The Power of Cultural History in Cross-Media Marketing

Posted by Amanda Del Signore on Wed, Oct 26, 2022 @ 11:00 AM

Stevie-winner BCW is the global communications agency built to move people. BCW partners with clients in the B2B, consumer, corporate, crisis management, healthcare, public affairs, purpose and technology sectors to set strategic direction for all communications and create powerful and unexpected ideas that earn attention.

BCW_logo_APSA22Through an “earned-plus” offer—earned media plus paid media, creative technology, data, AI and an expanding suite of innovative capabilities—BCW moves people with power and precision to move its clients forward.

One such client is Chinese laser projection specialist Formovie. Formovie planned to launch its “T1” flagship laser projector in an effort to reinforce its leading position in the highly competitive China laser market. Formovie and BCW came together to develop a comprehensive marketing campaign, which earlier this year won a Bronze Asia-Pacific Stevie Award for Innovation in Cross-Media Marketing.

Considering the wide array of existing product choices and increasingly discerning consumers, Formovie faced some big challenges in building a unique product story and developing effective touch points with consumers. What they did was initiate a cross-media launch campaign that aimed to:

  • Exposure goal—generate 30 million impressions total.
  • Engagement goal—engage with 40 key media & influencers in the consumer projection segment with positive endorsement on product experience.
  • Business goal—help with T1 product sales on e-commerce platforms.

According to research, more than 60% of potential laser projector consumers are enthusiastic about an “exquisite lifestyle” that integrates history, art, symphony, etc. Based on this insight, instead of a traditional press event, Formovie launched a cross-over campaign titled “Breathing life to Dunhuang” integrating imagery and connotations of one of the most famous cultural relics in China: The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Dunhuang was the first trading town reached by foreign merchants entering Chinese-administered territories along the Silk Road from the west. The city is the site of the renowned Mogao Caves, which form a system of 500 Buddhist temples, some of which were dug out as early as AD366, which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.

Dunhuang was the first trading town reached by foreign merchants entering Chinese-administered territory from the west. The city is the site of the renowned Mogao Caves, which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.

At its foundation, the marketing campaign was a tech-centric, projection-based mini-art show. Commercial laser shows are often used for illumination projects like this; instead, Formovie’s new cinema-pro quality, consumer laser projector T1 was utilized to reproduce the historical relics of frescos from Dunhuang.

By merging the most advanced laser technology with traditional Chinese culture, the team created an appealing product story across media channels, including traditional media, digital platforms, advertising, as well as e-commerce channels.

As a cultural icon with nation-wide recognition, Dunhuang successfully helped attract attention from audiences with large-scale advertising placement. Dunhuang images were also utilized to produce the boot screen picture, product packages, and a scarf gift as exclusive incentives to boost sales. Riding on the momentum generated from media and influencers, the topic “digital representations of Chinese cultural heritage with T1” led to larger scale exposure and discussion as a result.

The campaign was a success, surpassing all targets:

  • Exposure goal— 32 million impressions were generated from all media platforms; search engine data show that the number of searches about T1 increased 1,378% within a month.
  • Engagement goal— More than 60 key influencers in the consumer projection industry shared articles, videos, or posts with positive endorsement, generating 100K+ engagement.
  • Business goal— Dunhuang-themed packages and gifts helped drive sales by more than $500k within 24 hours on Tmall (formerly Taobao Mall), a Chinese-language website for business-to-consumer online retail, operated in China by Alibaba Group.

The integrated campaign “Breathing life to Dunhuang” created a unique story of how traditional Chinese culture from centuries ago can be revitalized today by innovative Formovie products. Cross-media approaches including traditional media, digital platforms, advertising, as well as e-commerce channels were utilized to communicate with audiences throughout their decision-making journey with excellent results.

