The Freedom to Win Awards

The Freedom to Win Awards
Industry Insights
By Donna O’Toole
‘FREEDOM’ TO WIN AWARDS
As we celebrated ‘Freedom Day’ to signify a return to some sort of normality for the UK, there is a sense of optimism that the business world is – finally – getting back on its feet.
The feeling of being free to express yourself once again has a definite parallel with the awards industry, where virtually all businesses are potentially eligible for a range of different awards – the opportunity to showcase your unique achievements and impact is there for the taking and all it takes is that leap of faith to start your awards journey.
However, with thousands of awards and individual categories out there, it’s a real minefield if you’re not sure which awards are right for you to meet your business’s core goals. That’s where we can help.
CRAFTING A BESPOKE AWARDS STRATEGY
With a clear awards strategy, becoming an award-winner will help you achieve your core business goals.
Our research shows that businesses with a bespoke annual awards strategy win more awards than those without. We will work with you on a one-to-one basis to plan your unique route to awards success. We will then present a detailed awards strategy that will kickstart your awards journey and raise your profile across your industry and beyond.
You will benefit from:
- Full awards assessment, research and analysis
- Exclusive awards insights
- Guidance on which awards you have a good chance of winning, and why
- Detailed information for planning and budgeting for each award
Then, with a full understanding of your best awards opportunities, you can either choose to work on all the award entries and presentations yourself, or instruct us to substantially increase your chances of winning and save you hours of valuable time by selecting one of our full awards service packages.
