Award Submissions
We know what award
judges are looking for.
Because we’ve been them.
Evidence beats assertion every time. We know how to find it, frame it, and present it in a way that wins.
Both sides of the table
We have direct experience on both sides of the process
From the magazine publishing side, judging submissions and seeing what works — and from producing submissions for clients that have gone on to win. That dual perspective is genuinely rare and directly useful.
At Mercer Investments, we won three industry awards in 18 months. We know what that process looks like from the inside.
What separates winners from runners-up
Two rules that beat half the competition
Rule 01
Read the criteria. Then read them again.
Most submissions miss the mark not because the firm isn’t good enough, but because the submission doesn’t address what the judges are actually asking. Word counts, subject areas, required evidence — all of it matters and most entrants ignore half of it.
Rule 02
Show evidence. Don’t make assertions.
Don’t say “we put clients at the heart of everything we do.” Say “our client renewal rate is 94%.” Judges see through empty claims instantly. Specific, verifiable evidence is what wins. We know how to find it and how to frame it.
What we do
From brief to submission
We work with you to understand what you’ve achieved, identify the evidence that supports it, and build a submission that addresses the judges’ criteria directly and compellingly.
We handle the writing. You handle the approvals. The process is straightforward and the result is a submission that gives you a genuine chance of winning — not just an entry.
