A
wide selection of our products – including crystal, acrylic and glass awards – can
be enhanced with custom etched graphics. This option
allows for the transformation of a stock product into something truly unique
and special. We have a number of patterns available and can print and etch custom graphics as well.
What did you study in college? What was your first job
coming out of school?
My study in
college was Economics, although I spent the majority of my four years managing
a store on campus. It was a lot more
fun. My first job was international
expatriate compensation consulting (yawn.) I worked with multinational companies to come up with cost of living
adjustments for employees who were working abroad to make sure that they could
maintain the same standard of living as they would at home, adjusting for
exchange rate changes, inflation rates, even lifestyle changes (for example, in
Lagos Nigeria all expats have to hire a driver to safely get around.)
Since it’s inauguration in 2014, the iHeartRadio Music
Awards have been a resounding success. Each year, the program recognizes incredibly talented artists with honors such as “Best Fan Army” and “Artist of the Year.” Yet we believe the real win is being able to take home the exquisite iHeartRadio
trophy!
For the fourth year in a row, Society Awards has been included in the Inc. 500|5000 List!
As the luxury manufacturing and design boutique behind the world’s most iconic honors, we have garnered an array of prominent clientele, ranging from famous artists to distinguished brands and organizations over the years.

Etching refers to the technique of
creating art on the surface of glass. The removal of minute amounts of glass
causes the characteristic rough surface and translucent quality of frosted
glass. As you shop our line of ‘ready-to-award’ designs, make use of our easy
and proprietary application, which enables you to personalize and stylize
awards. Etching a graphic pattern can transform an award and make it seem
custom and artistic.
Where does your inspiration come from?
It varies. Usually for award designs, my inspiration comes from architecture. After I become inspired, I try to figure out each brand’s purpose. I look at their logo, research the brand, and then combine it with Society Awards’ vision.
What do you do when you reach a creative roadblock?
The good thing about Society Awards is that we have a lot of projects going on at the same time. If I notice that something is not working for me creatively, I just switch to another project. I try to distance myself from it then come back to it to see how it goes.

In 2014 we created “The SOCAN”, a one-of-a-kind musical sculpture trophy designed for the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). First introduced at last year’s SOCAN Awards, attendees were in awe of the beautiful design, awarded to Canada’s music creators for major lifetime achievements. The design includes five SABIAN crotales that can be played with a cleverly incorporated brass striker, and is breathtaking to see and hold.

Each year at the Bazaarvoice Summit, a few select companies are
awarded for notable achievements leveraging the voice of the consumer. With
only five awards up for the taking at the 2015 Summit, Society Awards was
tasked with creating a new award design that could be further customized to
each individual award.
At Society Awards, we make some of the most coveted sparkly
statues in the world – most of them actually. We are a dream-statue factory. We
love what we do, and there’s a lot of effort that goes into getting so many
famous objects to such a perfect state and into the most talented hands in the
world.
Collaborating with famous artists to create fine art is always an electrifying experience. And working with renowned artist Ruben Toledo to design and develop a new statuette for the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) American Image Awards, was nothing less than exhilarating.
Each year, the AAFA hosts the American Image Awards to honor
the leaders and innovators in the apparel and footwear industry. When The
Bromley Group, a NYC based communications agency, and the AAFA came to us with
the idea to have the iconic Ruben Toledo design the statuette for 2015, we were
thrilled.
