FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Short answer: It depends. 

In general, before you commit to Awards Experts, we will conduct an introductory consultation with you, to ensure that we understand your needs correctly and demonstrate how we could support your business.

There is no fee involved in taking part in an introductory consultation with our team. Once you decide to use our services, we will then develop a detailed bespoke awards strategy to suit your needs and forecast the cost on an individual basis. All our clients needs are different and our personally tailored quotes reflect this.

We have direct experience working for advertising (eg. Cannes Lions, Clios, Digiday), events (eg. Conference Awards, Awards Awards), marketing (wg. M&M Global, Smarties) and media awards (eg. Festival of Media), as well as mental health awards (This Can Happen). In general there are no restrictions to the kind of awards we cover, as we have no doubt that we can consult you for other industry awards too. However should our introductory assessment show that we might not be the best consultants for you, we will tell you so.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a winning guarantee, as judges are human and therefore not predictable. But we can guarantee you that with our help your entry will have the best possible chance of performing to its full potential. Many entries simply fail in the judging panels because of how they have been written, or the case film has been scripted. We will ensure that your entry will be judged on its own merits, and not fall through the judging because of how it is packaged. Additionally we will teach you how judges approach the voting, which will enhance your skills on writing the perfect entries yourself next time.
