Today’s leaders understand the power of social media to share ideas, drive business results and even change the world.
The CSuite Digital Leadership Awards — The CSuites, for short — is the first competition of its kind to recognize their impact and achievements on social media and digital channels.
If you’re a business leader on social media (or work for one), this award is for you.
You don’t need to have thousands of followers or be a major business influencer to apply. We’re looking for creativity, effort and authenticity, regardless of the size of your audience.
The only requirement: You believe in the power of social media and digital channels — from podcasts to blogs and video — to share your ideas, make real connections and move your industry.
CSuite Award winners are highlighted in national press. Get recognized in major media outlets.
Winners receive a subscription to Hootsuite Pro (valued at $360/year).
Enhance your social profiles and marketing materials with a CSuite Digital Leadership Award.
For agencies and teams, proof positive of the incredible work you do for clients. #humblebrag
