MarketingSherpa Summary - Why They Won:
This is a textbook case on how to effectively send centralized information to 12,000 channel partners around the world and in multiple languages. The complexity of this newsletter has been well thought out, and it succeeds because of its global and localized approach to communication. The end result of increasing readership while reducing costs is a win-win in any language.

From Their Nomination Form:
While all major hardware vendors have partner programs and most of them even have a newsletter of some description, the GCPN is the only communication that we know of that gets produced centrally for the whole world, making this: Unique, Innovative, Correctly targeted, Successful (The targets have been exceeded by the third edition), Commercially viable (Centralizing the operation resulted in reduced costs), Trend setting. Sorry, the judges promised this winner that we would keep their results private. However, be assured that we have seen all the data and were thoroughly impressed!
