Cause Fokus has been honored as Social Media Agency of the Year at the 7th Annual SpeakerCon, a leadership and communication conference dedicated to helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators amplify their voices in an increasingly tech-driven world.
This year’s SpeakerCon theme, “Lead with Heart. Leverage with Automation,” urged leaders to stay rooted in empathy, authenticity, and human connection while adopting automation as a tool to expand their reach and impact. The conference highlighted people-first communication and authentic messaging that inspires action, helping you speak with clarity, confidence, and conviction across every platform, from Zoom rooms to global stages.
Hosted at the iconic Busboys and Poets, the event brought together influential voices committed to justice, healing, and change. Accepting the award on behalf of Cause Fokus, CEO and founder Brynne Krispin shared a deeply personal journey, a story that began not with a perfect business plan or pitch deck, but with burnout, grief, and uncertainty.
She reflected that the first year of building Cause Fokus was the hardest year of her life. Yet again and again, it was someone else’s story of resilience that kept her moving forward.
Krispin offered this message to anyone navigating a similar season:
Your story is not too much.
It’s not too messy.
It’s never too late to share it.
“The stories we tell and especially the ones we almost didn’t, can be lifelines,” Krispin said. “Someone, somewhere, needs to hear it.”
The award stands as a tribute to the dedication of the Cause Fokus team, whose work empowers social impact organizations through strategic social media, thought leadership, and personal branding for purpose-driven executives. “Thank you for doing social differently and taking risks,” Krispin added. “Your care, creativity, and belief in this work make everything possible.”
She also expressed gratitude to the clients who trust Cause Fokus with their voices and vulnerability: “Thank you for showing up with courage in spaces that weren’t always designed for people like you.”
Cause Fokus offers deep gratitude to Dr. Cheryl Wood, founder of SpeakerCon, for creating a platform that honors both resilience and results. “Your work makes space for so many of us to rise,” said Krispin.
