Political spokespeople were dominating the news receiving an unprecedented amount of attention as 2017 started. That raised a question for D S Simon Media. Shouldn’t the best spokespeople for brands, corporations and non-profits be recognized for establishing trust, being authentic and helping their organizations grow? Shouldn’t we find a way to help share best practices and tips from industry leaders? The SPOKEies® were born.

We want to thank the judges and advisors who have provided valuable input and donated their time so we can all give back a little to the industry. It’s time to celebrate The SPOKEies®!
