We’re beyond proud to share that two of Arm Candy’s brightest were recognized at the 2025 Dallas Fort Worth Interactive Marketing Association (DFWIMA) Excellence in Interactive Marketing Awards, held on May 15th at the Arts District Mansion.
Whitney Kelly – Account Manager of the Year
Stacy Granado – Agency Planner of the Year
These honors are a direct reflection of Whitney and Stacy’s intellect, determination, and ability to get s*it done — along with the dedication they bring to their roles and the lasting impact they’ve made on our clients, our team, and our agency.
Whitney Kelly, recently promoted to Media Supervisor, is a standout example of making a major impact in a short amount of time. In less than a year at Arm Candy, her talent for relationship-building and strategic thinking has earned her the trust of high-profile clients across diverse industries — and delivered meaningful, measurable results. Whitney is the kind of team member who not only executes flawlessly but also mentors, uplifts, and inspires those around her. And while she proudly aligns with House Slytherin, she brings the best qualities from all the wizarding houses — turning challenges into opportunities and ideas into impact. This award simply confirms what we’ve always known: Whitney is a true force in the industry.
Stacy Granado, our Associate Director of Media, earned her Agency Planner of the Year recognition through a powerful blend of strategic foresight, deep experience, and a sharp ability to translate data into action. With over 15 years in the industry, she approaches every brief with curiosity and rigor — uncovering key learnings, aligning with business goals, and drawing on customer insights to shape truly effective media strategies. Whether she’s evolving campaign approaches or introducing fresh partnership ideas, Stacy consistently delivers thoughtful, measurable plans that move the needle. She leads with clarity, empowers her team, and sets a standard of excellence that elevates every project she touches.
To be the highest-quality agency, you need the highest-quality people — and Stacy and Whitney are the perfect examples of how this vision is brought to life.
