The Borenstein Group Provides Pro Bono Public Relations Services to Kham Aid Foundation

2006-10-23T00:00:00-05:00

Efforts Drive Momentum to Overall Fundraising Efforts

Fairfax, VA, October 23, 2006 -- The Borenstein Group, a leading Fairfax County-based, integrated branding, marketing communications, advertising, and public relations agency, today announced that the agency's pro bono public relations services added to the overall fund raising efforts to the Kham Aid Foundation who sponsored a bike ride called "Ride for Green" on July 30, 2006 through Tibet in order to raise funds to build greenhouses for children throughout the region.

Six cyclists embarked on a 15-day, 800 kilometer journey across the rugged Tibetan plateau. They rode for a cause: better nutrition for Tibet's children. Funds raised by the ride will build greenhouses for a minimum of five primary schools with a combined enrollment of at least fourteen hundred children.

Since the climate of Tibet is too cold to permit growing of most vegetables in the open air, the greenhouses will help nourish an entire generation of Tibetan children for at least 10 years. Tibetan children will be able to eat far more nutritious food than the barley and butter-tea they customarily consume.

Construction and management of the school greenhouses will be overseen by Kham Aid Foundation, an American charity that has been operating greenhouse projects in Tibet since 2003. Kham Aid greenhouses currently supply vegetables to over 600 students daily. The schools that will benefit from the Ride will be selected on the basis of need, suitability of their land, and farming experience of their teachers. It's estimated that each new greenhouse during its ten-year lifetime will provide food throughout the school year to students at a cost of only $4.40 per child per year. The ride raised in excess of $50,000.

"We are extremely honored to have the support of The Borenstein Group and its client CR Software and Warren Dedrick for "Ride for Green" bike ride," said Pamela Logan, founder of Kham Aid Foundation. "The Borenstein Group's pro bono public relations services are enormously appreciated both for their own sake and for the momentum they added to our overall fundraising efforts."

Gal Borenstein, CEO & Chief Strategist of The Borenstein Group, stated: "We are happy to provide our public relations services to this worthy cause. We are proud that our efforts will help feed and educate hundreds of children in the Kham region for many years to come."

Donations are welcome for the greenhouse program at any time. For more information, contact the Kham Aid Foundation, khamaid@khamaid.org, or go to www.khamaid.org.

The Borenstein Group Wins Best eHealthcare Interactive Website for Design of www.rxwise.com for Bioinformatics Leader, Iatrogen, LLC

2005-11-17T00:00:00-05:00

Fairfax, VA, November 17, 2005 -- The Borenstein Group, a leading integrated technology branding and public relations firm, today announced it has won a platinum medal for best interactive website created for Iatrogen, LLC, a bioinformatics leader, in the category of consumer healthcare product sales for the 2005 eHealthcare Leadership Awards program.

The site was created for the company's first consumer-friendly, portable medication safety checking system, RxWise.

RxWise evaluates the potential risks for an adverse drug reaction (ADR) by analyzing a consumer's self-reported (or insurance claims-based) medical history and checking it against the medications he or she is taking. RxWise is contained on a portable USB Flash Drive, or accessible through the Internet. By using sophisticated risk-assessment software, RxWise provides important, personalized information about medications that may cause an ADR--the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

The product covers a broad range of prescription, herbal, and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The RxWise analysis can be more effective than limited drug interaction analysis alone because it evaluates the contribution of an individual's medical conditions together with any OTC/herbal medicines the consumer is using to complete the ADR risk assessment. RxWise also provides the consumer with a set of disease management advisories based on current national clinical practice guidelines.

Approximately 1,200 entries were received from a wide range of healthcare organizations. The judging criteria in the Best Interactive Site category focused on the site's interactive features and technologies: for example, providing health information, health evaluations; establishing ongoing relationships via personal web pages, e-newsletters, email alerts; facilitating community groups.

Winners of platinum, gold, silver, and distinction awards represented 16 industry classifications, from hospitals and health systems to pharmaceutical firms and online health companies.

Gal Borenstein, CEO & Chief Strategist of The Borenstein Group, said, "We are very pleased to have been recognized and awarded a platinum medal in the category of best interactive website."

"This win resulted because of the strong and valued partnership we share with Iatrogen, LLC, and its mission to raise awareness among consumers, employers, and health plan managers that Adverse Drug Reactions are a pervasive and dangerous problem."

M. Lee Morse, President and Founder of Iatrogen, said: "The intelligent and innovative thinking approach that The Borenstein Group used to introduce a ground-breaking solution to the market is a huge part of this win. We look forward to our continued work with The Borenstein Group to convey the message about medication safety and adverse drug reactions--issues that are of mounting importance to consumers and could pose significant constraints to their healthcare and quality of life."

RxWise was developed by one of the United States' leading ADR avoidance teams. More than 20 million patients have been protected by this team's technologies. The design team was a past winner of the Computerworld Smithsonian Award for best IT in Medicine for its ADR avoidance system. The RxWise team has built and operated ADR avoidance/detection systems for over a dozen U.S. state health systems, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Benefits Administration, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and large employer groups including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, Goodyear and the Boeing Company.

About Iatrogen

The Borenstein Group Unveils National Marketing Service Enabling Technology CEOs to Optimize their Marketing Return on Investment (MROI)

2005-01-11T00:00:00-05:00

Actionalize^SM will Enable Technology Companies to Demystify their Marketing ROI on Customer Acquisitions and Revenue Retentions through Proactive Research Tools Year-Round

Fairfax, VA, January 11, 2005 -- Today, The Borenstein Group (Borenstein) and its partner, Crestwood Associates (Crestwood), proudly unveiled Actionalize, innovative services targeted to technology companies.

Actionalize, the new suite of marketing services, was specifically designed to help executive decision makers in technology companies more effectively manage and optimize their strategies and programs across the entire revenue generation lifecycle. Borenstein and Crestwood will provide CEOs with the strategic insights required to develop and manage groundbreaking marketing, advertising, promotional, and PR programs. Central to the Actionalize program is the strong link to ROI in every program and evaluation. This is further supported by custom-built executive dashboards to help monitor both new customer acquisition and customer retention results. In a clear break from the traditional ad agency model, The Borenstein Group will offer this ROI-based program as a built-in module of its marketing and public relations services.

A survey, conducted in November 2004 by Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council, revealed the increasing disconnect between marketing and advertising investments and their grasp of tangible MROI (Marketing Return on Investment). Gal Borenstein, CEO & Chief Strategist of The Borenstein Group, stated, "With tighter budgets and augmented marketing channels, CEOs feel an even stronger need to ensure that their dollars are working hard." Actionalize will offer CEOs the tangible ability to benchmark, deploy, measure, and optimize their marketing programs the very same way they would any strategic plan. Edgar Kully, Managing Principal of Crestwood Associates added, "There are higher demands than ever on marketers today to employ bold marketing, yet without disciplined knowledge and feedback, these programs could be riskier than ever."

The new service offering was conceived by The Borenstein Group, a national technology marketing, advertising, branding, and public relations agency headquartered in Northern Virginia, and its strategic partner, Crestwood Associates, a Seattle-based market research and strategy firm. The two firms have joined forces to create this national service offering in response to the dire need for a new advertising agency service model that promotes accountability and results-driven thinking in creative, branding, and public relations services.
