April 26, 2006
Call Genie Inc. (TSX-V: GNE) announced today that it has won the Gold 2005 Industry Excellence Award for Marketing Innovation in the Associate Members category from the Yellow Pages Association. The Award was presented to Michael Durance, CEO of Call Genie Inc., during last night's Industry Excellence Awards gala dinner at the final event of the annual Yellow Pages Association 2006 Conference and Exhibition held in Orlando, Florida. The award recognizes Call Genie's success in pioneering the world's first voice-enabled search of the Yellow Pages.
"Winning a gold award from the Yellow Pages Association for innovation is a significant accomplishment," quotes Neg Norton, President of the YPA. "Call Genie's technology addresses a major area of opportunity for distributing Yellow Pages content - via the telephone, whether it is mobile, land-line or VoIP."
"I am extremely proud of our entire team as this is a very prestigious award - perhaps one of the top acknowledgements for innovation within the Yellow Pages industry," according to Michael Durance. "To receive this form of recognition in front of the virtual "who's who" list of decision makers within the industry is extremely gratifying."
The Yellow Pages Association was founded in 1975 and includes Yellow Pages publishers who produce leading-edge electronic products and deliver Yellow Pages directories to 100 percent of U.S. homes with telephones - and who account for more than 90 percent of Yellow Pages revenue generated in the U.S. and Canada. Members include the industry's international, national and local sales forces, certified marketing representatives (CMRs) and associate members, as well as other industry stakeholders that include Yellow Pages advertisers, vendors and suppliers. The Association has members in 29 countries.
