Time flies! Three years ago this week, Midnight Blue Marketing won best new business at St Albans District Chamber of Commerce Community Business Awards. We are back this year as a finalist for small to medium size business. Why should you enter awards? 💫 Boosts credibility, to be recognised as the best in your field 💫 Improves team morale 💫 Expands your network - at the awards night and the PR around it 💫 And to have a shiny trophy to put in the office and shout about on LinkedIn! 😁 That first win, certainly opened doors for us, sparked conversations and gave us credibility in what we do (as well as a reputation for knowing how to celebrate). We now love celebrating with our clients. Roots Federation who were last years winners and looking forward to celebrating with I Support Behaviour on Friday. Writing an application also helps you pause and reflect on what you have done and how far you have come. It is all too easy to jump on the hamster wheel and we are looking forward to celebrating on Friday with everyone who has helped us to get to where we are today. #BusinessAwards #BusinessGrowth #CelebratingSucess

When I first started in the Industry, speaking on stage was about credibility and content to deliver. Nowadays, it's all paid but these stage topics' popularity has decreased too. I guess everyone is looking for the right business model. Yet, it shouldn't be at the cost of poor content or such only purposed to sell. We used to be way more creative 😁 Which are the conferences you are going to after the summertime? #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch #conferences

Do those who pay to be featured on lists or highlighted in special issues also believe in participation trophies? Why should I pay someone to publish me? Why would I want to pay to be on a list? It’s hard to take seriously those who claim to be the best in the business, yet pay a media company to boost their reputation. Is there even a legitimate list that truly recognizes the excellence of some of these partners? Here’s to the real superheroes in our partner community—the ones who earn their accolades without buying them.

Winning an Award: It's More Than Just the Trophy! Did you know that winning an award opens doors far beyond the accolade itself? it's not just about the moment of victory; there's a whole world of extras that come with it, often overlooked but incredibly valuable. Take, for example, the opportunity to be featured in prestigious publications – a benefit that's worth its weight in gold. Normally, securing a spot in a leading magazine can be costly, but winning an award can land you that coveted space for free.  And it's not just any advertisement; it's a feature that celebrates your achievement, adding an extra layer of credibility and recognition. So, the next time you're considering entering an award, remember it's not just about the win – it's about the journey and the doors it opens.

What goes into creating winning award entries? We're lucky to have a few wins under our belt, as well as judging industry and comms awards across the years. Missive's Whitney Simon, Erin Lovett, Nicola Koronka and Emma Ross reveal what the judges are looking for when they're deciding on the all important gold medals, including: 🟡 Why entering awards is important 🟡 How to win awards 🟡 Telling a compelling story with your entry 🟡 Providing quantifiable results and evidence https://lnkd.in/eJM_NnHc
