Any advice on putting together a winning case study for the big shows? I’m not really completely talking about a video. Filling out these forms is a pain in the ass! I’m on my own here. And the Effies alone seem to prove I’m not properly staffed to fill out any of this. Haha.

Uhhh. I hate doing this, but you should really enlist your Acct people and planners. I’ve never heard of Creatives having to fill that stuff out. They usually just get to go to all the shows while we schlub at home.

I’ve been in some juries and I have never read this stuff. I did write a bunch of them: just approach it as a written version of the case study. No stress.

I got through filling out one page of the EFFIES. And I’m an EFFIE Judge!

Having worked at one of these award companies and sat in juries. Safely can say no one reads those parts. They tend to be used "in-book" if you do win. But pretty sure you'll be contacted to make sure the info is accurate.

Understood! My one client is a bit scared to show data, even though our project has been extremely successful for them. The data would show they were not doing too great before that.

The over 3000% increase in sales in a 6 month comparison is legitimate. It is over 6000% increase in a month to month comparison.

I think they are afraid of looking like this to the public.

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.
