Skyline Wins Bronze Stevie® Award for Nutrabolt’s Dual-Brand Exhibit

Award-Winning “Two Brands. One Island. One Unmistakable Portfolio Story.” Recognized at The 24th Annual American Business Awards®

(St. Paul, Minn. – June 3, 2026) – Skyline Exhibits is proud to announce the company has won a Bronze Stevie® Award in the Brand & Experiences – Exhibition Experience category at The 24th Annual American Business Awards®. The honored entry, “Two Brands. One Island.

One Unmistakable Portfolio Story,” recognized the design and execution of a 30-by-40-foot island exhibit at NACS 2025 that united two of Nutrabolt’s leading brands, C4 Energy and Bloom Nutrition, within a single, unified booth experience.

This marks the second major industry award for the exhibit, following a Platinum honor at the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards. The recognition underscores the power of creative collaboration and strategic brand storytelling on the trade show floor.

The American Business Awards are the U.S.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned.”

More than 3,700 nominations from individuals and organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. Skyline Exhibits was nominated in the Brand & Experiences – Exhibition Experience category for the design and execution of a large-scale, dual-brand trade show exhibit.

An Exhibit Design Challenge Unlike Any Other

Designed by Skyline’s Matt Deweese, the 30-by-40-foot island footprint at NACS 2025 presented a unique creative challenge: how do you give two distinctly different brands, each with its own identity, audience and energy, equal presence within a shared space without either getting lost? The solution was bold and seamless.

Bloom Nutrition made its NACS Show debut as it entered the “Better for You” Soda and Energy Beverage categories. The Bloom space was designed to reflect the brand’s feminine-forward, vibrant personality in every detail, from a custom rug to a branded bar, creating an inviting and unmistakably Bloom environment.

On the C4 Energy side, Skyline partnered with Gen City Labs to deliver an immersive digital activation featuring 3D video vignettes using Forced Perspective on a custom LED screen comprised of two 6-foot-by-8-foot sections angled to a point. The effect brought the C4 Energy x Godzilla beverage campaign to life in a way that stopped attendees in their tracks.

Judges praised the exhibit’s design and execution, noting: “Excellent videos and supporting materials. Great booth designs, especially when considering that two distinct brands shared a common trade show booth space. The visual elements were striking and captivating. Overall, an excellent experience.” Other judges called it a “clever solution for two brands in one exhibit space,” observed that “it is clear who the different brands are,” and noted “So good! I love all of the bright colors.”

“Receiving this recognition from the American Business Awards reinforces what we set out to accomplish: a booth that didn’t just accommodate two brands, but made both stronger for sharing the space,” said Anna Garcia, senior director of trade marketing at Nutrabolt.

“The Skyline team understood our vision from day one and delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations and resonated with every attendee who walked through.”

“The Bloom booth was everything we envisioned and more,” said Kim Trieu, senior experiential manager at Bloom Nutrition. “Skyline captured our brand’s personality, vibrant, feminine and unapologetically bold, in every detail, from the custom rug to the bar to the overall layout. Winning a Stevie Award for this work is a proud moment for our entire team.”

“At C4 Energy, we push boundaries in everything we do, and our NACS booth was no exception,” said Ashley Alfaro, trade marketing manager at C4 Energy. “Partnering with Skyline Exhibits gave us the creative muscle to execute an immersive, high-impact experience that resonated with our retail partners and reinforced our brand presence on one of the industry’s biggest stages. This award is a testament to what happens when great teams collaborate.”

“This Stevie Award is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the bold creative vision our team brought to life for Nutrabolt,” said Wendy Gibson, chief marketing officer at Skyline Exhibits. “Designing a space where two powerful, distinct brands coexist and each shine is no small feat. Our team’s ability to translate brand personality into a physical experience is what drives everything we do, and this recognition validates the craftsmanship and strategy behind every decision.”

More than 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

“Organizations across the United States continue to set a high standard for innovation and performance,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller. “The breadth and quality of nominations submitted to The 2026 American Business Awards reflect a dynamic and competitive business environment, where organizations are finding new ways to drive growth, deliver value, and make an impact. We congratulate all of this year’s Stevie Award winners and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments at our June 9 awards ceremony in New York.”
