Inaugural Annual KOSBE Awards eMagazine Launch

November 13, 2012

KINGSPORT, Tenn. – The Kingsport Office of Small Business Development & Entrepreneurship (KOSBE) today announced the first-ever release of their 2012 Annual KOSBE Awards eMagazine. The magazine features the event’s sponsors, finalists, past winners, as well pictures and details regarding the event itself. Content includes but is not limited to descriptions of the award categories, the judges, ticket information, and even news briefs on past winners’ businesses.

The eMagazine will publish two issues biannually – once in June and again in November.

“This eMagazine demonstrates the heart of the KOSBE Awards by giving greater exposure not only to the Kingsport small business owners who have chosen to participate and deserve it, but also to the sponsors of the event who value giving to the development of the city of Kingsport,” said David Schools, KOSBE Marketing Manager. “What better way to knit the KOSBE tapestry together than with the launch of our new eMagazine.”
