Services We Offer

Complete Awards Packages

The “design-build” approach for your awards entry. Just like a good building project, creating a winning awards entry is a lot of careful work, and every part of your entry should fit perfectly together. We collaborate with you to choose your entry categories, create a strategy for future awards programs, prepare everything, photograph your project, write the marketing statements, stay organized, and on track every step of the way. If it’s your first time preparing an awards entry—or if you’ve done it before and don’t want to do it again, but you want the results—let us take the frustration and guesswork out of the process.

Photography for Awards Projects

Just the shots! Do you have your own marketing team working on your awards projects? Finding that your real estate photography just doesn’t go quite far enough? Our approach to photographing for awards projects creates the images you specifically need for your entries, as well as making sure that you can use those images in your other marketing work later on.

Writing for Awards Projects

Brevity is the soul of wit…and winning awards entries! Finding all the facts about your project and fitting the most relevant pieces of everything into a tight word limit takes writing expertise and creativity. Our awards writing team has a wealth of experience writing awards entries as well as writing for other architectural and design media. Our writers will interview you and your team members, and craft the written parts of your entries.
