There is an energy in New York City that you just can’t find anywhere else—especially when you gather the world’s most fantastic female entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators in one room.
On November 10, 2025, the Broadway Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square was transformed into a powerhouse of inspiration for the 22nd Annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business. As the "Oscars" of the business world, the Stevies are about more than just a trophy; they are a global stage for the impact, resilience, and audacity of women who are rewriting the rules of industry.
For The Audacious Agency, we are incredibly proud to have supported our clients through this journey—from the initial spark of an entry to seeing their name on the big screen. It was an evening none of us will forget, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners were announced to a live global audience.
Not only did these amazing women stand up on that global stage to deliver their acceptance speeches but they also shone brightly in times square. With personalised billboards for the whole of NYC to see, the entire night was a dream come true for many.
We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible success of these courageous women in business this year.
