LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce the return of the XBIZ Executive Awards, which recognizes the top adult industry professionals for the exemplary services that drive their online brand’s successes.
The awards will be presented at an exclusive cocktail-style awards ceremony on the evening of Jan. 13. The ceremony will kick off the 2015 XBIZ 360 conference series, which is set for Hollywood’s posh Andaz Hotel from Jan. 13-16.
Adult companies may nominate their client’s exceptional staff members — as well as members of their own executive team — for an award beginning Nov. 3 through Nov. 14 via adult industry social network XBIZ.net, according to Kristen Kaye, XBIZ’s head of business development.
“There are so many dedicated and talented individuals working both in the spotlight as well as behind the scenes in the industry that it is hard to single out the ‘cream of the crop’ to receive the prestigious XBIZ Executive Award,” Kaye explained. “XBIZ considers many factors, including a candidate’s business acumen, market experience, standing within the industry and their leadership ability, along with the number of peer nominations from the community itself.”
XBIZ founder and Publisher Alec Helmy explained that the Executive Awards were created to recognize the industry’s outstanding business leaders, as well as the personalities behind the industry’s most progressive brands.
“As the industry’s journal of record, XBIZ is familiar with the extraordinary talent that enables creativity, innovation and success within the adult industry,” Helmy said. “Our annual XBIZ Awards honors the best products and companies in the business. By also honoring the talented individuals who make these companies successful, the XBIZ Executive Awards gives tribute to those who help power the industry."
