Steel Media's own Danielle Partis walked away with a prize from the MCV Women in Games Awards 2019.
The InfluencerUpdate.biz editor was named Journalist of the Year, beating out strong competition to take away the gong.
The MCV Women in Games Awards 2019 took place on Friday, June 28th at Facebook's headquarters in London.
"It's incredible to be recognised among such a group of talented journalists," Partis said.
"InfluencerUpdate.biz is a young site treading new ground and I'm so glad that the industry is finding value in the work that it offers. I'm passionate about demystifying the influencer industry, but we're also here to hold it accountable for nonsense and help make sense of a space that is still evolving. I'm thrilled to have been recognised for that - huge thank you to MCV and Women In Games."
