Fast Growing PR and Social Media Firm Honored for Business Excellence
Newburyport, MA – June 18, 2013 – Matter Communications, one of the fastest-growing public relations and social media firms in the country, was presented with a Silver Stevie® Award for PR Agency of the Year in the 11th Annual American Business Awards in Chicago last night.
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 320 executives nationwide who participated in the judging process this year.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the trophies were presented to honorees during a gala banquet on Monday, June 17 at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park Hotel. The presentations will be broadcast by the Business TalkRadio Network on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
More than 3,200 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others. Matter Communications was nominated for – and received a trophy for – the PR Agency of the Year category.
“I’d like to congratulate our fellow nominees, because much needs to be going well for an organization to receive such a prestigious honor from the esteemed judges,” said Matter founder and CEO Scott Signore. “Winning PR Agency of the Year is humbling, and such a gratifying validation of all of our hard work over the years.”
“This year’s American Business Awards was outsized in every way,” said Michael Gallagher, Stevie Awards founder and president. “More entries and more judges than ever before, and I’d have to say the most impressive collection of nominations we’ve ever received. We congratulate all of this year’s Stevie winners for their outstanding work.”
