Focus on strong brand integration and an innovative approach earns Amway and Allen a prestigious Brandon Hall Award.

SALT LAKE CITY (November 14, 2013) – Amway and Allen Communication have been recognized with a Bronze Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Award for Best Custom Content. Amway partnered with Allen Communication to develop an educational re-brand course which communicates updates about Artistry’s skincare products to Amway Distributers. The unique sales training solution allows the audience to create their own learning experience and features an interactive e-learning module full of media-rich visuals and videos.

“During the design and development of our Artistry brand e-learning course Amway worked to incorporate innovative training methods with media design. A great deal of effort was devoted in creating a training that represented our brand, and the investment is providing some fantastic results,” said Tina Dooley, Instructional Design Consultant, Global Distributer Training at Amway. “We are excited to be receiving such a notable award. The recognition reinforces our commitment to provide the best training and development in our industry.”

The Artistry training is a proactive approach to maintaining a strong brand. Through the course, Amway provides their Amway Business Owners (ABOs) with product knowledge and differentiators that will aid in increasing their sales. “We are proud of the effective solutions that have been created with Amway,” said Ron Zamir, CEO of Allen Communication. “We addressed Amway Artistry’s needs by collaborating on a sales training module that immerses the audience with interactive media and allows the learner to personalize and define their brand experience including creating, printing and saving additional resources as they choose. This type of web-based sales training is proving its value by helping our clients reach and exceed their business objectives.”

Entries were evaluated by a panel of independent industry experts, along with the Brandon Hall Group Sr. Analysts and Executive Leadership. Selection was based on customization to the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.

“We are extremely proud to honor our 2013 award-winning organizations for their remarkable achievements,” said Mike Cooke, Chief Executive Officer of Brandon Hall Group, Inc. “This elite group of organizations excelled in developing measurable, sustainable programs that produced outstanding business results.”

In addition to the Brandon Hall recognition, Amway has been recognized with nine industry awards for their ARTISTRY course and Allen has been honored with more than 25 awards in 2013.
