How we work with you to create a great business award submission!

 Having been both a winner and a finalist in numerous local, regional and national business awards, The Creative Collective are well positioned to guide you through the process of:

• Selection and criteria of relevant local, regional, national and trade awards for your business
• Identifying what makes your business unique, marketable and positioned for awards
• How to present the submission so it catches the judges eye
• Interview and media training in advance of these activities so you feel prepared and confident as you head into them
• Anticipated time frames, processes and any ceremony occasions.

We like to offer our clients the flexibility to work with us in different ways when it comes to awards namely:

1) The 'do it for me' approach - See the benefit of entering business awards but don't have the time? For much less than you think you could have a first rate awards application prepared by us which will be sent to you for approval and final input before it's submission. If it's the difference between entering an award and not entering one, this is the option for you. Half the battle of getting an award is actually throwing in a submission in the first place! We'll help you make sure it happens and it's not another year passed of 'would've', 'should'ves' but.... didn't. :(

2) You create it, we'll flourish it - Nobody knows your business better than you so it may make sense for you to answer awards questions as best you can with the intimate working knowledge of your business you of course possess. This may be in the form of quick bullet points if you're not much of a writer, or the best possibly crafted words you can muster. We will then carefully review the submission with a fresh pair of eyes for spelling, grammar and wow factor and make suggestions on how the submission may be strengthened. We'll ensure you are complying with the awards criteria (for instance some awards submissions have maximum word counts, some awards submissions will not allow you to 'pretty it up' and the design should be kept to a minimum. We'll also make sure you haven't forgotten any key information that could make your awards submission stand out from the crowd.

If you are allowed to flourish the submission with design elements or other clever presentation techniques, we can also help you brainstorm the shapes and forms this may take, or get our team of graphic designers on the job for you.

Naturally it will all be sent to you for final approval and input before its submission deadline.
