KidGlov Wins Best of Show at the 2023 Nebraska Addy Awards

KidGlov is proud to announce that they have won the prestigious Best of Show at the 2023 “Creative Nebraska” American Advertising Awards. The “Creative Nebraska” Awards honor the most original and daring advertising work in the state.

Each package element was carefully designed to reinforce the value of Sirius’ services and highlight the company’s attention to detail and quality.

By Kim Reiner Whether it’s social, scientific, economic, or political, businesses and nonprofits today are more often taking a position on issues. Publicly aware companies have become the norm, touting their policies to stand out from a crowd when trying to bring in new clients or employees and build audiences. In fact, many brands proudly share their values publicly on social media, in advertisements, and on their homepages. Yet very few businesses–at least in Nebraska–take the extra step to go beyond talking the talk and proving their commitment through a B Corp Certification . The private certification of for-profit companies means a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency ranging from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
