New York City-Based Communications and PR Agency Wins Stevie® Award for Elevating Payroll Integrations’ Image from Technology Innovator to a Leader in Financial Wellness
Channel V Media (CVM), a public relations and communications agency that builds market momentum for fast-growing companies was named a winner of a Gold Stevie Award in the B2B Marketing category for its work developing and promoting Payroll Integrations’ Employee Financial Wellness Report.
When Payroll Integrations set its sights on elevating its story beyond a payroll solution, it became clear the market wasn’t yet having conversations about employee financial wellness in the way Payroll Integrations needed to. To change that, CVM launched Payroll Integrations’ Employee Financial Wellness Report, sparking a larger financial wellness conversation and establishing Payroll Integrations at the forefront of it. Exploring topics ranging from employers’ financial wellness support to employer/employee benefit alignment and benefit education needs, the report garnered 100+ pieces of unique media coverage.
Feature stories in top-tier business outlets including Forbes, CNBC, Fortune, MarketWatch and Newsweek generated millions of views and boosted brand awareness among business audiences. The report was also covered by leading industry HR, benefit and retirement publications, including WorkLife, SHRM, Employee Benefits News, BenefitsPro, Investopedia, 401k Specialist and Digital Insurance.
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.
“Payroll Integrations has consistently stayed ahead of the curve technologically, and this research gave us a powerful vehicle to establish them as a leading voice in the financial wellness space,” said Victoria Jones, Vice President at Channel V Media. “We shaped Payroll Integrations’ research into a story that spoke directly to both HR professionals and business decision-makers, strengthening the company’s presence in the financial wellness dialogue. Seeing that work honored with this award is a proud moment for our team.”
More than 3,700 nominations from individuals and organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Thought Leader of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. Channel V Media was nominated in the B2B Marketing category.
“Organizations across the United States continue to set a high standard for innovation and performance,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller. “The breadth and quality of nominations submitted to The 2026 American Business Awards reflect a dynamic and competitive business environment, where organizations are finding new ways to drive growth, deliver value, and make an impact. We congratulate all of this year’s Stevie Award winners and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments at our June 9 awards ceremony in New York.”
