Best Global Strategic Marketing Agency in Chicago, Illinois!
Say “hello” to the “Best Global Strategic Marketing Agency in Chicago!” Your AJency have won an award and it has boosted our confidence, our business and given us a lot to talk about! Do you want to add “award-winning” to your list of business achievements? Here’s how we did it!
What a way to celebrate turning 2! We are so thrilled to announce we are an award-winning marketing agency and that we are officially the “Best Global Strategic Marketing Agency” in Chicago!
Two years ago we started Your AJency mid-pandemic with our very first client in Chicago. We have now worked with over 15 clients in different locations across the world.
Over the summer we were shortlisted for an award by Stellar Business Awards and after submitting our entry, we discovered that we had won. We’re still in shock but also super excited to be recognised! The award is testament to our focus on serving our clients globally with our innovative strategies. It has been such exciting news for us all at Your AJency!
“ Your AJency [has been] recognized for excellence in global strategic marketing. The amazing people at Your AJency have managed to stay ahead of the curve and not only provide sustainable ideas for future growth but also improve upon current ones.” - Stellar Business Awards
We wanted to thank all of our clients and supporters who have helped us get this far and can’t wait to see what the next year brings for our award-winning (!) marketing agency.
Have you seen competitors win business awards and wish it was you? Are you trying to build up your credibility as a business owner or grow your reputation as a relatively new business? Perhaps you’re a well-established business that hasn’t had a focus on this sort of thing previously?
When it comes to growing your business and raising brand awareness, awards can be so powerful! Being shortlisted or winning awards, accolades, industry recognition and the like is such a powerful boost to your credibility and brand, as well as for you as a business-owner. It affirms your expertise and the quality of your offer.
There are so many different awards that your business can win - in fact it came as quite the surprise how many exist if you start to look! Here are just some of the benefits of entering awards that Fiona @bossyourpr shared with me when I started working with her and it really got me thinking.
Winning awards for your business can:
Give you the chance to review your business
Open up new business opportunities through increased visibility
Increase recognition of your achievements
Validate your expertise by other experts in an industry
Give you a competitive edge
Build your credibility in your industry
Open up PR opportunities
Give you new and exciting content to share with your audience
Offer online and offline opportunities to network
Fiona Minett, PR expert, told us that a lot of awards require you to initially submit a nomination. Some awards may involve asking your audience to vote and others are judged by a panel. So it is definitely worth checking out your industry awards, when they are judged and mark your calendars. If they require your audience to vote, don’t be afraid to call on your social media followers or existing clients to get voting! Read about how to grow your social media following elsewhere on the blog.
Don’t be intimidated by the forms or who has won previously, as it could really boost your growth and can only have a positive impact on your business!
Here is a link for a list of UK awards to get you started. If you’re still looking for other awards to enter - another great tip is a well phrased google search. An example from us is “women in business awards”
