| Hi there,
This is Brendan Vaughan, Fast Company’s editor-in-chief. I wanted to reach out to you personally to encourage you to apply for our Most Innovative Companies awards before our final deadline this Friday, October 6. My colleagues and I spend all year identifying the companies that we think merit recognition. If you think your company has a compelling innovation story, we would love to consider your application.
My team and I have compiled a list of the top benefits of applying to Most Innovative Companies: Attract talent. Gaining the Fast Company stamp of approval for creating a truly breakthrough innovation can be a meaningful catalyst to recruit, retain, and motivate talent. Signal investors. Being named to Most Innovative Companies communicates to investors that your products and services are resonating with consumers and the public.
Join a community. These are the companies we turn to first to identify speakers for events such as the Most Innovative Companies Summit and the Fast Company Innovation Festival, among others. Editorial exposure. Applying puts your company front and center for our dedicated team of Fast Company editors and reporters who evaluate every submission.
For tips on how to write a successful application, take a few minutes and read this helpful application guide and article written by my colleagues, Fast Company senior editor Amy Farley and deputy editor David Lidsky.
This year, we'll honor over 600 companies from around the world. That means there are more opportunities than ever to be recognized.
You can apply here by this Friday.
I look forward to reviewing your application!
Sincerely, Brendan Vaughan Editor-in-Chief Fast Company |
