Local journalist and columnist bags fifth national award after being named an Influential Woman In Business
Live 24Seven columnist - and journalist – Amanda Chalmers, has been named an Influential Woman In Business after celebrating her latest award.
Amanda was recognised by Innervision Media for her excellence in PR & Communications consistently delivered by her company Chalmers News PR, based in Warwick.
It is ‘in recognition of demonstrating exceptional dedication, professionalism and influence in delivering impactful journalism, strategic public relations and high-quality communications services.
The recognition also ‘honours a continued commitment to excellence, creativity and meaningful storytelling, setting a high standard within the communications industry and making a lasting impact through trusted and effective PR solutions.’
The news brings Amanda’s impressive national awards tally to five, since launching her business seven and a half years ago.
In summary, entering awards isn’t about ego. It’s about strategy. It’s about visibility, credibility, momentum and growth. It’s about telling your story in a way that resonates far beyond your own marketing channels and giving your business the recognition it deserves.
In fact, if you’re serious about elevating your brand, strengthening your reputation and opening new doors, awards aren’t optional. They’re an essential tool.
And for many business owners, they become a powerful reminder of just how far they’ve come.
