The company's 2026 State of the Mission-Driven Workforce Report won gold for Best Research Report and Bring on Better™: A Complete Brand Transformation for Momentive Software, earned silver for Brand Renovation of the Year.

The International Business Awards are the world's premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide — public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small — are eligible to submit nominations. The 2026 IBAs received entries from organizations in 82 nations and territories. More than 3,400 nominations were submitted for consideration across a wide range of categories, and more than 200 business professionals worldwide participated as judges.

Gold Win: 2026 State of the Mission-Driven Workforce Report

The 2026 State of the Mission-Driven Workforce Report is original research conducted by Wakefield Research and commissioned by Momentive Software to address a gap in publicly available sector data. While most nonprofit and association research focuses on fundraising and program outcomes, little has examined the workforce responsible for delivering that impact. The report surveyed nonprofit and association professionals across the United States on workforce satisfaction, retention risk, career development, and technology challenges, producing a data-driven resource for organizational leaders. Findings were distributed through a companion webinar series and a broader media and communications campaign.

Judges recognized the report's research quality, practical value, and sector relevance:

"The report stands out for its research foundation and relevance to nonprofit leaders. The combination of original data, sector insights, and practical recommendations makes this a highly valuable industry resource."

"The research uncovered several industry-defining insights. By combining rigorous survey data, sector benchmarking, and actionable recommendations, the report provides non-profit and association leaders with one of the most comprehensive workforce analyses available. These insights are vital for organizations to improve retention, capacity, and focus on their mission."

"Genuinely valuable original research filling a real gap in nonprofit workforce data. The career-path-to-retention finding is a compelling, well-supported insight backed by solid methodology."

"Historically, purpose-driven organizations have lacked access to the best-in-class technology and software solutions that other industries take for granted and closing that gap is exactly what Momentive was created to do. Through the products we build and the research we commission, our mission is to give nonprofits and associations what they need to aim higher and achieve their goals. The 2026 State of the Mission-Driven Workforce Report is part of that commitment, giving organizational leaders the data they need to make more informed decisions about their most important asset: their people," said Ravi Venkatesan, CEO of Momentive Software.

Silver Win: Bring on Better™ — A Complete Brand Transformation for Momentive Software

Bring on Better™ launched in September 2025, completing Momentive Software's transition from its former Community Brands identity to a unified brand built around a clear purpose. The campaign was developed following extensive client and market research that identified a defining tension in the sector: nonprofits and associations under mounting pressure to deliver more with shrinking resources and fragmented technology. That insight shaped the brand's core positioning and its three-part value framework — Connect More, Manage More, and Expect More — which now anchors how Momentive communicates across sales, marketing, and client success. The campaign launched with enterprise-wide activation timed to key industry conference seasons, and its market impact was measurable: LinkedIn impressions grew 739% between the first and second halves of 2025.

Judges praised the depth, clarity, and strength of the rebrand:

"Love the 'Bring on Better' tagline — it is clear, scalable, and commercially strong. The client recognition program born directly from the brand's rally cry is a fantastic way of creating brand momentum in the markets they serve."

"Clearly articulates the strategic pivot from a legacy holding-company name to an inspiring, modern brand identity. It builds a seamless connection between market positioning, internal alignment, and impressive growth metrics following the campaign launch."

"Solid and deep brand revamp and rollout across sales, reusable templates, booths, training, and award shows — true enterprise activation."

"When we built the Bring on Better brand, we wanted it to describe something real: a chain reaction that starts with better tools and ends with better outcomes for our clients and their missions," said Tawny Kotchko, SVP of Corporate Marketing at Momentive Software. "When we help an organization connect its data, simplify its operations, and grow its reach, they can deliver more for the people depending on it. The brand we built is rooted in that idea, and having it recognized on an international stage is something the whole team should be proud of."
