"Level up your Mumbrella CommsCon Awards entry with rock-solid visuals and data," shared The Brag Media CEO, Luke Girgis.
"Judges are busy. Skip the fluff, go for substance. We dig precision, so nail it with crisp visuals that drive your point home. Make the numbers work for you, without exaggeration. No frills – just results. Your entry, your win – no nonsense."
BMF group communications director, Abigail Dawson, said judges read a lot of entries, so "having a cohesive and engaging narrative certainly helps to not only grab the attention of the jury but express’s your hard work in a way that feels unique and authentic to your business and clients."
"It’s always helpful to ensure your entry embodies your agency, its personality, tone of voice, people, the work, and most importantly the results."
"Find your hook, an angle, and tell your story concisely and powerfully. From there it’s about meticulously backing up your narrative with tangible and irrefutable results," said Dawson.
The 2024 Mumbrella CommsCon Awards will be held on March 17th, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney, following the CommsCon Conference, where Dentsu Creative chief PR officer ANZ, Tim Powell, will talk on how generative AI is impacting the industry.
