Julie Corney’s journey in the printing industry began early in her career as a graphic designer, gradually expanding into project management, consulting, and print brokerage. Her experience across multiple roles in the industry gave her a deep understanding of how businesses use printed communications—and where inefficiencies often occur. When Julie stepped into partial ownership of Pixim Solutions, acquiring 50% ownership and a leadership role , she brought a renewed vision focused on modernization, transparency, and operational efficiency. Her goal was not only to deliver print services but to help organizations optimize their communication workflows from concept to production . What Makes Pixim Solutions Unique Pixim Solutions operates through a strategic brokerage model  that allows the company to remain independent from production limitations.

In addition, working in a traditionally male-dominated industry  required resilience, confidence, and a strong commitment to demonstrating expertise and leadership. Julie approached these challenges with determination and strategic thinking, repositioning the company from a transactional print broker into a value-driven advisory partner  focused on long-term client success. Through persistence and innovation, she has helped strengthen the company’s brand, operations, and client relationships.

The 8th International Women Awards 2026 by Great Companies  celebrates visionary women who are creating meaningful change across industries through innovation, leadership, and purpose. Among this year’s inspiring winners is Jessica Adanich , Founder and Executive Director of Sharkapalooza, Inc. , recognized as Winner – Women Leader in Art-Driven Ocean Conservation . Through a unique fusion of creativity, education, and community engagement, Jessica has built a movement that connects people with marine conservation in powerful and accessible ways. Based in Tampa, Florida, USA , Sharkapalooza is a nonprofit initiative that uses art and storytelling to raise awareness about sharks and ocean ecosystems while supporting real-world marine research and conservation efforts. Company Overview Founder:  Jessica Adanich Organization:  Sharkapalooza, Inc. Location:  Tampa, Florida, USA Founded:  2025 Industry:  Nonprofit – Art, Education & Marine Conservation Website:   https://www.sharkapalooza.org/ LinkedIn :   https://www.linkedin.com/company/sharkapalooza The Vision Behind Sharkapalooza Sharkapalooza was created with a bold and inspiring vision: to use art as a catalyst for ocean conservation . Founder Jessica Adanich believed that awareness and education around marine ecosystems could become more powerful when combined with creativity, community engagement, and storytelling. What began as a personal artistic initiative eventually evolved into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to shark and ocean conservation . The Sharkapalooza festival brings together artists, scientists, families, conservation organizations, and ocean enthusiasts in a vibrant celebration of marine life. Through immersive experiences and creative expression, the event helps people see sharks not as creatures to fear, but as essential and fascinating parts of our planet’s ecosystems. What Makes Sharkapalooza Unique Sharkapalooza stands apart because it merges art, education, conservation, and community  into a single immersive experience. Rather than operating as a traditional environmental nonprofit, Sharkapalooza creates a welcoming platform where creativity becomes a gateway to learning about marine ecosystems. Key elements of the Sharkapalooza experience include: Ocean-inspired art exhibitions featuring local and international artists Interactive educational activities for families and children Community gatherings that celebrate ocean culture and creativity Music, entertainment, and local food experiences Fundraising initiatives that directly support shark conservation The organization proudly partners with OCEARCH  as its official conservation benefactor partner, helping fund global shark research, tracking programs, and science-based conservation efforts. Key Achievements & Impact • Founder of Sharkapalooza , a nonprofit ocean conservation festival • Built an art-driven platform that connects artists, educators, and conservation advocates • Organized multiple Sharkapalooza events bringing communities together for ocean awareness • Established partnerships supporting real-world shark research and conservation • Developed a creative movement that transforms environmental education into an engaging community experience The Journey Behind the Movement The origins of Sharkapalooza trace back nearly two decades. Jessica Adanich’s journey began with a powerful conservation graphic created to raise awareness about shark finning , one of the most serious threats facing sharks globally. What started as a simple piece of advocacy art gradually evolved into a larger mission. Her creative work led to the development of Fuzzy Sharks , an immersive art installation designed to challenge people’s perception of sharks. By transforming sharks into tactile, soft sculptures inspired by the concept of biophilia, the project encouraged people to connect emotionally with marine life in a completely new way. Over time, the idea expanded beyond art into a larger vision — a community event where creativity, education, and conservation could intersect. This vision ultimately became Sharkapalooza, a festival and nonprofit movement dedicated to protecting sharks and ocean ecosystems. Overcoming Challenges Building Sharkapalooza required transforming a passion project into a fully structured nonprofit organization. Jessica navigated the complexities of nonprofit formation, board development, sponsorship acquisition, partnership alignment, and large-scale event planning — often all at the same time. Establishing credibility within the conservation space, which is often dominated by larger institutions, required persistence and dedication. Despite these challenges, her commitment to creative conservation and community-driven advocacy helped Sharkapalooza grow into a recognized platform for ocean awareness and engagement. Advice for Women Entrepreneurs Jessica encourages aspiring women founders to act boldly and lead with purpose. “Start before you feel ready. Many women wait until everything is perfect — the plan, the funding, the confidence. But movements begin with courage, not perfection. Build something aligned with your values and keep showing up with consistency and integrity.” Her message reflects the philosophy that meaningful impact is built through vision, resilience, and long-term commitment. Looking Ahead With each new event, Sharkapalooza continues to expand its mission of bringing art, community, and conservation together. Future plans include growing the festival’s reach, strengthening partnerships with conservation organizations, and creating new opportunities for artists and educators to inspire ocean stewardship. By turning creativity into action, Jessica Adanich and Sharkapalooza are helping build a future where awareness leads to conservation and communities become active guardians of the ocean.

