Has anyone purchased an Insights Guide from Effies after submitting a case? It’s $350 and has judges’ feedback and scoring. Trying to see if the feedback is useful and detailed enough for the price.

I recently purchased this for one of my clients to see if there was useful feedback that we could use internally, and share with the client. It was a bit underwhelming, with some short verbatim quotes from the judges and some brief feedback from just a few of them. Unfortunately, it didn’t provide any insights that we couldn’t have guessed. However, it could be dependent on the entry… maybe the judges give more feedback on certain entries?

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
