The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program with more than 3,600 nominations submitted. More than 190 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

Judges congratulated the agency on its stellar work saying:

Thinking out of the box and drastically change the character of a drab annual event needs intelligence and creativity. The bold and well executed plan by Parker Sanpei deserves to be lauded.

Very nice program. Good tracking of results demonstrated that the campaign contributed awareness that helped YOY increase in event participation by both wineries and consumers.

This campaign shows what can be achieved when you put your mind to taking something from “sleepy” to “sought-after.”…What I see here are solid results in terms of your intended goal of expansion and increased interest within a certain geographic area.

“Each year the judges find the quality and variety of the nominations to be greater than the year before,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The 2017 competition was intense and every organization that has won should be proud.”
