NYWICI Trailblazer Awards

NYWICI’s celebration of the next generation of industry Trailblazers and the women who helped light the way in the worlds of communications, marketing, advertising and public relations were honored on September 16, 2025 at Forbes on Fifth.

This award offers a unique opportunity for NYWICI to champion the next generation of women and empower the future of our industry by recognizing and nurturing exceptional talent.  NYWICI has accepted nominations from industry leaders, notably past Matrix honorees, for emerging leaders on their teams that show exceptional promise and talent in the field of marketing and communications.

Nominations were evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges made up of NYWICI Past Presidents and Board leaders. The judges selected a limited number of honorees to be named together with their nominators. Within an exclusive and limited-access event, NYWICI provided a celebratory environment to honor and commend this next generation of communications Trailblazers.

NYWICI hosted an intimate evening of cocktails, canapés and hors d’oeuvres for 150+ industry leaders including past Matrix Honorees, NYWICI Past Presidents and other notables. The evening fostered meaningful industry connections and was punctuated with presentation speeches about our Trailblazer honorees.
