Editorial note
Feel free to use any parts of the press release and edit as necessary; you do not have to use the template in its entirety or ask our staff for final editorial approval.
However, when editing the template or writing your own press release, please be sure to note the full correct spelling of the awards program’s name: it is ‘Best in Biz Awards’. It is NOT ‘Best in Biz’, ‘Best-in-Biz,’ ‘Best in the Biz’ or ‘the Best in Biz Awards’ and as such, it should not be made singular/plural as in ‘won three Best in Biz awards’ or ‘was honored with a Best in Biz award’. Such singular/plural uses as in the above two examples are incorrect and should be rephrased with e.g. ‘won two awards in Best in Biz Awards’ or ‘was recognized in three categories in Best in Biz Awards’ instead. The name should only be used in full, with the correct spelling: ‘Best in Biz Awards’. Thank you in advance for your adherence to the guidelines.

[Company/Product Name] Wins [Gold/Silver/Bronze] in 14th annual Best in Biz Awards
[Company Specific Sub-Headline]
[City, State] – December 30, 2024 – [Company/Product name] has been named a [gold/silver/bronze] winner in [category name] in Best in Biz Awards 2024, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.
[Paragraph about the award-winning nomination(s) specifically and/or the honored company in general.]
This year’s judges were particularly impressed with the winning companies’ continued innovation and vast employment of such cutting-edge technologies as AI, their comprehensive approach to workplace benefits and employee wellbeing programs, as well as continued community involvement and growing commitments to environmental and corporate social responsibility causes. A notable absence of winning entries in the Fastest-Growing Company of the Year categories this year pointed to the difficult economic landscape this year’s entrants are operating in, which makes the winners’ achievements all the more noteworthy.
[Quote from company spokesperson about winning Best in Biz Awards 2024.]
Since the program’s inception in 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined by independent judging panels assembled each year from some of the most respected national and local newspapers, TV and radio outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America. Thanks to the unparalleled expertise and experience of the editors and reporters serving as judges and the vast diversity of outlets they represent, Best in Biz Awards judging panels are best suited to objectively determine the top companies from among the hundreds of competitive entries. The 2024 judging panel included, among others, writers and contributors to Barron’s, Chemical & Engineering News, Computerworld, Healthcare Innovation News, Los Angeles Times, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Travel Weekly and Wired.
“Each year, our judges face the challenge of determining winners among equally compelling entries with varying strengths, poring over details and analyzing minute differences to find out who has had the edge,” said Best in Biz Awards staff. “Yet, as in years past, what sets our winning companies apart, is not just their growth numbers, patents, or outside validation of their strength. A true sign of a Best in Biz Awards winner is the positive impact they have in the world – the benefits they bring start with their employees, impact their clients, and fill the local and global communities they operate in.”
Best in Biz Awards 2024 honors were conferred in 100 different categories, including Company of the Year, Fastest-Growing Company, Most Innovative Company, Best Place to Work, Customer Service Department, Executive of the Year, Marketing Executive, Most Innovative Service, Enterprise Product, Best New Product, App, CSR Program, Environmental Program, Website and Film/Video of the Year.
