This year’s 19th annual Stevie Awards® for Women in Business hailed as one of the most prestigious business awards in the world, recognise some of the world’s top leaders in a multitude of industries. 

At Franchise Fame, we are immensely proud that our Founder and CEO Dani Peleva was named a Gold winner in the category Most Innovative Woman of the Year – Franchising.

This year, judges had the tough job of selecting finalists in a wide range of industries and categories and these were announced in September. The awards ceremony itself, held at Caesars Palace on Friday, 11 November 2022 in Las Vegas honoured each finalist and announced the Bronze, Silver and Gold winners.

Dani was delighted at the nomination, followed by being shortlisted as a finalist. However, the culmination of her hard work earned her Gold winner status. As a winner, Dani attributes her success to the publication of her bestselling book Franchise Fame, the multiple franchise clients she helps on a daily basis, enabling them to reach and exceed their marketing KPIs as well as to the continued efforts put in to make Franchise Fame one of the world’s leading franchise digital marketing agencies. 

Having worked with multiple franchisors on a global scale, Dani has played an instrumental role in their marketing efforts and successes. This is due to the implementation of her 5Fs Franchising Model, which was developed based on real case studies and is discussed in more detail in her book.
