Our Process

Let us take the burden of entering awards off your shoulders

Entering awards can be a headache. Everything from researching awards through to writing awards submissions takes up a whole lot of time that most businesses don’t have.

By partnering with Green Door Co you get to leave the hard work to us, giving you the peace of mind that you’re putting your very best foot forward and that you’ll never miss an awards deadline.

We handle the process end-to-end from matching you with the right awards through to writing captivating awards submissions, allowing you to stay focussed on what you do best.

We always act with integrity and put your best interests front and centre. While we can’t guarantee an award win, we won’t put you forward for an award we don’t believe you have a chance of winning.

As part of our process we will interview you to dig deep into your business’ achievements, purpose, processes and journey. This in and of itself is an incredibly valuable process which more often than not uncovers surprising insights for business owners and clarifies your proposition and goals. We also offer strategic advice on what might need attention in your business to maximise your chances of an award win.

The Awards Process

We conduct a brief discovery session with you. We ask you about your business, what you’re doing well and what makes you unique.

We learn about your strategic goals – such as attracting investors, building your brand or pivoting into a new market – and who you want to get in front of. 

This enables us to assess which awards will be the right fit for you, to develop a comprehensive awards strategy.

Drawing on what we learn in discovery, we conduct awards research and make recommendations on which awards will be the right fit for your business. 

We source credible awards which meet your strategic goals, position you correctly and reach the right target audiences. We also assess your chances of success so you can maximise your ROI.

The awards landscape is incredibly crowded and confusing. Knowing what to enter is half the challenge. We solve this for you.

We establish a project timeline for each award so you never miss a deadline. Projects live in a real-time dashboard so you can track the status at any time.

The logistics of handling awards can be a real headache. Keeping track of dates, entry fees and criteria is confusing. We handle this for you.

You are supported by a dedicated account manager who is your key point of contact for each project.

We hold an in-depth interview with your business to go through the award questions and criteria, determining how to best present your case.

Drawing on our years of experience across hundreds of businesses in dozens of industries, we know which questions to ask and which evidence to gather to ensure we capture an award-winning narrative.

We draft your award submission, building on what was discussed in your interview. Every submission strikes the right balance between storytelling and evidence-backed claims.

We ensure your submission is fully compliant with word count limits, meets the criteria, and is highly competitive.

Our expert awards copywriters are the best at what they do and our track record of success is a testament to that. They give you a substantial edge against the competition.

We guide you on what documentation or assets to include with your award submission.

This may include financials, case studies, testimonials, graphics, videos or media coverage. 

We help you compile and visually present this evidence to accompany your submission.

Your account manager will share your submission with you for review and approval.

Any feedback will be incorporated as required until the final version is approved for submission.

Once approved, we submit your award entry on your behalf. 

This includes registering on the relevant award portal, and loading the submission and attachments ahead of the deadline.

The judges will review your submission and determine whether your submission should be shortlisted.

When we write your submission, we ensure it meets the requirements of the judging rubric and criteria.

If there is a finalist round for the award, finalists will be announced. Good luck!

We track finalist announcement dates and alert you once finalists are announced.

We share all relevant finalist information with you including award ceremony dates, finalist logos, and any other logistical information you need to know.

Winners will be chosen from the shortlist, often at an awards event. Good luck!

If you attend the award ceremony, you’ll find out if you’re a winner on the night. Otherwise we will let you know if you’re successful and share winners logos and any other relevant information. 

We also share our tips for how to amplify the win so you can fully leverage your success!

Testimonials

"It just saved us so much time. But even if we tried, we couldn't have done it ourselves. Green Door Co captured exactly what we said, all the key points and wrote it so well. Winning the awards was actually pretty exciting. Because we didn't really expect it, it was awesome!"
Sarah VandertopGroup Marketing & PR Manager, Rhima
“We've had more opportunity to win, which only happened because of Green Door Co. Because ultimately, we wouldn't have had the time or resources to do it at all. Green Door Co is solving that really niche problem for us. I really enjoyed working with Green Door Co; it was super easy and a great experience. I would definitely recommend Green Door Co to anyone."
Mark Woodland Chief Innovation Officer, Xplor
"All you have to do to understand the value is to sit down and work out how much it costs the business for the CEO to do an award submission versus getting a specialist company like Green Door Co to do it. It's a no-brainer. The cost is negligible in terms of your time and what you should be doing instead."
Nicole WhiteFounder & CEO
“By having an awards program, it has enabled the growth of the business and, to that extent, contributed to our overall success. Green Door Co took the time to get to know our business, staff, products, and services, so they knew how to best support us. The experience of working with Green Door Co has been easy and timely, it's represented good value for money. Our relationship with Green Door Co is fabulous. It's collaborative. It's consultative.”
Robin JeromeManaging Partner, Zeep
"Demonstrating credibility to clients is huge; this industry is very competitive, and you need to stay relevant. Awards open a lot of doors. They make a difference. Green Door Co gets results; the hit rate they've helped us achieve has been amazing. We've either been a finalist or winner in every award.”
Sean RooneyDirector, Amire
"Green Door Co is very across the board; they know exactly what's coming up, what awards we want to apply for and when things are due. All the hard work is done for us. If it weren't for Green Door Co, we wouldn't have applied for these awards or even known about them. It would've been a very cool, leverageable experience we missed out on."
Tom McphersonCo-Founder, Motor Culture Australia
“We appreciate the way Green Door Co does business; there is a genuine care and transparency that we really value. We know they have our best interests in mind. The ability to have a set of goals you want to achieve, then having someone that understands what you're looking for, and being able to run with it, has been amazing."
Reilly McHughMarketing Manager, SignManager
“Every nomination or award win gains huge traction and spikes traffic to our website. From a marketing perspective, obviously we love that! It is a nice process to sit there and look at what we've done and celebrate our achievements. You don't always take the time to do that as a business owner."
Tracy MillerCMO, Keeping Company
