Wyoming-based service provider sees new levels of success through personalized, targeted marketing campaigns supporting a sales-focused company culture
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced Triangle Communications has won the inaugural “Innovations in Marketing Award” at the recent Calix ConneXions 2018.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been recognized with this honor from Calix,” said Bethany Chinadle, vice president of customer operations at Triangle Communications. “With the changes in both USF support and our decline in rural member population, we knew we had to market smarter in order to grow our business, but we were lacking the data we needed.

Now, with our entire company focused on sales and marketing, the future is brighter than ever for Triangle.”
