Everyone loves to win awards - they improve the brand's reputation and image, support your brand proposition and are great for staff morale - but often, you can miss out on an award by not approaching the entry process in the right way. This can lead to a lost opportunity and valuable time lost putting the entry together.

The CIM Travel Group masterclass in marketing award entries can help you get over that.
