TekLinks is proud to announce that Cisco has named them the US Americas Digital and Social Marketer of the Year. Cisco announced the award winners at its annual Marketing Velocity event, which was held April 27-30 in conjunction with Cisco's Partner Summit in Montreal, Canada.

"We couldn't be more excited about this kind of partner recognition," says Haley Montgomery, TekLinks Director of Marketing & Partner Development. "Our goal this past year has been to build a robust social media presence that makes technology accessible to our audience. Engaging our clients with content that is both interesting and applicable is challenging, but very rewarding when your message is authentic and connects with the audience in a tangible way. We're thrilled to have Cisco reaffirm and support our efforts in this way, and we look forward to what our collaboration in 2015 will accomplish."

The Cisco Marketing Velocity 2015 Awards were created to recognized and reward partners for creating and executing excellent integrated marketing campaigns. TekLinks won the competitive award for its popular web series, Tek is the New Black. In each episode, Montgomery and TekLinks VP of Marketing David Powell discuss everything from IT best practices for businesses to mainstream tech trends and cool new gadgets.
