My agency doesn’t submit for awards, and I’m not saying I’d win if they did. But as much as we say awards don’t matter, it feels like they do at a lot of places I’d like to eventually work. How difficult is it to submit on my own? Or am I better off finding a place that does submit and is willing to hire me without awards?

It will cost you thousands of dollars to make cases and boards and then ultimately submit them thanks to fees.

What CD1 said. The unspoken fact is that few individuals have the several thousand dollars necessary to pour into case studies and submission fees, which is why only a certain handful of deep-pocketed agencies take home all the award$.

You need to go to an award hungry agency, the McCann, BBDO, FCBs of the world. They have people who’s entire job it is to manage awards.

I don’t need an award list to tell me if your book is good. And if it’s good, I don’t care that you haven’t won awards for it.

Cool, for what it’s worth your agency’s recruiter who actually finds assesses and determines who meets somebody like you probably does so this isn’t really just about your personal taste.

I knew someone that did this and it costs thousands. Go to a big network if you want awards and stay of LinkedIn for a few weeks it will just make you irritated lol
