New World Report is excited to announce the return of the North America Business Awards. Now in its eighth year, this highly anticipated event has become a cornerstone for recognising and celebrating the exceptional businesses thriving in the North American region.

North America is one of the most influential continents on Earth, serving as a dynamic fusion of global heritage and traditions. This vibrant amalgamation results in a rich tapestry of cultures, each contributing to a powerful and unique cultural symphony. The continent's influence extends far beyond its geographical boundaries, significantly shaping social and cultural landscapes across the globe.

In North America, a lineage of entrepreneurs and pioneers has catalysed ground breaking achievements, revolutionised industries, and impacted lives worldwide. This spirit of innovation and enterprise permeates the continent's technological advancements, scientific discoveries, and vibrant creative industries.

Renowned for its diverse economy and influential business practices shaping international markets, North America is a beacon of advancements and economic dynamism. Its strategic significance in international trade, supported by a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem, positions the continent as a powerhouse driving substantial global economic growth.

North American businesses are renowned for their pioneering approaches to business, marked by a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, innovation, and sustainability. In the upcoming years, the United States is poised to lead a global resurgence in technological innovation. Despite recent fluctuations in the technology sector, experts predict a revitalisation that will not only rejuvenate this industry but also accelerate transformative changes across the international business landscape.

Canada is a global leader in renewable energy production, underscoring its dedication to sustainable practices. Meanwhile, Mexico's strategic trade agreements, robust manufacturing capabilities, and expanding skilled workforce position it prominently within global supply chains.

Meet the Team

When was New World Report first launched?

New World Report launched early 2020 and was born out of the merge of two of AI Global Media Group’s existing brands U.S. Business News and Latin America News. New World Report is a news platform updated each day with news and insights for business professionals spanning the Americas. A newsletter is circulated once a week to 100,000 (approx..) recipients within the South and North American business community. New World Report seeks to inform, entertain, influence and endorse businesses of all sizes and from all industries across this dynamic region. New World Report remains under the ownership of AI Global Media, a B2B international media group established in 2010.

Where did the nomination come from?

In the interest of nurturing an environment proven to produce a high response rate, we don’t ask nominees to reveal any personal identity. With regards to methodology, we often nominate candidates ourselves and, when it comes to voting, if you didn’t cast a vote through a self-submission, it is likely to have been cast via a colleague or client who has received one of our direct invitations. One of the main mantras of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, meaning your award is presented purely on merit. In the interest of security and fairness, we are able to track unusual behaviour on our website to identify repeat votes and cyber-threats.

What happens if I agree to be shortlisted?

In the interest of focusing our efforts on relevant and eager candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist. Nominees who accept are subject to our scrutiny during the internal vetting procedure and are given the opportunity to present their own data to be considered alongside information collated by our research team. This can take up to 8 weeks for final assessments to be rendered.

Who makes the final decision?

We employ an entirely impartial panel of 5 individuals to conduct all research. At the helm of the panel, is a veteran academic leader with international academic and training experience and is well versed in research, fact-checking and mediation. New World Reports research is overseen by Jeremy Roe, who has been a leading figure in research for the last 5 years. This two-tiered system allows for a neutral mediator which we feel allows a more efficient method when determining individuals and companies most deserving of winning an award and has brought us much success and commendation throughout its use.

Is there a winner’s ceremony?

The short answer is, no. We decided to not focus our efforts on a celebratory event. Despite being an enjoyable occasion, it doesn’t support our group’s philosophy of cost-effective marketing. We follow the belief that optional costs associated with an award are better placed in a year’s worth of online marketing for the winner rather than spending large sums on a ceremonial evening. Our press announcements are made digitally, online and across our network to enforce our position as digital publishers. We aim to provide you with the tools (both digital and physical) to generate real-world value.

What happens if I am deemed successful?

After you have been notified of you win, we enforce a short press embargo while the programme manager will liaise with you to establish your preferred method of coverage. Generally, our coverage takes the form of a digital winners’ special edition magazine, we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted certificates and plaques and digital certificates, web-based advertisements and personalised press releases.

Are there any costs involved?

As mentioned previously, there are no compulsory costs in accepting a nomination or winning an award. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, but these are completely optional. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain that regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award and our seal of approval. We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners, as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards.

Why does your email domain differ from your website domain?

Because we send a large volume of emails, we separate our campaign email sends from our transactional ones. This structure helps to ensure a prompt and thorough response from one of our diligent team members. The sending email address will always be recognisable but please contact us via the address on this page if you have any concerns.
