Awards, accolades and trips to the podium
A quick digression – in our first few years, we didn’t enter awards shows. Awards have never been our main goal, and still aren’t.
But, we’ve changed our minds. We’ve heard that potential clients pay attention to awards. Sometimes awards generate press. We have a blank wall to fill. And in any case, a little ego-stroking puts a smile on our faces.
So, without much fuss, we started entering appropriate design and marketing awards shows. Here’s how we’ve done so far.
