Hello,

The results are in and the Q3 winners of BOM's Branded Award have been identified. Because you are a marketing professional who targets FMs, I thought you'd like to know who won and why.

The winnings ads from the September issue of Building Operating Management are highlighted in the email below, which was sent to more than 100,000 FMs on November 6, 2012. The next issue to be studied for Branded Award winners is December 2012. If you'd like to learn more about this program, which shines a spotlight on excellence in print advertising, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
