TCNN is a live-hosted video blog that brings dedicated content to very successful social media channels. TCNN was created a year ago to cover the latest news, openings and events at the center—a backstage pass to everything going on at The Collection, from holiday celebrations, charitable events, to new store openings.

The U.S. MAXI Awards, which is hosted by The International Council of Shopping Centers, recognizes innovative events, programs and technology that add value to shopping centers and companies across the United States. Categories are designed to recognize the evolution of the industry, while rewarding creativity and innovation.

“We are honored to receive this recognition for The Collection News Network,” said Michael Pynn, General Manager for The Collection. “Our team has worked hard to develop this fantastic social channel that keeps consumers up-to-date on the great event happenings going on at our community-focused shopping center.”

Last year, The Collection won Silver for its CAN-tree Collection event in the Cause-Related Marketing category.
