The Financial Times and McKinsey & Co. have named Sarah Frier’s No Filter as the 💝winner of its 16th annual Business Book of the Year award.

The award celebrates books that pꦍrovide “the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues,” said Roula Khalaf, editor of the Financial Times and chair of the judges panel, at the virtual award ceremony Dec. 1. Frier’s book tells the story of the rise of Instagram and how it became the social and cultural influence it is today.

“The No Filter story is timeless because it’s ultimately about the pursuit of success ... As we learn from the founders of Instagram, that pursuit is not always a happy story in the end,” Frier said in a pre🅷-recorded video shown during the ceremony. 

The panel of eight judges also selected five finalists from the more than 400 entries received. The finalists🐓 explored themes of corporate culture, the future of work, technology, and the U.S. economy. The runners-up will all receive a £10,000 cash prize, while Frier will receive £30,000 for the accomplishment.

The judges also compiled a 15-book longlist in August that highlighted the top books among the entrants.
