Franchise Update Media Unveils the Franchise Innovation Awards

Franchise Update Media has announced the Franchise Innovation Awards, a one-of-a-kind program that recognizes innovation in franchising.

The inaugural Franchise Innovation Awards will highlight franchise systems that demonstrate the core values of business innovation to build market share and engage employees and customers for business sustainability - brands that instill the vision, strategy, and execution of innovation in their organizations.

Franchise innovators, game-changers, and disruptors now have the opportunity to submit their innovative ideas and results in four categories: 1) Marketing & Branding, 2) Products & Services, 3) Human Resources, and 4) Operations. Each category consists of several awards in different areas of innovation. For full details see the link below.

The call for entries opened March 6, 2019, and will close on April 19, 2019. A panel of expert judges will decide the best of the best.

Winners in the Marketing & Branding category will be celebrated at Franchise Update Media’s annual Franchise Marketing Leadership Conference in Atlanta, June 18–20, 2019. All finalists for the Franchise Marketing Leadership Award will be invited to share their innovation stories at the conference. The winner of the Franchise Marketing Leadership Award will be announced during a special awards dinner on June 19.

All the winners in each of the four categories will be profiled in Franchise Update magazine and Multi-Unit Franchisee magazine, in Franchise Update Media’s newsletters and social media, and archived online on Franchising.com.
