CRN, the most trusted source of news and analysis for solution providers, integrators and e-businesses building technology solutions, announced today that it has won two Circulation Excellence Awards from Circulation Management magazine.

Circulation Management, the magazine publishing industry's most comprehensive and authoritative source on strategic trends and ongoing developments affecting circulation management, awarded CRN co-gold in the Business Publications with 100,000 Circulation or Larger category, and the 1st Annual Internet Award for most Effective Use of the Internet for Circulation Marketing.

"By mapping our editorial to the ever-evolving needs of our readers, identifying new readers and strategically growing our circulation in key areas, CRN has been able to consistently deliver a relevant and valuable audience to our advertisers," said Charlie Humphrey, CRN Vice President/Publishing Director. " To win prestigious awards such as these, says a lot about a 19-year-old publication in a market where other IT-related publications are constantly repositioning themselves to grow their circulation."

The annual Circulation Excellence Awards (CEA) recognizes the strategic contributions of circulation to the overall success of consumer and B-to-B magazine publishing companies. Winners were selected upon consistently meeting objectives, the quality and innovativeness of their circulation marketing and management techniques, and the success of the circulation supporting the magazine's positioning with advertisers and readers.

"Winning the first ever CEA for Internet Circulation Marketing is testimony to CRN's ability to engage our readers at all levels," said Lisa MacKenzie, CRN Publisher. "The way CRN currently allows subscribers to re- qualify, subscribe and perform all customer service functions on the Web has become integral to the way in which we interact with our readers and advertisers, so this award more than validates our strategy for meeting our audiences' needs."
