HOBOKEN, N.J., May 27, 2025 Electric Symphony Media has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Marketing Campaign of the Year– Arts & Culture category in The 23rd Annual American Business Awards®.

The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.'s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. ESM received the Gold Stevie® Award for its 2024 'Lightscape' integrated campaign for Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which promoted the Garden's holiday light installation in partnership with Sony Music.

Judges praised ESM's 'Lightscape' campaign for its exceptional media strategy, compelling storytelling, and outstanding performance. One judge described it as "an exceptional media strategy," highlighting the team's ability to drive over 200,000 conversions with a CPA of just $0.38 during New York City's highly competitive holiday season. Judges also noted ESM's smart shift from detailed audience segmentation in 2023 to broader cultural resonance in 2024, calling the campaign "a great example of smart media planning with results to match." Another judge commended the team's ability to "face competition in an area where market penetration was difficult," recognizing the strategic excellence that helped solidify Lightscape's status as a beloved New York City holiday tradition.

"Winning a Stevie Award for our Lightscape campaign is an incredible honor," said David Hassard, Managing Partner.. "It reflects the passion and strategic excellence our team brings to every project, and we're proud to be recognized among the nation's best."

More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year's Stevie Award winners.

"Organizations across the United States continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation," said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller. "The 2025 Stevie winners have helped drive that success through their innovation, persistence, and hard work. We congratulate all of the winners in the 2025 ABAs and look forward to celebrating their achievements during our June 10 gala event in New York."
