Relationship marketing leader among most decorated firms at annual Direct Marketing Association of Washington’s MAXI awards ceremony

Wakefield, MA, June 2, 2004 - Epsilon, a leading relationship marketing company, today announced that it was recognized as among the best relationship marketing firms in the country by the highly regarded Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW). Epsilon was touted by the DMAW for three standout campaigns, including two gold awards for fundraising clients. The winning projects were for some of the country’s most distinguished nonprofit institutions, such as the San Diego Zoo and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

"We're very excited to again be recognized as one of the true creative leaders in the fundraising marketplace," said Mike Iaccarino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Epsilon. "Building strong and deep relationships is the centerpiece of successful fundraising. We're proud that the Direct Marketing Association of Washington has again recognized our fundraising teams for our ability to provide innovative solutions which generate maximum revenue for our client partners."

Epsilon received gold awards for the firm’s work with the National Multiple Sclerosis Association and the Zoological Society of San Diego. The "Most Colorful Characters" campaign for the San Diego Zoo resulted in a 12 percent increase in responses, with a 14 percent drop in cost per response and 11 percent more new members than previous campaigns. The "Gears in Motion" campaign demonstrated the effectiveness of combined efforts from Epsilon and the National Multiple Sclerosis Association over a tight-knit 18-year relationship. A silver award was given for Epsilon’s work with Sandial.

The DMAW annually receives more than 200 nominations for awards in 13 categories. A panel of 20 marketing experts determined the winners, announced at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 5, 2004.
