TORONTO, Feb. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Channel 1 Media Solutions Inc. – a leading full service international digital marketing agency -- was again recognized by the National Sports Forum for creating the best "Sales Advertising, Marketing and Management idea of the Year" (SAMMY). The award was presented to Channel 1 Media for their development of an interactive fan survey aimed at boosting the customer relationship management (CRM) database for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The survey, which received more than 100,000 hits and generated more than 35,000 completed entries, was instrumental in capturing valuable Thunder fan information. Featuring fun, graphic based questions, the survey takes about a minute to complete and rewards fans at the end with a chance to win a Thunder experience.
