Winning an award can be an exhilarating feeling. It can provide validation for your effort on a job well done. Most of us will never have the chance to hold up the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the Super Bowl, be crowned champion on Centre Court at Wimbledon or cross the finish line first in the Boston Marathon. However, being told that you are valued, your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed and that the quality of work or service that you provide is prize winning always feels great.
Businesses like being rewarded and that’s a wonderful thing. Award submissions and honors require a time commitment from the entity filling out a nomination. Many companies or business owners aren’t aware of opportunities that exist in their industry or area. Some simply don’t have time to fill out additional forms and paperwork. The old saying goes, “time is money” and most businesses don’t have extra time to devote toward award submissions.
Oster and Associates specializes in finding award and honor opportunities for brands and their team members. We’re proud to announce that one of our clients and our own company president were both recently named Most Admired CEO Awards finalists by the San Diego Business Journal.
Our client, Heaviland Landscape Management, was co-founded by current CEO and president Tom Heaviland and recently celebrated 30 years of operation in San Diego County. Our agency, Oster and Associates, was founded by president and creative director Bev Oster and we’re entering our 30th year of operation as well. There were a number of reasons for Tom’s and Bev’s respective selections, but doing great work and doing it the right way is valued in the San Diego region.
We were proud to nominate both leaders for their strong guidance and exceptional results as small business owners in San Diego. Each of these individuals are worthy selections as finalists. How will anyone hear about the wonderful things you or your company does unless someone tells them? Your competitors are actively highlighting their victories and so should you.
Oster and Associates believes in making time for these efforts because awards and honors are a valuable component in helping you and your company build a strong, positive brand. Don’t hesitate to ask us about submitting awards and honors because we’re not shy about sharing your achievements and you shouldn’t be either.
