The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees, and the companies they run worldwide. They have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City on Friday, November 8. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from around the world are expected to attend. The event will be broadcast on Livestream.

This year, the awards attracted over 1,500 entries from organizations and individuals across 36 nations and territories, competing in more than 100 categories. Sparks is honored to see both Kristy Elisano and Robin Lickliter among the Finalists in the “Woman of the Year - Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations” category, a testament to their innovative leadership and influence within the experiential marketing community.

“We are incredibly proud to have Kristy and Robin recognized as Finalists for this distinguished honor,” said David Sudjian, CEO of Sparks. “Their visionary leadership, creative excellence, and relentless pursuit of innovation have been pivotal to our agency’s success and growth. This recognition by the Stevie Awards highlights their profound impact on Sparks and the broader experiential marketing industry.”

Finalists were determined by the average scores of more than 200 business professionals around the world, serving on six juries. Their scores will also decide the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award placements that will be announced at the 21st annual awards dinner and presentations in New York.

“In its 21st year, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business received an impressive array of nominations from across the globe,” said Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards. “We look forward to celebrating the outstanding achievements of women in the workplace in New York on November 8.”
