Central Florida New Home Guide Makes a Clean Sweep at the 2005 MAME Awards
October 15, 2005 -- The 2005 MAME Awards, presented by the Sales & Marketing Council for the Home
Builders Association of Metro Orlando, were held Saturday at the Marriott World Center. The Central
Florida New Home Guide took home awards for: Best New Home Magazine/Publication – Consumer and Best
New Home Magazine/Publication – Realtor, sweeping the category. “It is very satisfying to receive
recognition such as this after working diligently to create the best, most effective product of its
kind in the industry,” said Richard Bernys, Publisher. “I am grateful to accept these awards on
behalf of the entire New Home Guide staff including Michael Papadeas and Karen Jones, our format
group and our graphics group who strive to continually improve our product, web content and
distribution model every day. We greatly appreciate the support our clients and consumers afford us
as we continue to build this great publication as we could not do this without them” he went on to
say. Satisfying clients’ marketing goals while at the same time filling a need in the marketplace for
consumers and real estate professionals is what the magazine strives to accomplish.
Distributing the magazine in over 500 retail and industry locations throughout 8 counties of Central
Florida, covering Brevard, Volusia, Flagler, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Lake and Polk with one
magazine, coupled with their comprehensive web offering, NewHomeGuide.com and the newly acquired
American Home Guides family of sites gives the potential home buyer a comprehensive search aid in a
single shopping source. This win for the New Home Guide marks two years in a row for the 1½-year-old
magazine. Making a big splash early was what the New Home Guide team set out to do and it’s just
what they did. “Feeding off of the success of our sister publication, The Apartment Guide, has
really helped us catapult to the top of most media plans…it certainly makes it easier when you have
such brand synergy like we do between DistribuTech [the largest distributor of free publications in
the world], NewHomeGuide.com and our latest acquisition, the American Home Guides family of sites,”
said James Moon, Vice President of the Homes Division for Haas Publishing. “We will keep working
hard to fulfill the need of the new home consumer in all of our markets across the country by
focusing on and committing ourselves to the task at hand and constantly keeping up with industry
trends and tailoring our book to them,” added Moon. The Central Florida New Home Guide is distributed
monthly throughout the region, putting over 40,000 copies in consumers’ hands. In the Central
Florida market, having one source dedicating itself to the mass market has proven to be helpful and
effective.
Haas Publishing Company, a Primedia Company (PRM on NYSE), is the #1 publisher and distributor of
free consumer guides in the U.S. with Apartment Guide, Auto Guide and New Home Guide, distributing
free consumer publications through its proprietary distribution network, DistribuTech, in more than
