SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - September 14, 2010) -  ZyXEL, the leading provider of complete broadband access solutions for service providers, businesses and home users, has engaged global communications agency, LEWIS PR, to implement a public relations campaign in the US.

Katie Eakins, managing director for LEWIS' San Diego office, will lead the program and will report to Lewis Lustman, director of marketing at ZyXEL.

"LEWIS PR's approach to communications is strategic and aggressive, making them an attractive partner for ZyXEL," said Lustman. "As the technology we use to manage, communicate and succeed in business and as consumers in our own home rapidly evolves, ZyXEL is looking to help telcos boost revenue, and to enable both corporate and consumer technology users to have a more efficient, enjoyable experience. LEWIS has the relationships with media, and its proactive, creative team knows how to target our key audience."

"LEWIS has an extensive background in networking, security and broadband access technologies, and we look forward to helping ZyXEL expand its business," said Eakins. "ZyXEL helps businesses network faster, easier and more economically, adding security and in many cases, a component that saves resources for greener computing. We will assist ZyXEL to attract an even wider following that includes target press, prospects and technology partners."
