Ever wondered if hiring an award writer is actually cheating? Join us as we unravel this common misconception in The Award Writer with Lucinda White from Pure Awards, who brings nearly two decades of invaluable experience to the table. Lucinda, with her rich background in fundraising, event management, and specialized award writing, makes a compelling case for why external expertise can be a game-changer for businesses aspiring to stand out in the competitive awards landscape. We discuss the importance of effectively communicating your achievements to judges and how an expert can help you overcome the challenge of self-articulation.
In this episode, we also shine a spotlight on the complexities surrounding awards for women in business, using the "I Also" campaign by F:Entrepreneur as a key example. Lucinda offers strategic advice on selecting the right awards, emphasizing less competitive categories and the nuanced nature of judging. We delve into the essentials of crafting robust award entries and the frustrations of incomplete submissions. Alongside these insights, Lucinda imparts broader business wisdom on persistence, setting goals, and maintaining integrity.
