INTERACTIVE TRAINING AND LINKAGE ENTER INTO COOPERATIVE MARKETING ARRANGEMENT
FRAMINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, May 15, 1997 -- Interactive Training, Inc., (IT), a provider of digital media solutions for the training market, and Linkage, Inc. (LINKAGE), an organizational development and corporate education consulting company, today announced a cooperative marketing arrangement. The agreement enables LINKAGE to further promote its events through IT's award winning Web site, TrainingForum (tm). The two companies will begin marketing immediately.
LINKAGE agreed to have IT include all of its events within the Events Database residing on TrainingForum. LINKAGE will promote its presence on IT's Web site by providing a hot link from Linkage's Web site, which will in turn draw traffic to TrainingForum. End users of TrainingForum can search within the database on show name, show organizer, show date, subject, city, and state. The database also features on-line inquiry and registration for a growing number of events.
"IT is very pleased to have LINKAGE as a partner. This agreement expands the number of events we offer while also providing an affiliation with a well recognized corporate education training organization," said Robert Scott, IT's Director of Internet Products. "This arrangement will provide substantial opportunity to further promote their events."
Carolyn Copp, Director of Marketing at LINKAGE commented, "LINKAGE is thrilled with the visibility TrainingForum can deliver to our events. Their target audience is a perfect match with our target market. When HR & Training professionals from around the world are looking for corporate education programs in areas such as leadership, competencies, coaching, team building, selection, recruitment, outsourcing, consulting, assessment, measurement and evaluation, they will now be able to find our events through the TrainingForum Events Database."
