In 2016, Zoe started her freelance writing business. She built her business part-time while working as a social media assistant at the Daily Mail and a communications assistant at Forensicare. She then transitioned to full-time business ownership as a copywriter and editor in July 2021. Now, she works to help businesses find the perfect words to engage their audiences. As a chronic pain and mental health advocate, she still regularly writes and shares stories to combat the stigma of disability. Specifically, she has worked with organizations like Women With Disabilities Australia, Reach Out, SANE, Endometriosis Australia, and more, creating content that makes a difference in the lives of disabled people.

It’s not about the finances for Zoe, but the impact of her words. Since advocacy is integral to her business, her stories are more to her than just works, but a sign that she is helping someone in their hour of need. She chooses to run her copywriting business in a way that sets her apart from others, accommodating employees and clients who deal with daily health struggles.

Since winning her Silver Stevie Award, Zoe has appeared on a number of podcasts, where she has spoken about her commitment to advocating for chronic pain and mental illness acceptance. Additionally, she presented at the 2021 National Young Writers Festival in Australia, including the panel on Journalism and Trauma: Keeping Safe in an Unsafe World. Zoe has also been continuing to develop her journalism workshop, where she shares the impacts of journalism, how stories stick with readers, and practical advice on how to best support ourselves and others through the storytelling process.

Zoe Simmons won the Silver Stevie Award in the 2021 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business for Young Female Entrepreneur of the Year.

Unter dem Motto „Helfenden Hände“ haben Volksbankmitarbeiter:innen während der Corona-Pandemie unbürokratisch und ehrenamtlich morgens zwischen 6.15 und 8.30 Uhr ihren Bankeranzug gegen Schutzanzug, Atemmaske, Schutzbrille und Einmalhandschuhe ausgetauscht und in Kindergärten und Kindertagesstätten in Offenburg Covid-Tests durchgeführt, damit der Regelbetrieb des täglichen Lebens aufrechterhalten werden konnte.

Ehrenamtliche Unterstützung bei der Covid-19 Testung

27 Zukunftsgestalter:innen waren mehr als 600 Stunden im Einsatz – dieses wertvolle Engagement in schweren Zeiten wurde in den Kategorien zum Umgang mit Covid-19 mit einem Gold Stevie® für die wertvollste Reaktion eines Unternehmens ausgezeichnet.

Darüber hinaus honorierte die Volksbank eG den ehrenamtlich geleisteten Einsatz ihrer Mitarbeitenden mit Sonderurlaub -  für acht Stunden ehrenamtlichen Einsatz erhielten Mitarbeitende 1,5 Tage Sonderurlaub. Insgesamt stellte die Gestalterbank ein Budget von 1.000 Arbeitstagen für die gesamte Crew der Gestalterbank zur Verfügung. 

Auch im Geschäftsgebiet Schwarzwald Baar Hegau kamen die „helfenden Hände“ zum Einsatz. Die 16 Helferinnen und Helfer, die jeden Mittwoch beim Theater am Ring zwischen 9 und 19 Uhr Covid-Tests durchgeführt haben, waren ebenfalls Mitarbeiteitende der Volksbank eG – Die Gestalterbank. Allein durch ihren Einsatz, konnte das Testzentrum an diesen Tagen betrieben werden. In zwei Schichten mit je mindestens fünf Personen haben sie an einem Tag in der Woche die Stadt Villingen-Schwenningen in ihrer Teststrategie unterstützt.

„Soziales Engagement liegt schon immer in unserem genossenschaftlichen genetischen Code und ist für uns eine Selbstverständlichkeit“, so Markus Dauber – Co-Vorstandsvorsitzender der "Volksbank eG – Die Gestalterbank". „Wir sind stolz auf unsere Mitarbeiter und deren Engagement. Und wir freuen uns, dass dieser Einsatz öffentliche Anerkennung findet. Immerhin sind wir in einer Kategorie, in der die Mitbewerber American Express Payments Europe, DHL und Ziemer & Falke GmbH & Co.KG heißen, als Sieger hervorgegangen.“

Schutz der Mitarbeitenden

Neben dem Schutz der Bevölkerung steht der Schutz der eigenen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern ganz oben auf der Agenda der Gestalterbank. Bereits im März 2020 hatte die Bank ihren Mitarbeiter:innen Coronatests angeboten und stellt nun bis zu 20 Selbsttests im Monat zur Verfügung.  

Gestalterbank-Impfangebot - Nachdem die Priorisierung bei den Impfungen am 7. Juni 2021 aufgehoben wurde, hat die Volksbank eG sofort reagiert und ihren Mitarbeiter:innen sehr zeitnah die Covid-Impfungen durch ihre Betriebsärzte ermöglicht. 390 Mitarbeiter wurden in der Bank geimpft.

110.000 Masken wurden von der Bank bestellt. Ca. 20.000 FFP2 Masken davon wurden an Altenheime, Pflegeheime, caritative Einrichtungen etc. gespendet. Der Rest wurde/wird laufend den Mitarbeitern zur Verfügung gestellt. Für 5.000 Euro wurden Lebensmittel an die Tafel gespendet Bereits im März 2020 wurden Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für Kunden und Mitarbeiter in den Filialen und im Backoffice umgesetzt. 600 Banker sind seither im Homeoffice.

Cindy Childress, CEO of Childress Business Communication, won Gold in one of the broadest, most competitive categories in The 2021 International Business Awards®: Company of the Year - Business or Professional Services. Then it won Gold again – for Company of the Year – Media & Entertainment. In the American Business Awards for 2022, Childress Business Communication did it yet again, with a third Company-wide Gold.

