Eco-marketing Firm Selected to Focus on Energy Efficient Lighting
SOLON, Ohio, Jan. 31 / -- Fiberstars Inc. (NASDAQ:FBST), a global leader in breakthrough lighting technology, announced today that it has selected Braun & Zurawski Inc., of Milwaukee, as its agency of record responsible for marketing and advertising campaigns centered around the company's line of energy-efficient lighting solutions. B&Z specializes in energy and environmental marketing.
Targeting the nearly $100 billion lighting market, as well as sustainable green business and building segments, Fiberstars provides efficient fiber optics (EFO) lighting solutions for a wide variety of applications in the commercial, retail and government sectors. Its patented EFO technology achieves light transfer comparable to that of conventional lamps, while eliminating high levels of heat, ultraviolet rays and electricity consumption, which are expensive, inefficient and can damage products and produce. EFO products meet stringent new energy regulations while offering an 80 percent cost savings over halogen and fluorescent lighting.
"With more companies realizing the impact sustainable solutions have on their bottom line, energy efficient lighting has become a priority in building design, operations and as part of their overall business strategy," said John Davenport, CEO of Fiberstars. "Fiberstars is well-poised to benefit from the continued growth of green building practices and selected B&Z because of their significant experience in sustainability and green marketing."

It is committed to delivering high performance sustainable solutions for the built environment.
