circulation of over 21,000, Stitches<\/em> is the single most referenced magazine of the embroidery business, offering technical and business advice from leaders in the embroidery and apparel industry. Nicole M. Rollender is editor of Stitches<\/em> and ASI\u2019s director of education.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a profound honor to be recognized nationally as Magazine of the Year by such a prestigious body, and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of Stitches<\/em> editor Nicole Rollender and her entire editorial staff,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cI\u2019m delighted the magazine world is recognizing the hard work and creativity the staff pours into the magazine on behalf of our readers each and every month.\u201d<\/p>\n

The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) is the professional association for full-time and freelance editors and writers employed in the business, trade and specialty press. Founded in 1964, ASBPE is widely known for its annual Awards of Excellence competition, which recognizes the best in editorial, design and online achievement.<\/p>\n

The National Azbee Award winners were honored August 4 at a banquet at the Intercontinental Hotel Chicago Magnificent Mile during the ASBPE National Editorial Conference. As editor of the award-winning magazine, Rollender presented her editorial team\u2019s best practices at the conference with peers aspiring to enhance the value of their own publications.<\/p>\n

ASI publishes eight catalogs and five magazines in addition to the Successful Promotions<\/em> Trend Report<\/em> e-newsletter. ASI publications have won 58 recent editorial awards, including three Jesse H. Neal Awards, considered the Pulitzer Prize of the business press. Melinda Ligos is ASI\u2019s editor in chief and senior vice president, professional development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
