On a recent bi-coastal media and analyst tour, Trainer Communications caught up with Secure Passage executives in between briefings and they validated the importance of having Trainer’s marketing and communications professionals on their side.

Trainer Communications, the premier provider of integrated marketing and high-tech public relations services that create global market leaders, today announced that the firm has capped the first quarter of 2009 with a MarCom Gold Award, new cutting-edge consumer and enterprise technology clients, and continued high levels of client satisfaction.

For the second time in three years, the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals (AMCP) awarded Trainer with the industry’s prestigious MarCom Gold Award for excellence in the Publicity Campaign category. The AMCP selected Trainer as a Gold winner from a wide field of applicants for an innovative rock and roll-themed campaign that successfully launched startup Rohati Systems into the fiercely competitive IT security market. By utilizing the powerful pop culture icon song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, Trainer Communications was able to garner interest among journalists, bloggers and analysts, who responded positively by publishing more than 75 feature articles, Web videos, blogs and analyst reports that focused on Rohati.

New clients that have engaged Trainer include progressive Web retailer Zazzle.com, SMB data infrastructure provider Axcient, and on-demand supply chain software provider Actio. All chose Trainer based on the firm’s proven strategic leadership, domain expertise, branding, messaging and video services, social media expertise, strong client endorsements, and proven ROI through its award-winning Metrics Matter™ money-back guaranteed approach to integrated marketing and public relations services.

In addition to winning awards and signing new clients, Trainer continued to earn high praise from existing clients for exceeding their marketing and communications expectations. In February, Secure Passage President and CTO Jody Brazil and COO Rob Bykowski provided candid video comments attesting to the important leadership role Trainer played in successfully re-launching Secure Passage into the IT security market. More recently, Axcient CEO Justin Moore stated that “Trainer exceeded my expectations” in delivering and executing on an effective marketing and communications campaign.
