LAS VEGAS, NV (PRWEB) December 4, 2006

Action International, the world's #1 business coaching franchise, today announced that it has been honored with two Gold statuettes in the 2006 MarCom Creative Awards, one of the world's largest international marketing and communication awards competitions. The awards, given for Action International's ActionCoaching. com Web site and its Action Coaching magazine, were selected from over 5,000 entries submitted by many of the world's best-known ad agencies, PR firms, design companies and corporate marketers.

Action International earned its awards in the Web Site and Magazine categories of the MarCom Creative Awards, a competition which is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), an international organization.

"Action International believes in reaching for the highest level of achievement in everything it does. We're pleased that the judges of the 2006 MarCom Creative Awards considered our customer-facing Web site and industry magazine, Action Coaching, were worthy of Gold level recognition," said Jodie Shaw, Chief Marketing Officer of Action International.
