Hello!

I'm Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief at Fast Company, and I'm writing because we have not received your submission to be considered for our 2024 edition of Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards. The final deadline to apply is tomorrow, Friday, June 7, at 11:59 p.m. PT. 

Applying for Brands That Matter is a great way to tell Fast Company, and the world about your brand's unique connection with your audience and how you've maintained cultural relevance in a crowded landscape. This year we've introduced several new categories including CMOs of the Year. These awards will celebrate the marketing leaders whose vision and creativity have led their brands to new heights.

Innovation is central to Fast Company's mission, and we created Brands That Matter to highlight the brands that are making a difference—and are more than the products they sell. If you believe your brand is worthy of recognition, I hope you will consider applying. Our editorial team carefully evaluates every single application.

The top brands will be featured in the Winter 2024/2025 print issue of Fast Company magazine and on fastcompany.com.

The application is easy, just four questions. Go to fastcompany.com/apply/BTM to submit online. 

If you have any questions at all, just reply directly to this email and someone on my team will get right back to you.

Cordially,
Brendan Vaughan
Editor-in-Chief
Fast Company
