MONTREAL, November 18, 2010 — At the 2010 Pearl Awards ceremony attended by Spafax Publisher Lyne Farley, held November 11 at the Water Club in New York City, the Custom Content Council awarded 10 Pearl Awards for Excellence in Custom Content to our publications.

“This is again an incredible year for Spafax,” says Farley. “Congratulations to all our clients who give us the possibility to work on these projects, to our teams for their creativity and excellence, and to Spafax Chile for the same reasons.”

The Custom Content Council (CCC) is the leading association for the custom publishing industry in the United States. Since 2004, the CCC’s prestigious Pearl Awards recognize excellence in custom media in the areas of design, editorial, and strategic initiatives in print production and digital custom media. Spafax’s honours were selected from among 569 entries from some 71 companies around the globe.

“We’re really excited about the breadth of Spafax editorial and design output represented by these awards – everything from SIPs to sites,” says Raymond Girard, President of Spafax Interactive. “Congrats to the Montreal, Santiago and Toronto editorial teams for their usual brilliance, and to the clients represented by these awards, who give us their support, encouragement and direction. They deserve a huge round of applause: LAN Airlines, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and Air Canada.” Adds Katrin Kopvillem, Executive Vice President, Media and Publishing Director: “Congratulations to everyone at Spafax who worked so hard to produce such award-winning publications. This is an amazing showing and it’s wonderful to be so highly recognized by our peers.”
