PBB Wins Prestigious Transportation Marketing Award
Honored for Electronic Marketing by TMCA

Fort Erie, Ontario - June 14, 2001 - PBB Global Logistics has received a prestigious Transportation Marketing award from the Transportation Marketing & Communications Association (TMCA). PBB won the Association's "Tranny" Award for integrated electronic marketing initiatives, which was recently presented during the Association's Annual Conference in Jacksonville, Florida.

"It is a privilege to receive this highly-competitive marketing and communications award," says John Fergsuon, Director of Marketing, PBB Global Logistics. "PBB consistently strives to make electronic media a key component of our overall marketing strategy. To receive this recognition from the much-respected TMCA is a validation of our ongoing efforts."

The "Tranny" Awards Program recognizes best communications practices in the transportation and passenger transit industries. It is sponsored by the TMCA, which is the only association dedicated to exclusively serving marketing and communications professionals in all modes in the North American transportation industry.

PBB was an early leader in integrating electronic media into its marketing and communications strategy. Its first Web site, launched in 1996, was highly innovative with interactive features such as a popular searchable database of HS Codes and downloadable ProDoc^TM trade documentation software. Today, www.pbb.com remains a key communication and marketing tool for the company, offering new and value-added features to its target market and existing client base. There's an archive of the PBB Daily News Brief - the company's informative international trade and logistics e-zine that's sent electronically to a growing subscription list. Users can also request quotes for various logistics services and can establish a new account with PBB while on-line. The site regularly garners substantial media attention and draws measurable results as a generator of qualified and targeted new leads.

Another factor contributing to the award is PBB's successful implementation and communication of innovative e-Business and digital initiatives. Having identified key market and industry trends, the company launched its e-globallogistics.com^TM brand, which includes proprietary e-Fulfillment, e-Procurement and on-line trade documentation systems. The company credits these solutions with improving communication to its prospects, customers and agents, while promoting the PBB Global Logistics brand as a whole in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

"Electronic media has introduced powerful new tools for marketing and communications professionals," says Mike Scott, President & CEO, PBB Global Logistics. "PBB has always been a leader in exploring new opportunities presented by digital media, and we are very proud to be recognized for marketing excellence by the TMCA."

The Transportation Marketing & Communications Association has a long history of serving the needs of its members. Originally founded in 1924 as a railroad-based organization, the TMCA today provides value in networking, professional development, and education. Prior to 1997, the organization was known as ARAM, or the Association of Rail Advertising and Marketing. However, at that time, members voted to broaden the organization's membership to include communications practitioners in all modes. Its annual Tranny Awards are considered among the industry's most prestigious honors.

PBB Global Logistics employs more than 1,000 people in 70 locations throughout North America. It offers fully integrated global logistics services including: International Freight Forwarding, Customs Brokerage, Warehousing & Distribution, North American Shipping, Trade & Regulatory Services, Corporate Audit, Parcel Logistics, Corporate Travel and e-globallogistics.com^TM through a North American network of automated facilities and world-wide strategic alliances. It is one of Canada's "50 Best Managed Private Companies".
