This is a bit more of a rant…but what’s the point of entering creative into award shows and then pestering all of your employees to go and vote for your work. This is like a friend entering her baby’s pic into a stupid online contest and telling all their let friends to vote every day. Is award worth anything if it’s only voted on by your own employees b/c you’ve bugged them to do so?!! My agency does this all the time and then they brag about another big win.

Yes. The award is worth a raise, promotion or getting a better job, so… you know… give me a follow and smash that like button!

So…it’s a high school battle of the bands.

That’s not surprising.

Yes it’s dumb, but if you win one, you can get a better job (and the agency slightly ups it’s chances of winning new business). As long as that’s true it won’t stop.

It's almost how every contest in creativity happens. All the way up to the Oscars. Except instead of bugging employees they bribe judges.
