ESCATEC appointed as Design Partner for Atmel touch sensing technology

Heerbrugg, Switzerland, June 11, 2011 -- ESCATEC, the EMS innovator, has been appointed as one of the two Atmel Design Partners for touch sensing technology in Europe.

“Designing touch screens and the control electronics is a complex task and is challenging to companies unless they do it regularly,” explained Daniel Pfeifer, Research and Development Manager, at ESCATEC’s facility in Switzerland. “Atmel recognised our skills at doing this for customers and has appointed us as one of only four design partners in the world to help its customers. Atmel supply chips for touch screens and other companies each supply individual components, such as microprocessors and software, leaving manufacturers with the challenge of having to bring everything together to form a complete solution for their specific application. Rather than having customers re-invent the wheel every time, Atmel has appointed a small number of design partners who are highly experienced at integrating all the elements together to create complete touch screen solutions for customers.”

ESCATEC offers customers a comprehensive manufacturing service that starts with assisting with the design of the product, through low volume production at its state of the art facilities in Switzerland, to high volume manufacture in Asia. “We form a close working partnership with customers at all stages to ensure that every phase runs smoothly with the precision and quality that the Swiss are renowned for,” added Martin Kingdon, ESCATEC’s Business Development Director. “This Design Partnership with Atmel is just one of the many services that we offer customers that set us apart from EMS companies that compete solely on price. We offer true expertise to ensure products are high quality as well as being competitively priced.”

NOVATO, Calif. (June 11, 2011) -- Social media has become an incredibly powerful and cost-effecting marketing tool. To help professionals understand how to get the most from social media, June’s Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com) webinar, ”LinkedIn and Social Media: Make it Work to Promote Your Company,” will feature social media expert Glenn Raines, Founder of Social Media Moves, who will explain how to align your company’s business objectives and brand messaging with social media channels such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.

The explosion of social media offers a host of new ways to connect with consumers and prospects, and changes the way companies go to market. This Experts Connection webinar will cover the latest social media marketing tactics, including repurposing your branded content so it works within different social media, as well as how to leverage the advanced functionalities of both the LinkedIn Profile and LinkedIn Company Page. In addition, we will explore how to use social media platforms such as Google, Flickr, and YouTube to boost your company’s search results, increase visibility to new prospects, and drive traffic back to your website.

This webinar will offer invaluable tips for companies looking to build their brand through social media. This practical presentation will include:

- Aligning your business/brand messaging with key social media channels to attract and engage customers.

- Leveraging both LinkedIn Profiles and Enhanced LinkedIn Company Page to promote your company.

- Turning your subject matter experts into effective “brand ambassadors” in social media networking.

- Leveraging your existing investments in branded content using social media repurposing strategies.

- Engaging on other social media platforms (beyond LinkedIn) to boost your results and drive traffic.

- Managing your time and resources to sustain your social media efforts.

“Social media has created a new marketing channel that can be adapted to promote your company brand,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. “As Glenn explains, a solid social media strategy requires you to attract positive market attention rather than push your message to your target market. LinkedIn has become the ‘go to’ network for professional connections, and Glenn’s tips and techniques can be readily adapted to other social media channels as well. This is a great teleseminar for anyone interested in making the most of their online footprint to attract new customers.”
