Seasoned judges reviewed thousands of entries from a broad spectrum of industry voices worldwide, and their average scores determined the 2021 award winners.

Being named a “Grand Winner” is a significant achievement as it identifies NewAge as one of only 10 companies worldwide out of hundreds of thousands of entries to receive the recognition and the substantial number of awards. NewAge shares this highly esteemed honor with IBM, Concentrix, Wolters Kluwer, and other notable organizations.

Karima McDaniel, VP of Marketing at NewAge commented, “What an incredible endorsement for NewAge and our CEO. To be on the map with IBM that has been around for more than 100 years when we are only five years old is good company to be in. NewAge was founded on a simple principle to create a healthy products company and share the wealth with everyone that touches the company. Staying true that ideal, we reached more than half a billion in revenue last year since inception just a short time ago, and we see a tremendous unobstructed upside still in front of our company.”
