JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., March 6, 2007 /PRNewswire/ --
ACCENT Marketing Services, LLC, an international
provider of customer lifecycle management solutions,
announced today that is it has signed agreements with
two Louisville based companies to implement customer
support and growth programs. Brown Jordan International,
Inc. and MedX12, Inc. launched programs with ACCENT this
month at its customer care center in New Albany. Forty
people will be added within the next month as a direct
result of the new contracts.
The two newly formed partnerships mark ACCENT's first
new business of 2008, capping off a successful start to
its 15th year in business. ACCENT has further reason to
celebrate, recently crossing the $100 million mark in
annual revenue and the 4,000 mark in employees.
Kevin Foley, ACCENT president and CEO, welcomes the
business and looks forward to bringing the services it
provides world-wide to local companies. "For years, we
have built our reputation globally by providing
solutions to acquire, support, retain and grow our
clients' customers," said Foley. "It's time we stop
being a well-kept secret in our own backyard. These new
partnerships with Kentuckiana businesses will showcase
our integrated marketing solutions to our own community
and help us develop other new partnerships right here at
home."
A leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of luxury
outdoor and contract furnishings, Brown Jordan
International, Inc. (BJI) selected ACCENT to provide
inbound care and support for customers with questions
regarding product warranties, assembly, and replacement
parts. The company will also provide order status
information for retailers who call into the contact
center. "ACCENT is helping us provide world-class
service," said Chris Carmicle, president, national
accounts and direct imports for Brown Jordan. "We
believe this relationship will enable us to exceed our
customers' expectations."
Also launching a new program this month is MedX12, Inc.

10,000 outbound calls will be made each month, according
to Joe Sostarich, founder and CEO of MedX12.

relationship," said Sostarich. "It allows us to get off
