“We use our Design Effectiveness Awards successes to prove to potential clients that we can deliver commercial advantage through the products we create. It's also been a great boost to the team to receive commercial endorsement for our work and we’re delighted to have shared this accolade with tomtom.”

Jim Fullalove, Director, Therefore Product Design Consultants

 

"Effective design should be both fantastically creative and have a lasting impact on business success. There's no better endorsement than winning a Design Effectiveness Award to prove this to our clients, to our prospects and to the design industry at large. There's also no doubting the award serves as inspiration and motivation to our people, who ultimately act as change agents on behalf of our clients."

Stephanie Brown, Marketing & Communications Director, Landor Associates


"We took a bit of a gamble entering the Design Effectiveness Awards. As a smaller, provincial agency, we didn't know how we'd fare, although we, and our client, truly believed in what we were doing. Our success was a great boost to the team and our client and commercially enables us to 'blow our own trumpet'. The up-beat promotion of the Awards also enabled us to be seen with some of the bigger guys."
Erika Ritchie, Managing Director, Thru the Line


"Elmwood has known for years how important it is to prove that our work works and that looking good is just not good enough. We are now setting winning Design Effectiveness Awards as project objectives with our clients and succeeding with Challs in this respect was particularly rewarding. Receiving comments from clients such as ‘it doesn’t get any better than this’ is a real bonus too!”

Nick Ramshaw, Managing Director, Elmwood Leeds

 

"The DBA Design Effectiveness Awards are the only design awards where business results outweigh personal judgements of the creative work. As a result, winning such an award provides serious business credibility and not just creative industry acclaim."

Mark Palmer, former Marketing Director, Green & Black's and Marketeer of the Year 2005

 

"By taking our client to the top 5 of the Client Design Effectiveness League Table we have highlighted that their investment in the in-house team has been a good business decision in itself."

Joe Ferry, Head of Design, Virgin Atlantic Airways


"There's no better proof that we're in the business of producing effective design solutions for our clients, than winning a DBA Design Effectiveness Award. And for a company of our size to be joining the 'big guys' on the winners table yet again....as a motivator for the team, there's nothing quite like it."

Jackie Arnott-Raymond, Business Development Director, Front Page Design
