Why PR Industry Awards Matter

Noisy Trumpet’s work has been recognized amongst the best in the country following our recent nomination at this year’s Ragan PR Daily Awards in New York City. Our digital media, public relations, and traditional media campaign for the San Antonio Botanical Garden’s new holiday exhibition, ‘Lightscape,’ received an honorable mention in the “Multi-Media Campaign” category. Part of the team traveled to the ‘Big Apple’ in May to personally accept the award.  The etched glass plaque is now proudly displayed in our San Antonio office alongside other national, regional, and local accolades. 

Industry awards are more than just trophies to line the wall of a workplace. They are symbols of excellence and effort.  These awards don’t just magically appear.  To be considered, award opportunities must be properly vetted, and applications must be filled out in great detail. This is something we encourage all clients to pursue. The time and resources for each submission yield extraordinary benefits both externally and internally.

Business awards can galvanize the people who worked so hard to create the project or campaign worthy of a submission. The recognition can boost staff morale and increase credibility in the industry. In addition, award opportunities demonstrate management’s commitment to not only the quality work we provide to all our clients, but also how much they value employees. 

Awards can also increase your bottom line regardless of taking home the top prize.  Just being a finalist can add credibility.  The nomination by an esteemed third party is a valuable endorsement. That recognition also increases brand awareness and visibility.  Industry awards can be included in agency marketing efforts to set you apart from competition.

As the saying goes, “you can’t win if you don’t play.”  Finding and applying for industry awards can be time-consuming but are worth the effort. Noisy Trumpet’s public relations team identifies and submits applications on behalf of our busy clients.  If you are interested in increasing your recognition, contact us today!