BCW won a Bronze Award for Innovation in Cross-Media Marketing in the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

Aussie Broadband’s Self-Service Customer Portal and App Provide Convenience While Easing Burden on Support Staff

Posted by Amanda Del Signore on Mon, Oct 24, 2022 @ 05:00 AM

Stevie-winner Aussie Broadband is a rapidly growing, Australian internet service provider with a reputation for providing high-quality internet and transparent customer service. In 2020, Aussie Broadband launched Carbon, a free self-service portal that allows customers to control all of their Aussie Broadband services from one central location.

Carbon is designed to take the delays and confusion out of ordering new services, with many products and services able to be ordered directly in the platform and with transparent pricing displayed.

Rather than wait for months to order and receive new business services, Carbon users can access free quotes, place their own orders, and control everything from hardware dispatch to service activation, all from a central portal. Carbon enables businesses to turn on a service at any location where NBN (Australia’s National Broadband Network) has been before; activation is extremely fast thanks to Aussie's clever, efficient integration with NBN's systems. 

Aussie Broadband LogoCustomers using Carbon can now:

  • Purchase and customize their products and services online, including internet services, data center connections, MPLS networks, SD-WAN networks, hosted PBX and more. 
  • Manage and test their services at scale, allowing them to create simple internet services, while managing billing, technical support and ordering. 
  • Apply configurations to their services within seconds, as well as take advantage of single-click tests and diagnostics, real-time monitoring of bandwidth and data use, and centralized notifications, billing and support. 
  • See immediately if there are any known outages affecting their service.

In addition to simplifying and shortening the ordering process, Carbon also provides users with a bevy of features for managing existing services, as well as handling billing and troubleshooting issues without the need to call customer support. Users can apply their preferred custom configurations to business telco services, which is especially useful for enterprise customers looking to build and manage their own networks and cloud platforms.

Aussie Broadband engineered Carbon to tackle some of the biggest pain points experienced by business and enterprise customers, and the company believes they are the first telco in Australia to offer account features and self-service at this level.

Carbon is not the only tool that Aussie Broadband offers to customers to enhance the customer experience. The MyAussie App offers a range of innovative features for customers that had never been seen before from a major player in the Australian telco industry. Among many other features, MyAussie offers customers the ability to “kick” their internet connection all the way back to the network, which would have required assistance from a technical support staff previously.

Another tool developed by Aussie Broadband is The Proactive Fault Detector, an in-house designed and developed software that automatically detects faults and proactively resolves them before a customer contacts Aussie's support team. They found that more than 50% of dropout and speed faults were identifiable before the customer contacted support. One of the main benefits is that it significantly reduces both the duration and volume of calls, giving their support staff more time to focus on better customer experience. If a fault is detected with a customer’s connection, the system begins running troubleshooting tests and attempts to restore services immediately. The automated fault identification system is currently identifying and triaging over 200 faults per day. 

Since winning their Stevie Award, Aussie Broadband has completed the acquisition of Brisbane Telecommunications and IT solutions provider Over the Wire (ASX:OTW) for $344 million dollars. In addition, they have signed a 3-year deal with Mitsubishi Motors Australia to provide Enterprise NBN and on-net services to its corporate and regional locations across the country.

Aussie Broadband won the Gold Stevie Award for the Innovative Use of Technology in Customer Service - Telecommunications Industries in the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

The Women|Future Conference has selected five women-owned businesses to compete in the Women-Owned Business Pitch Competition this year. Registered attendees can watch the competition live on November 9 at 12:00 PM ET.

This “Shark Tank”-style pitch competition provides a platform for a select group of women-owned businesses to compete for a chance to win funding support for their businesses and initiatives, and provides the opportunity for international exposure to hundreds of attendees.

Over 200 applicants applied for entry, but only five finalists were selected by the Women|Future Conference leadership team to present their pitches, face questioning, have their pitch evaluated by a panel of judges, and win funding! The winner of the competition will be announced at the conference November 10 at 2:25 PM.


The 2022 Women-Owned Business Pitch Competition finalists are:

Equability
Equability is an online clothing modification service for individuals with disabilities.

