Research:

The EABQA Markets team works diligently to identify outstanding businesses, driving many of the nominations themselves. The team also encourages external nominations from subscribers, web visitors, social media followers, clients, and a wider audience. Nominating parties are invited to put forward either their own business or third-party companies that they hold in high regard.

Shortlisting:

All nominees are formally requested to accept their nomination, and nominees are, of course, free to accept or decline if they wish. Those who formally accept are given the opportunity to submit additional supporting information to reinforce their nomination. While there is no obligation to provide this material, many nominees value this stage of the process as much as our research team does.

Evaluating Shortlisted Nominees:

Our dedicated research team assesses all the information presented to them. The team gathers information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources, which is then evaluated alongside any material supplied by the nominating party or the nominee themselves. The final judgment is based on various criteria, including business performance, longevity, diversification, growth (whether sustained or rapid), significant innovations, and feedback from stakeholders.

How Winners Are Determined:

Once winners are selected, they are personally notified before any public announcement is made, allowing time for internal communications within the business and coordination of marketing strategies. While not everyone can be a winner, all participants are encouraged to return next year. After the press embargo is lifted, details of the award winners will be made public via our website, the award winners’ magazine, and the subscriber newsletter.

Sharing the News:

We offer a range of promotional packages and items to EABQA Markets award winners, which include inclusion in the winners’ directory, trophies, and features in our magazine, on our website, and across other advertising platforms.

We encourage all winners to independently announce their achievement in order to gain maximum exposure. Announcements on company websites, social media, via press releases, and through local and national press are excellent ways to maximize visibility for such a great accomplishment. If you need further advice on how to publicize your win, please feel free to get in touch. We are more than happy to assist our clients with their promotional needs.
