The Stevie® Awards have announced the winners of the Best of the ABA Awards in The 2012 American Business Awards, the U.S.A’s premier business awards competition. This new addition to the ABAs' repertory of awards includes five best-of-competition prizes that are awarded to the organizations that submitted the best body of work to the competition, in their own name or in the names of one or more clients.
The American Business Awards honors an all-inclusive spectrum of American business people and organizations -- from non-profits, emerging start-ups, major public companies and government agencies, to corner-office executives, product developers, marketers and web development teams.
Nominees in The 2012 American Business Awards were not able to apply for the Best of the ABA Awards directly. Winners were determined by a points system based on the total number of awards won in the ABAs, with a Gold Stevie Award win counting for 3 points, each Silver Stevie Award for 2 points, and each Bronze Stevie win counting for 1.5 points.
The winners of the Best of the ABA Awards this year are:
Organization of the Year: LifeLock, Tempe, AZ. With 61 total points, LifeLock is the most honored organization in the 2012 ABAs.
Public Relations Agency of the Year: MWW, East Rutherford, NJ. MWW offices across the U.S.A. won a total of 32 points for nominations in their own name or in the names of their clients.
Marketing Agency of the Year: Slack and Company, Chicago, IL. Slack earned 16 points, tops among all marketing services agencies in this year's ABAs.
