NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2014) - Susan Lindner, founder and CEO of Emerging Media, was recognized alongside thirty-nine other distinguished female business leaders at the Brava! Awards ceremony in New York. Created in conjunction with New York SmartCEO and title sponsor WeiserMazars LLP, the awards program celebrates the entrepreneurial and philanthropic spirit of New York's top women leaders. The awards committee recognized Susan's innovation and unwavering passion for supporting disruptive entrepreneurial companies at Emerging Media, where she leads a team of dedicated branding, marketing, PR and social media professionals.
"The Brava Awards are a reflection of the incredible female leaders making a difference in the City today and it's a humbling experience to be seated next to such powerful, entrepreneurial women," said CEO & Founder Susan Lindner. "First and foremost, this award represents the ceaseless contributions of my team, and the trust and support of our clients, partners and family to help us succeed, every day. I'm truly grateful."
Susan founded the award-winning Lotus Public Relations in 2002 in the wake of the first tech bubble, growing it into one of the top 20 fastest growing PR firms in New York. In 2009, the company transformed with the advent of social media, and Lotus became Emerging Media -- a full-service brand, PR, marketing and social agency. In addition to leading her business, Susan has served as 3-year delegate to the G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance and as a local and regional member leader in the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO). Susan also sits on the board of Tricycle Magazine.

Every one of this year's winners exhibits these qualities in running their business, their families and their philanthropic activities," says Rick Crane, regional president of SmartCEO Media. "They give 110 percent of themselves."
