Awards writing services for stronger award submissions
Being shortlisted for—and winning—industry, partner, and broader business awards is a great way to demonstrate your credibility to customers, partners, the media, and the general public alike.
Award wins indicate that a business or individual is an industry leader and considered outstanding in the field. They give your business a competitive edge and lead to new sales or partnerships, especially when recognition comes from a respected source, such as an industry association or leading trade publication. Writing award submissions should form an integral part of your overarching marketing and communications strategy, or you risk missing out on valuable opportunities.
How to boost your business profile with awards
Awards submissions align your business with other industry-leading organisations while showcasing the groundbreaking, innovative work your company does. While there’s a wide variety of awards that organisations should consider, the types of awards businesses typically nominate fall into one of three key categories:
Partner awards
Engaging with partner awards demonstrates your value to the companies you work with.
It also strengthens your business relationships, positioning your business as a leading partner, which can help to secure joint customer wins.
Industry awards
Industry associations that recognise your business as a leader in the field let you achieve credibility within your space.
Potential partners and customers rely on industry bodies to identify leaders in the field, and industry award wins promote your business and its successes.
Media awards
Media awards are valuable opportunities to engage with target business media publications and build your reputation.
Media award wins can lead to guaranteed coverage for your business within the media outlets that you need to be seen in.
Employee awards
Employee awards demonstrate the expertise of your individual team members and are an essential way to showcase credibility and leadership in your industry.
Submitting your employees for awards also lets you recognise outstanding individual performance.

Preparing an awards submission: three key factors
1. Customer/partner approval: If you’d like to tell a strong customer or partner story, you must reach out to them first to ensure you have permission to submit their name as part of an award submission. It can be a costly experience to invest time, money, and resources into creating a submission only for the partner to say no at the last minute.
2. Information: Taking your time to carefully review the eligibility and submission criteria is essential, as it will help determine if you have all the information you need to create a compelling award submission that fits the bill. You’ll most likely fail to win if you fail to meet the brief.
3. Time: Writing submissions can be a time-consuming process, so it’s essential you have enough time to collect all the relevant information, supporting metrics, and approvals you need before submitting it for consideration to craft a high-quality, award-worthy submission.
Awards writing can be challenging, and simply meeting eligibility criteria and deadlines isn’t always enough to secure a win. Working with the right partner can help you craft a winning submission and turn those wins into additional value for your business.
