We live in a celebrity world where profile and reputation matter, and this applies as much to the business world as it does to the world of film, music or sport.

Leaders in their field have quickly realised that reputation is a major contributor to market value.

This doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of a well orchestrated plan to stand out from the crowd in a positive way.

  • Secure new investment?
  • Create a platform for yourself as an industry expert and thought leader?
  • Achieve the best possible price in mergers / acquisitions?
  • Attract the best talent to your organisation?

If you answered yes to any of the above, our ongoing, tailored programme of high-level media relations activity will help you manage your reputation and positively enhance your personal and professional profile.

BILL MCCANCE

Founder, CEO & Trustee Forces Support

I'd like to say on behalf of myself and Forces Support that we are delighted with the service provided, you have been exceptional throughout. As we were going through a growth spurt you continued to update the paperwork and right up to the last minute when about 11pm the night before you added in some late developments i sent across.

I've had many bad experiences in the Third sector and only a few good ones, working with you has been the best to date, and not because we won an award as I've always had it in mind to email in and let you know how much I appreciated your attitude and laid back approach to my constant pestering.

I have already recommended AI and will continue to do so, the service was superb.

SIMON BURGESS

Insurance entrepreneur

Awards Intelligence helped us win eight awards making us the most award winning company in our insurance niche.

The quality of the service was fast, efficient and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend Awards Intelligence.

Chief Executive Close Invoice Finance

We have had a long and fruitful relationship with Awards Intelligence.

WHY SHOULD YOU APPOINT AWARDS INTELLIGENCE?

An Awards Intelligence nomination is special. Not only will we save you a great deal of time and hassle, our experts will significantly increase the nominee's chances of success.

Honours Selection Committees judge a candidate's merits based on the nomination put forward. Our nominations are not simply an extended CV, a list of educational achievements, appointments, awards or posts, or a job description. Poor nominations often list these things, and a frequent complaint from the Committees judging the nominations is that the person recommended is "doing no more than their paid job".

Instead, our nominations define what is special about the candidates' achievements and show accurately, memorably and persuasively exactly how and where they have made a difference.

If you want to give someone the best possible chance of receiving recognition for their hard work and achievements, complete the form or contact us today on enquiries@awardsintelligence.co.uk for a free assessment of their chances of success.
