Widewail Wins AWA Award in Reputation Management

In March 2022, the AWA awards ceremony in Las Vegas recognized Widewail with an Automotive Reputation Management Vendor award.

In March of 2022, during the AWA awards ceremony in Las Vegas, Widewail was recognized for our strides in online reputation management with an Automotive Reputation Management Vendor award winner. Being one of only two award recipients in this category is a proud moment for the team. We’ve hit milestones before, but this was our first major award acknowledging our impact on the market.

AWA helps automotive vendors develop their products for today’s dealerships, and their awards ceremony highlights vendors who are making real and meaningful strides to benefit dealers. Awards are given out to celebrate the top companies in 20 different categories, including Digital Marketing, Sales Process, Reputation Management, and Video. 

 

Award recipients are selected after a thorough review process where companies and products are reviewed, researched, and rated. We’re delighted to see how AWA recognizes the power of positive reviews and high ratings.

Widewail attended the ceremony and Chris Bouchard accepted the award onstage.

After winning the award, Matt Murray, Widewail’s CEO said to the whole Widewail team: “This is our very first award. It was earned. [I’m] super proud of all of us for achieving this milestone. The momentum is real.”
