Softscribe Inc. Signs Cendyn

Digital PR Firm Increases 2009 Sales 26% Year-to-Date,
Rides Wider Boom in PR and Social Media


ATLANTA, GA – January 27, 2010 – Softscribe Inc., a 10-year-old technology Internet public relations firm that increases relationships and sales for companies targeting the green tourism and hospitality, green government and related markets, today announced that 2009 fiscal year-to-date sales increased 26%. Softscribe Inc. also recently added the leading full-service hotel interactive marketing and sales agency, Boca Raton-based Cendyn, to its client portfolio.  Client trust, partnership and diligence were cited as reasons for Softscribe’s success in a year that saw ad revenue shrink globally and public relations budgets expand (Read trend story here: http://ow.ly/WNEK).

“We export 100% positive business confidence to our clients and the industries we serve, and we take the job of prospecting new clients seriously,” said Michael Squires, president and COO of Softscribe Inc. “Our team aggressively pursues innovative solutions to support our clients’ goals. Cendyn is an ideal match for us because they value the same goals.  Cendyn’s management team is very positive and has a 14-year track record of delivering leading edge solutions to their customers.”

Michael B. Squires, president, Softscribe Inc. 
Fast-moving Cendyn broadens revenue for its clients.
“Softscribe understands the direction business and sales communications is headed; they are a forward thinking company and we value our new partnership," said Charles Deyo, president and founder of Cendyn, who was with Hyatt Hotels Corporation for 13 years, Kerzner International and Boca Resorts before founding Cendyn 14 years ago.

Cendyn trumps competitors with 12 Adrian Awards for Excellence in Web Marketing; Adds anchor text capability to the industry.
One example of the Cendyn-Softscribe Inc. innovation machine is the recent addition of anchor text capability to three major hospitality industry news feeds:  Hotel-Online, Hotel News Resource and Hsyndicate.
 
Anchor text, the clickable text visible when you mouse over a hyperlink, boosts search engine rankings and increases click through rates.  “Charles requested we include it as a best practice, so we worked with our main distribution channels to put the benefits of anchor text in place for everyone in the industry,” explained Squires. “It is this attention to detail that enables Cendyn to lead the industry and capture 12 Adrian Awards for Excellence in Web Marketing. These include a Gold Award that puts Cendyn in line to win a Platinum Adrian Award, and the coveted “Best of Show.””  Winners will be announced at the Adrian Awards Gala February 1, 2010 in New York.
