Ashley McCann Nominated for San Diego Magazine Celebrating Women Awards


Recently Creative Director and GoBeRewarded Media Director Ashley McCann was nominated for the 2022 San Diego Magazine Celebrating Women Awards.  The awards are designed to celebrate women who are doing incredible things in San Diego and beyond.  The magazine cites the award ceremony as a way to celebrate San Diegans who are making waves and changing the game. Many of the women honored are  female changemakers, groundbreakers and visionaries that are leading San Diego!


McCann was apart of 400 submissions, only roughly half of which made it through to the finalist round.  The finalists will now be vetted down to the top five in each category by a panel comprised of unbiased women at San Diego Magazine and previous finalists.  The categories include Builders, Creators, Activists, Healers, Public Servants, and Moguls along with San Diego Magazine’s selected Woman of the Year.

A list of nomination categories including builder , creator , activist , healer , and public servants.

McCann was nominated for the Creator category after successfully helping GoBeRewarded merge with another video production company this year.  McCann was a key contributor and essential part of an acquisition that recently happened at GoBeRewarded.  Thanks to her leadership a merger with a small video production company was smooth and successful.  This merger will eventually help GoBeRewarded expand its offerings in the future, enable our staff to take on new challenges and grow creatively. 


As a leader, McCann embraced the challenge and change that accompanied the acquisition.  She met with her team members individually and discussed how their roles would eventually change.


The nominees will be honored on November 17th from 6pm-9pm at the Town & Country Resort.  For more information about the event click here.  If you are interested in attending click here to buy tickets.

This week, while helping a Vista nail salon improve their SEO, something unusual caught our attention. In the Google Map Pack, under a listing of local nail salons, a new option appeared: “Have AI check prices.” Naturally, we clicked it.

ChatGPT has transformed how we search for information , from writing help to answering complex questions. It’s fast, conversational, and remarkably capable at understanding what we mean even when we’re vague. But when it comes to finding local businesses or services , ChatGPT isn’t ready to replace Google Maps, Yelp, or other local search tools just yet. Here’s why ChatGPT is powerful but not perfect when it comes to local business discovery.
