“Because the Codie Awards is the only peer-recognition program in the industry, the nomination is that much more meaningful to us,” added Sproles. “It’s one thing to claim you are the ‘leading provider’ of such-and-such, and another thing entirely to have your peers and competitors validate that claim.”
