"[Last year] was a transitional time for Revolver with a new team in place, so we needed to really take a step back from the awards show to make sure that when we did decide to bring it back, it was done the right way," says Chris Enriquez, Revolver's manager of sales and business development. "That time enabled us to plan properly and make sure we could bring it back in the best way possible. We couldn’t be more proud of what we are delivering on December 13 and honestly couldn't have pulled it off without really taking our time. We know our audience won't be disappointed."
