ATLANTA, Georgia (July 25, 2023) — CBT News, the dealer community’s No. 1 resource for in-depth interviews and news coverage, announces that Force Marketing, one of the nation’s leading providers of technology-enabled, data-driven, multi-channel marketing services for automotive clients, is the proud sponsor of this year’s 40 Under 40 Awards. As CBT News opens nominations for this prestigious award, the collaboration underscores its commitment to recognizing and celebrating the industry’s top young leaders who drive innovation and excellence in the automotive sector.
From July to mid-September, friends, family members and colleagues can nominate a dealership employee or manager from any department by going to https://www.cbtnews.com/nominate/ and writing a short testimonial describing the positive impacts their candidate has made on their business and community. Qualified entrees may also submit self nominations. To be eligible for an award, participants must be no older than 39 and currently employed at a franchised dealership: candidates turning 40 on or before January 1, 2025 are ineligible for consideration.
The 40 Under 40 celebration is intended to provide more than a new accolade. By earning a spot on this year’s list, candidates put their names before the thousands of automotive professionals, dealers, and executives who get their information from CBT News. Award winners will also receive promotions on the platform’s social media pages, and a trophy will be presented to memorialize their achievements.
CBT News is the only dealership-focused platform that provides a massive library of exclusive interviews with the most influential thought leaders in retail automotive. By launching its own 40 Under 40 ceremony, the company is bringing new awareness to the incredible work ethic and commitment to excellence shared by automotive professionals.
“So much of the work car dealers and their teams do, not only to make the business successful and lucrative, but also to provide for their families, support their neighbors and benefit their communities, goes unrecognized,” stated CBT News co-founder and show host
Jim Fitzpatrick. “This is a small way for us to recognize these individuals and celebrate their efforts.”
