Every year, agencies make significant investments in time and money to submit their best work to important awards shows like the Effies. And, every year, great work gets overlooked by the judges because of poorly written submissions.
Don’t let your agency be one of the casualties this year. Instead, join us for a six-hour workshop over two days on how to craft the perfect case study.
Plus, you’ll have a chance to apply what you learn right away and get just-in-time feedback from both the workshop leader and your peers to make this year’s awards submissions shine.
Don’t let your effective results, inspiring insights and engaging creative succumb to bad writing. Get the recognition (and the hardware) you deserve!
This workshop is ideal for anyone responsible for writing winning award cases at their agency. This is for senior level staff from any department.
This is a 6-hour workshop broken out into 2 sessions of 3 hours each happening on Wednesday, November 15th & Thursday, November 16th, 2023. This allows attendees an opportunity to work on their case study the evening of the 15th for presentation and trainer/group feedback on the 16th.
Bring Your Own Case Study! Each person or agency team should have a case study that they want to work on during the workshop. This is a hands-on session so be prepared to share with your peers.
