At Green Door Co, we don’t just deal with Business Awards – we’re passionate about them. It’s more than trophies and ceremonies; it’s about unearthing incredible stories, celebrating success, and propelling Australian businesses forward. We sat down with some of our team members to hear what truly inspires them about working in the awards industry. These are our favourite things about working in awards:
Heather Marano, our Director, highlights the joy of recognition:
“What I love about the awards business is that we get to help shine a spotlight on deserving businesses that often haven’t enjoyed this kind of accolade or attention before. There is something really special about being able to celebrate our client’s successes together!”
“I’m also really passionate about the process,” Heather continues. “Working with our clients to understand their businesses inside and out and helping them apply a strategic lens to their operations and achievements is really rewarding for us and our clients. And through that process, we get to learn so much about the ingredients for what makes a successful business – lessons we’ve applied in our own business!”
“There is something really special about being able to celebrate our client’s successes together!”
Amanda Perris, our copywriter, thrives on storytelling:
“What I love about writing awards is the chance to ‘get under the hood’ of so many great Aussie businesses. They often have an incredible passion and drive to make a difference, yet they struggle to tell their story. Every business can benefit from an outsider’s perspective—someone who can recognise the interconnecting elements that build a company’s identity. They often can’t see what makes them outstanding because what they do so well comes naturally to them.”
“It’s incredibly satisfying to shine a spotlight on these businesses,” Amanda adds. “We give them the space and time to continue doing what they do best while we sing their praises, fly the flag, and win them well-deserved awards. I’m constantly impressed by their accomplishments and bravery; there’s nowhere to hide in the awards process!”
“Every business can benefit from an outsider’s perspective”
Megan Keyter, our Account Executive, finds inspiration in every submission:
“The absolute highlight for me is diving into client submissions. Each one is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity that goes into running a successful business. I’m constantly amazed by the sheer range of accomplishments and the unbridled enthusiasm clients have for their work. Witnessing their passion and impact is contagious!”
“The process is a learning experience in itself,” Megan continues. “It’s shown me that every business, regardless of size or industry, has a powerful story to tell. Each submission reveals the challenges overcome, the risks taken, and the triumphs achieved. Working in awards has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the diversity and resilience of the Australian business landscape.”
“Every business, regardless of size or industry, has a powerful story to tell.”
Clare, our Account Manager, finds joy in uncovering unique stories:
“My favourite thing about working in the Awards space is working with our clients to uncover the magic in their business that makes them unique and telling their stories. It is such a privilege to be able to see behind the curtains of the exceptional businesses that we work with and it’s so rewarding to be able to celebrate their success with them as well!”
“It’s so rewarding to be able to celebrate their success with them.”
The power of recognition
Heather’s words resonate: “Awards are so much more than just a pat on the back. We’ve seen how award recognition can catapult businesses to the next level. This could mean winning larger contracts, attracting government funding, or even selling the business. The power of recognition is truly remarkable.”
