I’ve worked with Berge and the Beka team for 15 years. They have consistently helped
us create winning programs that amplify our brand and drive measurable interest and
quantifiable results.
VP of Sales and Operations
I’ve been working with Berge and his Beka team for close to 10 years and they have always been flexible to customize lead generation and branding programs to accommodate my budget and objectives. Berge is extremely personalized and we have formed a true partnership over the years. I know I can always rely on Berge & Beka to support my ideas and programs.
Sr. Director, Marketing
ChannelVision has been the foundation of our marketing plan for many years. We are
able to reach our desired audience economically and efficiently by leveraging a variety of campaigns and initiatives. Berge and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with … true professionals!
Director of Carrier Services
I’ve partnered with the team at Beka Business Media to facilitate brand awareness and develop my network, knowledge and engagement in the telecommunications and IT space during the last six years. I purposely refer to Berge and his team as partners first, as their insight, attention to detail, and positioning have played a major role in my success and that of the organizations I represent.
SVP, Sales and Marketing
ChannelVision Magazine has been instrumental in our continued success and
engagement with the partner community. The team at Beka are very engaging – consistently offering new opportunities, ideas and recommendations to align with my marketing strategy. They are a pleasure to collaborate with.
Channel Marketing Manager
ChannelVision and Beka Business Media have been my number one choice for my
channel media outlet. I have used Beka for over a decade; their audience and reach have
helped us with new client acquisitions, as well as continued brand awareness.
VP of Business Development
I have worked with a number of publications over the years, and I can wholeheartedly say
that ChannelVision and Beka Business Media has been a fantastic partner to work with. They are invested in their advertisers’ success, willing to offer recommendations, provide feedback on how to continuously enhance performance and constantly offering ways to reach out to our target audience. Be it leveraging their audience with eblasts, offering to create advertorials or other ideas, they truly are committed to supporting their client’s needs.
Chief Marketing Officer
I’ve been working with the Beka Business Media/ChannelVision team for almost eight years, and their team consistently provides value and the marketing tools we need to stay in front and connected with our partners nationwide. Through video, print and digital marketing, they bring results, and we have seen return on investment.
Marketing Director
I have worked with Beka Business Media for over 10 years, specifically with ads promoting NHC services and ChannelVision’s annual communications provider edition. In 2019, NHC rolled out a new branding campaign and logo. Beka was a key strategic component of our marketing effort, offering both business and creative advice on how to get our new approach and solutions out to the marketplace with blogs, ChannelVision Magazine print ads, show floor tabloid ads, e-newsletter items and webinars. In our current environment, with very limited face-to-face selling by our agent partners and no in-person trade shows or seminars, Beka Business Media is essential to our sales and marketing efforts for 2020 and beyond.
Partner, VP of Marketing & Business Development
OneStream Networks is totally delighted with the exposure, interest, lead generation, and level of support that we receive through our partnership with ChannelVision Magazine and Beka Business Media. We will certainly be looking to them again as a key line of communication to reach a responsive audience for 2021 and beyond!
As business partners, two things attracted them to us: their breadth of industry contacts and quality of their database is unparalleled within the industry, and the way in which they work is a pleasure with regular communication and feedback. We have no hesitation in recommending them as a business partner. Their full suite of collaborative marketing services is second to none!
EVP & CMO
Working with the ChannelVision team over the past several years has been the key component of our channel marketing strategy. ChannelVision’s subscribership reaches the most impressive and optimal audience for our services, and the organization’s programs and writing resources have delivered valuable marketing assets that we find critical in our efforts to convey our messaging. Thank you ChannelVision for being a true extension of our channel marketing team.
Strategic & Channel Marketing
Not only is the ChannelVision team easy and great to work with, they are also outstanding
at what they do. They have provided Powernet with a variety of tools and opportunities to reach countless new agents in the channel, making them a staple in our annual marketing strategy. I appreciate Berge and the Beka team and highly recommend them.
