Bedford, NS (September 4, 2002) - Mailworkz, experts in eMarketing technology, is proud to be recognized as a finalist in the prestigious Branham Awards, an award recognizing excellence in Canada's leading information technology companies.

"Despite the difficult business climate experienced by this sector in particular, Canadian technology companies are successfully competing on a global basis and driving innovative and value added business solutions," said Christopher M. Henley, Chair of the Judging Panel and President of Henley Capital Corporation. "This year we saw a threefold increase in the amount of interest in the awards. The quality of the applicants from all over the country made for some difficult decisions for the judges. It is a tremendous reflection of the continued strength and diversity of this sector in the country."

“We are very excited to be representing Atlantic Canada in the Up and Comer of the Year product category,” says Mailworkz’s CEO Karen Fegarty. The Up and Comer category represents an early-stage technology product company that has been established for less than three years with fewer than 50 employees. The company must also have introduced an innovative product with great market potential that has positioned the firm for future success.

A black tie national awards gala will be held September 26, 2002, at Toronto's newly renovated York Theatre to recognize star performers for achievements in the Up and Comer product category. Other categories to be recognized include Alliance of the Year, Company of the Year, eBusiness Enablement of the Year, Top Product Launch of the Year, Top Service Launch of the Year, Transformation Company of the Year, and Up and Comer of the Year (Service) categories.
