June 27, 2000 - Virginia Beach, Virginia - Fox & Associates, an auction marketing firm, has received the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) Best in Show designation - from among 600 entries - for their corporate brochure. They will take their bows at the annual NAA convention to be held in Norfolk in mid-July.

Steven I. Fox, President of Fox & Associates, commented, "Our new corporate brochure, 'Turning Assets into Energy,' depicts how we see the auction process as a powerful and efficient method of converting idle assets into energy (cash) that can be put to use toward achieving the company's or individual's financial goals."

The handsome blue and gold 14-page brochure, which features modern design elements, is the work of Richmond design agency Whitlock Group and public relations specialist Donna Ransone. "We've received comments that the auction business has many old traditions, and our brochure isn't 'traditional-looking,'" Fox remarked. "That's exactly the point we're trying to make. We're not your traditional auction company."