Through Six Waves Digital, she focuses on delivering holistic marketing strategies  that combine blog writing, email marketing, social media support, consultancy, and training. Her approach ensures businesses are not simply following trends but building sustainable marketing systems rooted in authentic communication and long-term growth. At the heart of the company’s philosophy is the belief that marketing is ultimately about people — not algorithms . What Makes Six Waves Digital Stand Out Six Waves Digital distinguishes itself through a story-first approach to marketing .

This dedication reflects Keeley’s broader belief that marketing should not only drive business growth but also amplify meaningful causes and positive social impact .

Like many women founders in competitive industries, Keeley had to consistently demonstrate her expertise while navigating the challenges of establishing credibility in the marketing sector. In addition, she built her business while living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) . Rather than limiting her leadership, this experience strengthened her empathy, emotional awareness, and understanding of what it means to feel unheard or overlooked. This perspective fuels her mission to help businesses and founders find their voice, increase visibility, and confidently share their story with the world . Through resilience and purpose-driven leadership, Keeley transformed personal challenges into a powerful foundation for compassionate and impactful entrepreneurship. Advice for Women Entrepreneurs Keeley encourages aspiring women entrepreneurs to trust their voice and take action even before they feel fully ready. “Too often, women wait until everything is perfect before starting. But growth comes from action, not perfection. Your lived experiences and perspective are your greatest leadership strengths. Define your own version of success and surround yourself with communities that uplift and support you.” Her advice highlights the importance of authenticity, resilience, and collaboration in building meaningful and sustainable businesses. Looking Ahead As Six Waves Digital continues to grow, Keeley Newman-Goodall aims to expand her impact by helping more businesses develop marketing strategies rooted in authenticity, clarity, and human connection.

IVF Babble – Top Brand to Watch 2026 Industry / Category: Health & Wellness | Fertility Media, Advocacy & Digital Health Platforms Founded In: 2016 Headquarters: London, United Kingdom & New York, United States Founder: Tracey Bambrough Company Website: ivfbabble.com About the Company IVF Babble is an award-winning global fertility platform redefining how people struggling to conceive are informed, supported, and empowered throughout their fertility journey. From its inception, IVF Babble challenged the traditionally clinical and isolating tone of fertility communication. By introducing inclusive imagery, accessible language, and what became known as “babble-ising” fertility content, the platform made complex and emotionally charged topics easier to understand and less lonely for the global TTC (Trying to Conceive) community. Beyond content, IVF Babble has become a powerful voice in fertility awareness and advocacy — co-creating World Fertility Day  alongside Louise Brown, the world’s first IVF-born baby, and launching the now-iconic Pineapple Pin , a global symbol of hope and solidarity that has been exhibited at the Science Museum. Key Challenges Overcome & Innovations IVF Babble emerged in a landscape where infertility was widely stigmatised and poorly understood. Early challenges included breaking through silence, mistrust, and misinformation in a sensitive healthcare space. The platform responded by building trust through expert-led, evidence-based content combined with lived patient stories — bridging the gap between medical authority and human experience. As fertility journeys remained fragmented across clinics, wellbeing services, finance, and emotional support, IVF Babble expanded beyond media into ecosystem-building. In 2026, the launch of Babble Connect  marks a major innovation — creating a trusted global discovery and support platform that connects patients with verified clinics, experts, wellbeing providers, and services in one place. Alongside this, IVF Babble stepped firmly into advocacy, delivering a 116,000-signature petition to 10 Downing Street and continuing to campaign for fertility fairness and access worldwide. Why Customers Choose the Company The global TTC community chooses IVF Babble because it feels human, safe, and trustworthy. People trust the platform for its compassionate tone, credible expert guidance, and commitment to representing the whole fertility journey — medical, emotional, mental, and financial. IVF Babble normalises conversations around IVF, miscarriage, donor conception, surrogacy, and loss without shame or stigma. More than a publisher, IVF Babble connects, advocates, and stands alongside its community — reminding people navigating infertility that they are seen, heard, and not alone. Why It’s a Brand to Watch in 2026 IVF Babble is a brand to watch in 2026 because it is evolving from a leading fertility media platform into a fully connected global fertility ecosystem. As fertility care becomes more complex — shaped by inequality of access, mental health needs, employer benefits, and global regulation — IVF Babble’s role as a trusted navigator is more critical than ever. The launch of Babble Connect  positions the company at the intersection of education, advocacy, technology, and patient empowerment. With its proven ability to lead cultural change, influence policy, and build trusted community-led platforms, IVF Babble is shaping the future of how fertility care is experienced, accessed, and understood worldwide. Vision for 2026 & Beyond IVF Babble’s vision is to ensure that no one navigating infertility ever feels alone, unheard, or unsupported. By 2026 and beyond, the company aims to operate as a fully integrated global fertility ecosystem — combining trusted education, advocacy, discovery tools, expert access, and community support. Advocacy will remain central, with continued efforts to influence governments, employers, and healthcare systems to recognise infertility as a disease and ensure fair access to care. Its long-term ambition is bold and clear: to create a world where fertility care is compassionate, equitable, and accessible to all — regardless of gender, geography, income, or family structure.
