Your business has grown from a glimmer of an idea into an impressive enterprise, and you deserve to be recognized for it. It may have been a group effort and you may be reluctant to highlight your individual achievements, but this award is good for your business. Winning is as much for your team as it is for you.

Few business accolades carry the level of prestige and name recognition as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award. You are a successful entrepreneur who demonstrates inspiring vision, leadership and passion – traits that Ernst & Young seeks to recognize through its annual awards program in Florida.

Pinstripe has extensive experience in developing nominations for EOY and managing the public relations opportunities that follow.

The nomination is the most critical portion of the process. The Pinstripe team will work with you to develop a compelling application and prepare you for the live interview. This phase includes:

• Managing the Entrepreneur Of The Year application, which includes collection of all company information and financials, development of the four essay topics, and submission of the form
• One-on-one meetings with the nominee and collaboration with members of the leadership team to answer the essay questions
• Preparing the nominee for the panel interview with judges

If you are selected as a finalist for the award, we will work with your team to supply the appropriate collateral to Ernst & Young and to promote your success. The Pinstripe team will:

• Manage the collection and submission of company video footage, logos, photos and other requested materials
• Write and distribute a press release and manage media relations
• Develop an ad to be placed in the Smart Business program distributed the evening of the awards gala
• Prepare the nominee for a video sound bite that is shot at the event

And then we will help announce your big win! This phase includes:

• Writing and distributing a press release.
• Managing media relations
• Developing an announcement to your colleagues and clients
