Expanding ECHO Brand Is Top of Mind for DMA 2007 ECHO Committee; Lieber, Feinstein Head Committee
January 19, 2007 — The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) announced yesterday that Mitchell Lieber, president of Lieber & Associates, and Neil Feinstein, director of creative strategy at True North, will serve as chair and vice chair, respectively, of the 2007 International ECHO Awards Committee.
DMA’s ECHO Award is the only international award that honors excellence in direct marketing creativity, marketing strategy, and response results – recognizing every type of media used in multichannel direct marketing campaigns.
“Because DMA’s ECHO Awards recognize strategy, creative, as well as results, they are the most relevant award in marketing today,” said Feinstein. “This potent combination allows the ECHOs to showcase how all marketing disciplines can be integrated and leveraged to deliver outstanding results, new customers, and increase profits for smart marketers.”
DMA’s 2007 International ECHO Award Ceremony will take place October 16 during DMA 07 in Chicago, IL.
ECHOs Embrace the Internet
This year sees campaigns submitted for the 2007 awards being uploaded from the Web, television, and other electronic campaigns, eliminating the need to produce CDs, DVDs or videotapes. Training for ECHO judges will also move to the Web.
“The ECHO team – composed of the Committee and DMA’s internal staff – is updating ECHOs’ view of direct marketing to more fully embrace the Internet,” said Lieber. “We’re going to see more entries using search, SMS, and other forms of emerging media, as well as an expansion of the ECHO’s already enormous base in integrated, mail, print, and broadcast channels applications using SMS and other forms of emerging media.”
Mitchell Lieber
President, Lieber & Associates
Chair, DMA International ECHO Award Committee
Lieber has developed, managed or advised on more than 200 contact center programs spanning operations involving inbound, outbound, blended (inbound and outbound), e-mail handling, and Web integration. He has recruited and trained hundreds of contact center reps and has developed effective ongoing training systems.
Lieber’s expertise is first-hand and front-line. Prior to devoting full-time to consulting and management training in 1989, he managed call centers’ handling programs for companies such as American Express, the American Medical Association, AT&T, Haworth, Hitachi, Hon, Interplak, Kemper, Nuveen Investments, Philips, and Zenith Data Systems. He also directed telecommunications and, very early in his career, served as a call center supervisor and as a telephone rep.
During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Lieber pioneered the integration of telephone and direct marketing. In 1993 Lieber invented the open-closed switcher, telecommunications hardware that brings a digital function, the ability to send back a busy signal to excess calls to call centers using analog lines.
A contributing author on call centers to three books including the college textbook Readings and Cases in Integrated Marketing Communications, Lieber has been published or quoted by most major trade publications, including Advertising Age, Card Marketing, Catalog Success, Direct, DM News and TeleProfessional (now Customer Interface). He frequently speaks on contact center topics at the annual conferences of DMA and the American Teleservices Association (ATA).
Lieber is a voting member of the Society of Telecommunications Consultants and is certified by Purdue University's Center for Customer Driven Quality as a call center auditor. He is a past recipient of ATA’s TelPro - Teleprofessional of the Year Award, Chicago Direct Marketer of the Year, and Chicago Association of Direct Marketing’s (CADM) Towards the 22nd Century Award.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
You may get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
