Overview:
Kasdyn Click, founder of Presence News, is in the running for the 2026 Entrepreneur of Impact Award. As independent media continues to rise, readers now have the chance to vote and support a platform built on real-world coverage and direct community engagement.
In a moment that reflects the evolving landscape of modern media and entrepreneurship, Presence News founder Kasdyn Click has been officially nominated for the Entrepreneur of Impact Award, a national competition recognizing individuals building meaningful influence in their industries.
The award, which brings together entrepreneurs from across the country, offers a unique opportunity for one winner to be featured in a two-page advertorial in Entrepreneur Magazine, participate in a one-on-one mentorship with business leader Daymond John, and receive a $25,000 prize.
For Click, the nomination represents more than personal recognition — it signals a broader shift in how independent media platforms are gaining traction through direct community engagement, event coverage, and firsthand reporting.
Building Presence Through Real-World Coverage
Founded with a focus on documenting real experiences rather than relying solely on traditional press cycles, Presence News has steadily expanded its reach through on-the-ground coverage of business events, red carpets, civic meetings, and industry expos across Los Angeles and beyond.
Rather than positioning itself as a conventional newsroom, the platform has leaned into a hybrid model — blending journalism, video storytelling, and direct audience interaction.
That approach has led to:
- Hundreds of published articles
- A rapidly growing video library
- Increasing visibility across search and social platforms
- Citations from a growing number of external sources
The nomination for Entrepreneur of Impact reflects this momentum.
The Award: Entrepreneur of Impact
The Entrepreneur of Impact competition highlights individuals who are not only building successful ventures, but also contributing to their communities and industries in meaningful ways.
The selected winner will receive:
- A feature in Entrepreneur Magazine, one of the most recognized business publications globally
- A private mentorship session with Daymond John, founder of FUBU and investor on Shark Tank
- A $25,000 cash award to further their business efforts
Daymond John, known for turning a $40 investment into a multi-billion-dollar brand, remains one of the most recognizable figures in entrepreneurship — making the mentorship component a significant opportunity for any finalist.
Why This Matters for Independent Media
As traditional media models continue to shift, independent platforms like Presence News are increasingly playing a role in how stories are discovered, shared, and amplified.
The nomination highlights a growing trend:
- Audiences are seeking firsthand, experience-driven content
- Businesses value direct visibility over traditional press cycles
- Event-based journalism is becoming a key distribution channel
In many ways, the recognition extends beyond one individual — it reflects the viability of independent publishing in today’s media environment.
