It's that time of year again, when our feeds are flooded with "best of the year" lists, awards, and accolades for marketers. While many of these recognitions are well-deserved, if you work for a smaller brand, you might feel unnoticed or left out--and it's perfectly okay to feel that way. It doesn't make you a jealous person or mean that you are somehow less for feeling that way. And while it's true that most of these lists and awards only feature work from major brands or large agencies, that doesn't mean that the work of marketers at smaller brands isn't just as creative or impactful. So, to those of you working day in and day out on small brands without much budget or national name recognition, I just want to say--I see you.

Picture the scene: You’re a new brand, in a growing, innovative industry, and you KNOW now is the time to dive in and be part of it. But you don’t have a marketing team to get your name out there. And you don’t have big budgets to throw at paid media. So what do you do? Hustle? Sure. Use your own channels? Naturally. Get Entity on board to help you get the message out there in a fun and creative way? 100%. That’s exactly what the World Alcohol-Free Awards (WAFA) 2024 did. In the second cycle of the awards, WAFA wanted to build and grow. And, thinking ahead, wanted to set themselves up well for year three and beyond. We worked with the team to get creative and find ways to bring their awards to the market, purely organically. This infographic shows you how we did. We’re currently working on the 2025 Awards and can’t wait to tell you how it all went in a few months’ time.
