When your work is recognised by the industry, the benefits reach far beyond the night itself.
For many agencies, entering awards is seen as a PR activity – a moment of visibility before returning to business as usual. But for those looking to grow enterprise value, awards can be a powerful strategic investment.
You might not realise at first, but credible industry recognition signals more than creative excellence. It also shows commercial maturity and the ability to deliver consistent results, as well as the strength to compete against the best in the sector.
For agencies preparing for sale, in the middle of M&A, or building towards a higher valuation multiple, this matters. Award wins add weight to your proposition in the eyes of acquirers and investors (but also clients and talent, too), because they demonstrate that your brand carries influence and momentum in a crowded marketplace.
More and more, agencies are using awards to sharpen their valuation narratives, support pitch decks, and stand out during due diligence. A recognised industry award shows you operate at a level that attracts attention for all the right reasons.
Inside the business, awards bring benefits that go far beyond the balance sheet. They boost morale and keep teams inspired, while also working to help attract and retain talent – particularly in a market where the best people want their work to be seen and celebrated.
Whether you’re looking to exit in 12 months or build long-term equity, a strong awards track record positions your agency as a serious player. The EVCOM London Live & Film Awards can help you signal to the market that you’re ready for the next stage.
Entries for the Live categories close on 5 September, and now’s the time to put your work forward.
