Shield Bar Marketing Wins 2025 AZ19 Readers’ Picks Award – 4th Year in a Row

GREEN VALLEY, Ariz. — November 10, 2025 — Shield Bar Marketing is thrilled to announce that we’ve been voted as the winner in the 2025 AZ19 Readers’ Picks Awards presented by the Green Valley News and Sahuarita Sun—marking our fourth consecutive year receiving this community honor. Thank you to our clients, neighbors, and friends across the AZ-19 corridor for your votes and trust. Your support fuels everything we do.

Over the past several years, readers have consistently recognized Shield Bar Marketing in the Best Marketing Services category, reflecting our commitment to strategy-first websites, SEO, and brand storytelling that helps local businesses grow. We first captured the title in 2022, repeated in 2023, and continued our momentum through 2024—culminating in today’s 2025 win.

“This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our community,” said Nikole Haumont, founder of Shield Bar Marketing. “Earning your vote four years running tells us our work is making a real difference for Southern Arizona businesses—and that’s the only scoreboard that matters.”

Why this award matters

The AZ19 Readers’ Picks is a community vote celebrating standout local businesses across dozens of categories in Green Valley and Sahuarita. Being named a winner means residents and readers have seen our impact first-hand—on storefronts, search results, and bottom lines—then took the time to cast a ballot.

A streak built on client wins

Proven results, year after year. Back-to-back wins in 2022 and 2023, followed by 2024 and now 2025, highlight our consistent delivery across web design, SEO, and content.

Expanded capabilities. In 2024 we integrated the Copper Cup Marketing team, adding creative and technical firepower while keeping the white-glove service our community expects.

Deep local roots. From chamber involvement to regional initiatives, we’re committed to moving the AZ-19 business community forward together. (IRP)
