ASM International Joins Forces with MediaBrains to Build Industry Directories

NAPLES, Florida – ASM International, the Materials Information Society, is partnering with MediaBrains, a leader in b-to-b online directory advertising, to build and manage the Online Industry Directories for its title Advanced Materials & Processes.

The partnership represents MediaBrains' second partnership with an industry trade association. "MediaBrains will help ASM to achieve its goal of providing reliable and accurate information to professionals in the materials and manufacturing community, while also creating a new revenue stream for the Society," says Gina Paddock, Vice President of Sales for MediaBrains. "Trade associations are a perfect fit for our business model. Moving forward, we expect to see continued interest from trade organizations."

An Industry Directory is a comprehensive list of vendors, organized by categories of products and services. Advertisers can purchase Featured Listings, which get maximum exposure because they appear on page one of the Directory, before the alphabetical list.

"This partnership enables us to put an Online Directory Solution in place quickly," says Steve Weiss, Director of Education, Events and Publishing at ASM. "At the same time, our management team can focus on our core initiatives, knowing the Directory is being managed effectively."
