New York, NY – January 9, 2008 -- VMS, the worldwide leader in integrated media intelligence solutions, was honored again this week by the editors of PRWeek Magazine -- the public relations industry leading publication -- with the selection of VMS as a "Company to Watch" in the PR industry.
(PeterWengryn, VMS President and CEO was chosen last fall by PRWeek as one of the "Supporting Power Players" in the PR industry.)
The staff of PRWeek annually selects the agencies, individuals, and companies that will be making news in the coming year. VMS was among only five companies selected in the "Media and Services Category". None of VMS’ key competitors was so recognized.
According to PRWeek, "VMS was known for years as simply the video-tape company. VMS has been working hard to break out of that mold and offer more complete monitoring and measurement services to clients."
"…the company unveiled a real-time monitoring product that covers all 210 DMAs. Serving the ad and PR industries equally gives the company a unique perspective and could result in a major product launch in 2008."
"I'm excited that VMS has been recognized by PRWeek in this way," Wengryn noted. "It’s rewarding to see VMS, and some of our key accomplishments, highlighted. It’s obvious that the market is now recognizing that VMS has transitioned the company to be a complete solutions provider to our clients."
