Ladybird Digital Impact Honors 2025
Your interview will be reviewed by a panel of three independent pet industry specialists, who will assess how you bring clarity, authenticity, and impact to your message. Their role is to recognize the digital leaders whose stories and choices will inspire others and set the tone for the future.
When you share your perspective, we encourage you to:
- Highlight your visionary clarity — cutting through the noise to focus on what truly matters.
- Showcase an authentic digital presence that educates, connects, and inspires.
- Share courageous decisions that shaped your path and influenced others.
- Use the power of storytelling to create connection and spark action.
- Demonstrate digital leadership and collaboration by amplifying voices beyond your own.
- Offer a glimpse of the future impact you see for the pet industry.
The Digital Impact Honors differ from our in-person Excellence Awards, which recognize business performance and operational results. Here, the spotlight is firmly on the human voice, the digital stage, and the clarity of vision that inspires transformation globally.
The award winners will be announced at the beginning of November 2025, following the review of all interviews.
