Making the Most of Your AV Awards Win

Winning an AV Award is a significant achievement; recognition from peers, clients, and industry experts is truly commendable. But how do you make the most of your win and keep that momentum going long after the ceremony?

Here is our quick guide

  1. Announce and Showcase Your Win

Tell your story with pride and authenticity.

  • Website News Story:
    • Publish a post celebrating your win, linking back to the official coverage on https://www.avinteractive.com/
    • Include photos from the night and quotes from your team or leadership about what the award means to your company.
  • Homepage Recognition:
    • Add the official AV Awards Winner logo prominently on your homepage or About page.
    • Keep it visible year-round as a mark of excellence.
  • Email Signatures:
    • Incorporate the Winner logo into all staff email footers; it’s a subtle but effective way to highlight credibility in every interaction.

 

  1. Share on Social Media

Be proud but stay personal.

  • Post across LinkedIn and the other social channels you use, but make sure your posts are reflections:
    • What the award means to your team or clients.

    • A behind-the-scenes photo or short video from the ceremony.
  • Tag @AVMagazine and use the hashtag #AVAwards to amplify visibility.

  1. Engage with AV Magazine

Keep your story alive beyond awards night.

  • Send quotes or reflections on what winning means to your company for possible inclusion in post-event coverage/publications.
  • Share case studies of the project or product that won – AV Magazine may well feature follow-up pieces.
  • Stay connected with the editorial team for opportunities to contribute thought leadership, commentary, or future features. Alternatively, work with a PR professional like us to help you with this.
  1. Celebrate Internally

Recognise the people behind the win.

  • Host a brief internal celebration or town hall to express your gratitude to your team.
  • Display the trophy prominently in your office or showroom.
  • Include the achievement in recruitment materials and onboarding to inspire new talent.
  1. Keep the Momentum Going

Use your win as a springboard.

  • Mention it in bios, boiler plates, etc.
  • Consider creating a short video recap or testimonial from your team about the project or innovation that earned the award.

Your AV Award is more than a trophy –  it’s a tool for storytelling, credibility, and connection. Make it count.
