MIA Receives the Golden Thinker Award for Media Relations

The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has received the Golden Thinker Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Media Relations. The Golden Thinker, awarded each year by the North America Precis Syndicate, Inc. (NAPS), is given to organizations that have created the feature releases that have received the most pick-ups by America's newspaper editors. This is the second Golden Thinker that the MIA has won in the last 5 years.

Traditionally, stories that NAPS releases are picked up by between 100 and 400 newspapers. MIA's February 2012 story, New Survey Shows Nothing Beats Value, Beauty of Granite Countertops, was picked up by over 2800 newspapers from across the USA with over 50% of those papers being from top 50 markets.