How Cindy Childress did it is this: in a field packed with companies that offer writing and editing services, Childress brought a razor-sharp focus on entrepreneurs-as-authors instead of on the usual broad base of “anyone goes.” The company provides book-writing excellence in a business where editorial excellence too easily falls by the wayside; the compassion to get entrepreneurs through the editorial process without the usual stress; and, yes, the business savvy to make sure their books sell.

The recipe sets the company apart and the judges clearly took notice. As one wrote, “Amazing work by Childress to support people who have ideas but may lack execution.” And this, more than once: “Great job! Keep it up!”

Childress also won for the specific work she did during the “awards years” of 2019 through 2021, which included the all-important time period when Covid-19 ravaged the globe.

As Covid spread, Childress Business Communication had its biggest month ever thanks to the popularity of book-writing as millions the world over were in lockdown.

An expert in social media, Cindy Childress took to Instagram and offered her first Zoom Masterclass aimed at business owners. And so they signed up – in droves – from Japan to Europe to Los Angeles. Women all, many using books to create their businesses in the first place.

Then Childress offered an expensive add-on after the Masterclass: a book coaching program with a VIP Service where, in addition to the class itself, Childress reads your manuscript, chapter by rough chapter. The “droves” continued to sign up, no matter the cost, and grateful still for the hands-on help in launching their business from the ground up.

Then, via a new website, Childress went full-on comprehensive offering clients what they need to succeed, none more so than a brilliantly conceived “elevator pitch.” As Childress says, “Most CEOs can’t describe their businesses, causing what I know is serious damage to the bottom line.”

As for Ghostwriting and co-writing books - important services for entrepreneurs who are often too busy to spend 100s of hours writing a book - it was back in 2017 that Childress launched her company with those services in mind. Childress staffed the young company with a team of writers and editors only to discover that she herself was “a ghostwriting genius” who could pen a tome in less time and with more flair than most.

Against the recommendations of many others, she became “Ghostwriter-in-Chief.” During the awards period, the company worked on many popular books from the self-help “The Logical Law Of Attraction” to the timely tome on college admission aimed at moms and the likes of an African American author who knew Childress alone could capture her “Caribbean voice.” Real estate and financial books hit the Amazon bestseller lists.

Revenues went up 30%; newsletter subscriptions 300%. And, yes, a percentage of all sales went to underserved entrepreneurs, as has been done since the company began.

During Covid as well, the company offered one-of-a-kind “book rescues” to help clients bring clarity and “purpose” to books already written and tossed aside - as they often are - due to poor sales.

The company’s awards period(s) Amazon bestsellers include “The Money Tree”; “How Good Humans Sell” (debuted #1 in leadership); “Unlock Your Potential”; “Mailbox Money Mindset”, among others.

Major media came calling, too, including U.S. News & World Report.

The first website powerfully focused on Childress herself debuted, too. Often described as “stylish” and “charming, Childress has a Ph.D. in English, too. From Australia to Hong Kong. Europe, Canada, and Mexico writers saw that site and signed up.

While this CEO remained highly paid as always ($30,000-plus is routine for a ghostwritten book) while offering free 'Getting Started' courses and much-needed elevator pitch assistance to her entrepreneurial base.

A longtime supporter of women’s causes, Childress also knew Instagram audiences would be largely female – and that they would sign up for the Masterclasses, which they did. For them Childress had a unique warning: avoid “feminine writing.” “Women downplay their work. I teach them otherwise.”

The Stevie Awards chose Childress to host their 2021 webinar on corporate storytelling – to great success.

Convertyourfollowers.com was created to serve one major purpose; to educate brands and individuals on how to convert their social media followers to customers. Sophie saw that even major brands failed to convert fans to sales, so she set up convertyourfollowers.com to educate the world and help business owners improve their sales. 

The proven process was first tested on a giveaway collaboration with BALMAIN and a celebrity entrepreneur. Within 24 hours, they received 950 email subscribers which were then retargeted with email marketing campaigns. Sales of the entrepreneur's beauty brand were up by 38% that month with no cost. The process was so successful that Shark Tank's Kevin Harrington said, “This is such a niche and unique business model which I think is a lifeline for businesses.” 

Sophie is now shattering glass ceilings by educating business owners and individuals on how to implement this process themselves to cut out the costly marketing middlemen. Typically, this service would cost thousands of dollars a month, but her goal is to help business owners save their businesses or ensure that they thrive rather than survive the aftermath of COVID. She has won multiple awards for her pro bono efforts to support business owners throughout the pandemic.

Since winning the Gold Stevie Award for Company of the Year, Sophie started to launch her book, How to Convert Your Social Media Followers to Customers. Additionally, Sophie has been featured on billboards in Times Square as an example of an inspirational immigrant who launched two patented technology brands in the past year. Following the success of the BALMAIN campaign, she integrated a $200 voting poll plugin on the celebrity entrepreneur's website and launched a monthly makeup contest to tap into her army of influencers for her makeup and beauty brands. The influencers used their own social channels to ask for votes from their followers, driving 63,000 unique visitors to the celebrity entrepreneur's blog within 24 hours. Many of these visitors gave their email addresses and were retargeted via marketing campaigns which saw sales of her brands increase by 70% the following month. 

Convertyourfollowers.com won Gold for Company of the Year – Business Products – 10 or Less Employees at the 2021 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business.
