The 2016 tED Best of the Best Awards were presented on Wednesday August 10th in Chicago. Every year tED Magazine sponsors the marketing contest for both distributors and suppliers serving the electrical industry. There are 13 categories in each of three different ranges of distributors. EECO won awards in four categories including:
Website – Motor Control
Publication – Community Calendar
Social/Digital Campaign – Inspire Blog
Integrated Campaign – Electrical Storeroom Program
Huge thanks go to our marketing, motor services, and storeroom teams. We are also very grateful for the feedback from tED, in particular:
“EECO is very focused on customers’ needs”
Amen to that. Congratulations to all the winners, particularly Summit Electric and Southwire who won overall. We were honored to be recognized among these great companies.
