We’re proud to share that our CEO, Kevin O’Brien, has been named the Gold Winner for Executive of the Year in the 2025 Best in Biz Awards International. The honor recognizes Kevin’s visionary leadership, innovation, and dedication to building a company culture rooted in connection and community.

Under Kevin’s guidance, BVM has become one of the fastest-growing private companies in its industry, expanding its lineup of marketing solutions designed to help small and midsize businesses grow.

We asked Kevin to share his thoughts:

“I’m deeply honored to receive this recognition, but more than anything, it reflects the exceptional talent and dedication of our team,” he said. “Every employee, Publisher, and business partner plays a vital role in bringing BVM’s mission to life each day. We’re building something truly meaningful together, and I couldn’t be more proud of what our team continues to accomplish.”
