Awards

As part of the 5th Annual Interel Global Public Affairs Summit program, Interel is excited to introduce the Advancing Interests Award!

The Advancing Interests Award will be presented to an IGP partner whose case study of a campaign or project exemplifies innovation and creativity, delivers results, and helps move clients forward towards their strategic goals. Submissions should include one successful case study of a campaign or project with the following components: brief summary of the campaign/project and goal, the strategic challenges overcome, the public affairs strategies and tactics applied, and the final impact or outcome achieved. Supporting materials including testimonials, videos, infographics, etc. are encouraged with submissions. Entries should be submitted by May 16, 2018. 

Criteria for Judging  

Your case study submission will be judged based on how the campaign or project exemplified the power of public affairs to help the client advance its interests and meet its goals. Criteria will cover the “art and science” fundamentals of public affairs, including:

•  Insightful issues management (e.g. identification and analysis of issues that matter most)
• Effective stakeholder engagement (e.g. mapping and management of the stakeholder environment, allies and opponents)
• Persuasive advocacy (e.g. targeted and compelling messaging)
• Creative concept and/or innovative tools (e.g. unique collateral, event formats, etc.; use of digital applications and technology)
• Project management (e.g. disciplined approach and built-in metrics)

Additional points will be awarded to submissions that are multi-market!
