Q. HOW WILL YOU OBTAIN THE INFORMATION YOU REQUIRE TO WRITE THE SUBMISSION?
A. The process for the actual entry once we are engaged is as follows:
1) We thoroughly review the awards criteria and category you are entering to get across the entry at hand
2) We arrange to call or meet with you and other key staff to go through the submission questions. We basically interview you, gathering key information – the first submission with a client is always the hardest as we are starting from scratch in the ‘get to know’ process.
3) We request further information and conduct any research required
4) Preparation of awards submission
5) We submit the application to a key decision maker at your organisation for review
6) We allow up to 3 rounds of amends to application – this minimises your time input ad ours
7) Preparing relevant design format – some awards require a high level of design, some don’t
8) Awards submission to meet deadline

Q. IS IT CHEATING TO WRITE MY AWARDS SUBMISSION FOR ME?
Does the prime minister write their own speeches? Does the CEO write their own press releases? The answer is, in most cases, no. They hire people to make them look good, and that is exactly what you are doing by hiring us. You’ll have full input and approvals into the process so nothing will be submitted that you or another decision maker at your business hasn’t approved.
