Raoul Davis, Ceo and Richelle Payne, Partner, both of Ascendant Group Branding are proud to have been recognized as one of the area’s most accomplished business leaders in our industry by being awarded with the 2022 Philadelphia Titan Award. The Philadelphia Titan awards are annually held by Titan 100, a program that recognizes a premier group of CEO’s and C-level executives in Philadelphia and the greater metropolitan area.
Titan 100 explains that a titan is a person of exceptional importance and reputation. For example, Albert Einstein was a titan in the world of science, Shakespeare was a titan of literature and Wayne Gretzky was a titan of hockey. The noun titan comes from Greek mythology, in which the Titans were a race of gods. Today, a titan is reputable, distinguished, and preeminent in a certain field.
As Philadelphia Titans, Raoul Davis and Richelle Payne will be recognized at an annual awards event in September 2022 and will be given the opportunity to connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans. This exclusive group of Titans will be able to network and grow their professional connections at all types of private events. Furthermore, all Titan 100 designees will be published in the exclusive Titan100 Book, profiled online with individual landing pages, and recognized throughout the year in multiple platforms, venues and organizations.
On top of Titan 100’s Philadelphia award, they also offer awards in Colorado, Georgia, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Louis and Wisconsin. To learn more about Titan 100 and the awards they offer, click here.
