𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀? Last year, we asked the judges and organisers whether buying a table, or sponsoring an award, helped firms to win. The unanimous answer was, “no, it makes zero difference”. But that wasn’t enough to convince some people that awards aren’t rigged. So, to bust the myth once and for all we’ve asked seven award-winning firms a simple question: “𝐷𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑗𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑠’ 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑦?” Click the 👇🏽 link in the comments 👇🏽 for the answers. Then, if you’re still not convinced, and think awards are rigged, please answer the three questions at the end of the blog.
