Purpol Marketing is excited to share that our founder, Denise O’Leary MBE, was invited to speak at the recent Winning Strategies for the 2025 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business webinar. This event took place on 4 June 2025 at 9pm BST and was part of a global series aimed at helping women in business prepare standout award entries.

The webinar featured a panel of past Stevie Award winners, including Denise, Lauren Clemett (CEO of The Audacious Agency), and Michael Gallagher (Founder and Executive Chairman of the Stevie Awards). They offered practical advice and insights to help new entrants.

Denise shared helpful tips on how to create a great nomination, such as:

  • Choosing the right categories for your achievements
  • Structuring your entry clearly, using data and testimonials
  • Crafting a compelling story that judges will connect with
  • Understanding how the judging process works and what it takes to win Gold, Silver, or Bronze

“It’s always a privilege to share my experiences,” Denise said. “The Stevie Awards really shine a light on women’s accomplishments in business. Being a speaker, and getting featured in the Stevie Awards newsletter, was a proud moment for me. And yes, I loved the trophy action shot!”

The 2025 awards introduce exciting new categories and expanded eligibility, creating more opportunities for women entrepreneurs and leaders to be recognised.

Key dates to remember:

  • Early-bird deadline: 25 June 2025
  • Final entry deadline: 26 July 2025
