November 3, 2010 – BioSupply Trends Quarterly (BSTQ), a leading source of marketplace news and trends within the biopharmaceutical industry, has taken top honors in the 2010 MarCom Awards Competition. BSTQ won a Platinum award for Design/Magazine Cover, and a Gold award for Magazine/Industry. Earlier this year, BSTQ was named one of the top 10 pharmaceutical magazines for 2010 by Cision U.S. Inc, a leading media relations firm.

IG Living!, the only magazine dedicated to patients who use immune globulin products and their care providers, won a Platinum award for Magazine/Consumer – a highly competitive category and a significant accomplishment. The publication also received an honorable mention for Design/Magazine Interior. Additionally, FFF's comprehensive 2010/11 Flu Myths & Facts Brochure received a Gold award for Brochure/Consumer Awareness.

"It's an honor to be acknowledged for our publishing and marketing efforts," says Publisher Patrick M. Schmidt, founder and chief executive officer of FFF Enterprises, Inc. "The publishing division of our company is only four years old, but both of our magazines have already been distinguished with numerous awards. We're very proud of our marketing communications team."

"All of our communications and print materials are designed to support our mission of Helping Healthcare Care," adds Sheryl Perez, vice president, marketing and communications. "We are pleased to deliver educational and awareness resources that are relevant, timely and useful to our subscribers and customers, who encompass healthcare professionals and consumers. We are thrilled to have our work recognized in a prestigious competition such as the MarCom Awards."
