These mark UBM DeusM's 52^nd and 53^rd awards won in less than two years.

The Min's 2012 Integrated Marketing Awards recognize the new campaigns, the ongoing programs, and the innovative people who've raised the bar on print and online marketing programs. This is the second year in a row UBM DeusM was honored with Min's WOW Award, recognizing the most innovative integrated marketing campaign or paradigm-shifting marketing idea – winning last year for Internet Evolution's online university, 60 Days of Executive Education. 

UBM DeusM's Community Activation Platform (CAP) is a revolutionary new integrated marketing program that allows companies to sponsor an online community on an exclusive basis with 100% share of voice and sole ownership of the audience. Devised by UBM DeusM, the marketing services arm of UBM, CAP is based on UBM DeusM's renowned Community in a Box (CiaB) formula and employs a structured system of proven Web publishing best-practices combined with a breakthrough multimedia publishing platform.

Microcontroller Central, created by UBM DeusM and UBM Electronics in partnership with NXP Semiconductors, is a custom online community, devoted to inspire and empower users of microcontrollers and showcase their successes. The community-based Website consists of blogs, message boards, live chats, whitepapers, and other educational resources to help readers address the joys and challenges of microcontroller-based design. Microcontroller Central is one of UBM DeusM's 30+ communities.

"We are pleased to be recognized for these esteemed awards, which validate our unique offering in the B2B publishing industry with a custom community product that can be easily and quickly rolled out and built," said Steve Saunders, Managing Director of UBM DeusM.
