Wow, what a month! The Quest team has completed an unprecedented 20 award submissions and board applications for clients and ourselves this month. Based on what we already know we are running at a fifty per cent success rate - one which we hope will increase once all 20 are in.

The benefits to clients are clear. One - EnviroVent - has already been acknowledged as a Barclays Green Leader thanks to our powerful writing in bringing together their business success with the needs and key messages the award judges will be seeking. Clearly it’s a gamble - you’re not guaranteed to be shortlisted - but winning the award brings its own PR opportunities as well as the positive feel-good factor from staff and stakeholders who know they’re working with/for the best.

As the only UK PR agency to win Best Small Team for three years in a row in our industry CIPR awards we have seen how it has attracted clients and the best people.

So, if you’re struggling to win those awards you keep entering then drop us a line. We can’t promise you’ll win every time but you’ll stand a much greater chance if you do.
