Yep^

‘Recognized at shows including Cannes Lions’ = 1 Cannes shortlist.

‘Award winning’ = a Cresta or something.

‘Multi award winning’ = 5-10 bronzes and silvers.

Highly awarded’ = Golds in the shows that matter.

No one who has actually won awards that matter would ever call themselves that. Only the ones who got the ones no one knows and maybe a shortlist somewhere claim that title.

I think what Creative1 is saying is using the term award-winning to describe yourself is cliche. Certainly, listings awards in one’s resume or profile is suitable because it gives insight to employers. If your goal is to influence employers use award winnings in this specific way. Realize that anyone can win an award. Which awards the targeted employer touts are the ones you should list on your resume and professional profiles such as LinkedIn. But the work you’ve done is more important than the recognition. There is a lot of great work that doesn’t win a Lion or Pencil.

I assume anyone that calls themself “award-winning” in their LinkedIn title has won zero awards.

For most people, 1

I’d say at least three important awards

Switzerland

There are many other things I’d rather be called. But to answer your question, the number is 17.

How is everyone listing awards on their resumes? What info are you including/excluding?

I treat my resume like an award board. But for myself.

A good pic. A colour palette and considered design. Call outs for key achievements.

And to be a complete wanker I have a list of my full awards on the third page on type that’s nearly too small to read (so it fits :p).

mmmm... This is a very Trump like existential question. Lot's of great creatives and great work.. none of their work saw the light of an award and may be well deserved. Was the campaign effective? is a better question. The fluffiest may get an award, and the most effective will never see the light of it. I cringe though.

Trump lol pls.
