That Konica Minolta has been honored with a Frank Award for Best Marketing Strategy three years in a row acknowledges that the independent dealer channel values the company’s support and partnership, and communication approach. That Laura Blackmer has been named Best Female Executive five years in a row is a resounding declaration of her professionalism and leadership," said CJ Cannata, President and CEO, The Cannata Report.
