“When we connected with Georgia she was able to challenge our thinking and designed an approach that was professional and authentic. Georgia has a true talent to understand the message that you are trying to get across and what is needed to do that. She was able to ask us the tough questions, drill down into details and propel us to the deadline. The highlight was that Georgia ensured that everything we were saying was backed up with data which made for a submission that had genuine substance. The fact we were named as finalists and then won two categories at the HRNZ Awards against some exceptional competition was the icing on the cake. I can absolutely recommend Georgia as the person to support your own endeavours in telling your story.”

“I first approached The Award Shop in 2017 to enter the Indian Business Awards. I won a Special Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence. In 2018, only nine months after launching my new business, iConsult, I won the award for Best Financial Advisor – Mortgages. Georgia has helped me articulate my story in a winning way that I could never have done on my own. At the end of 2020, I won the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. I’m super busy growing my businesses and Georgia just removes all the hassle of writing an award-winning submission.”

CEO and Founder, iConsult Limited
“Georgia took us to finalist stage on six awards. We won the Fonterra Vendor Award for Innovation in 2014. Aside from the brand recognition and celebration in these processes, there’s significant value in the distillation and articulation of ClearPoint’s vision and value. Georgia’s work was key to bringing focus and helping us lift our thinking on who we are in the market. Tremendously valuable – thanks Georgia!”
