Today’s episode is a special recording of our first LinkedIn LIVE podcast episode where we announced the winners of the third annual Startup CPG Shelfies Awards! Thank you to those of you who joined live - we had so much fun! You’ll hear the voices of Startup CPG’s founder Daniel Scharff, Patricia Menegoto, Startup CPG’s Head of Marketing & Community, Jenna Movsowitz, Startup CPG’s Spotlight Magazine Managing Editor, and of course my voice. Plus, special guests presenting the branding award Kirk Visola and Andy Kurtts. If you are listening to this before October 5th, you still have time to sign up for our in-person celebrations in New York City and Los Angeles, which I’ll link in the show notes or that can be found on Startup CPG’s Eventbrite page. Also, make sure to check out the special edition of the Spotlight Magazine that highlights all of the incredible finalists and winners (and that you can build your own shopping list from).