Pitch Competition Format and Judging Criteria

The format of the pitch competition is inspired by ABC's critically acclaimed, entrepreneurial-themed TV show, Shark Tank. Each finalist will present a live, three-minute virtual pitch about their product/service, business model, and target market.

A panel of four judges will evaluate each pitch using a five-point scoring rubric provided by the Women|Future Conference. The judging rubric takes into account criteria such as leadership capabilities, innovativeness, competitive advantage, maturity of the technology or product, business model, prospects, growth, response to the live questions, and preparedness for the competition.

  • Kim Roxie, Founder, LAMIK WFC22 JudgesBeauty, and first-place winner in the 2021 Pitch Competition
  • Heather Cox, President, Certify My Company

Die Reise eines Gründers: Wie Michael Gallagher die Stevie Awards vor 20 Jahren von Grund auf aufgebaut hat

Posted by Jana Novatscheck on Fri, Oct 07, 2022 @ 03:00 AM

Heutzutage sind die Stevie® Awards weithin als die wichtigsten Wirtschaftspreise der Welt bekannt, aber der Weg hierhin verlief nicht ohne Risiken, Herausforderungen, klare Ziele, Entschlossenheit und ein engagiertes Team.

Michael Gallagher gründete die Stevie Awards im Jahr 2002, um die Leistungen und positiven Beiträge von Organisationen und Fachkräften auf der ganzen Welt zu würdigen und öffentlich bekannt zu machen. Jahr für Jahr werden Tausende von Nominierungen in einer Vielzahl von Kategorien für acht Stevie Awards-Programme eingereicht. Alle Organisationen - öffentliche und private, gewinnorientierte und gemeinnützige, große und kleine - können Nominierungen einreichen. Einsendungen, die Leistungen im Bereich Pruduktinnovationen, Vordenker-Rolle, kreative Marketingkampagnen, hervorragender Kundenservice, unternehmerische Tätigkeiten und seit kurzem auch die Reaktion auf COVID-19 umfassen, werden von unserer angesehenen Jury geprüft.

Zu den früheren nennenswerten Stevie Award-Gewinnern gehören Aflac, Apple, Chipotle, Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, IBM, ING, PayPal, Procter & Gamble, Roche Group, Samsung, und Verizon, unter vielen anderen. In kürzester Zeit wurde die Stevie-Trophäe mit einer Kristallpyramide als Spitze zu einem der begehrtesten Preise in der Wirtschaftswelt. 48052353451_03d746386b_o-1

In den folgenden Interviewantworten erzählt Michael Gallagher von seinem persönlichen Hintergrund und seinen Erfahrungen, die das Fundament und die Grundwerte der Stevie Awards geprägt haben.

Wie und warum sind Sie auf die Idee gekommen, die Stevie Awards zu gründen?

Nachdem ich seit meinem 16. Lebensjahr für andere Leute gearbeitet hatte, befand ich mich an einem Punkt in meinem Leben, an dem ich etwas anderes tun musste. In den 80er Jahren genoss ich es, sechs Jahre lang für eine Firma namens The New York Festivals, die Preise für Video, Werbung, Radio, Fernsehen und andere Medien vergab, zu arbeiten und dachte: Das hat mir Spaß gemacht, aber die Welt braucht keine weiteren Filmfestivals. Aber warum gibt es keine "Oscars" für die Wirtschaft?

Was war Ihre bisherige Geschäftserfahrung und welchen Hintergrund hatten Sie, bevor Sie die Stevie Awards gegründet haben?

Nachdem ich sechs Jahre lang für The New York Festivals gearbeitet hatte, zog ich nach Washington D.C. und arbeitete sieben Jahre lang in der Messe- und Konferenzbranche und anschließend bis 2001 in der Dot-Com-Welt in verschiedenen Marketing- und Vertriebsfunktionen.

Was waren einige Ihrer Ziele für die Stevie Awards, als Sie die Organisation ins Leben riefen? Haben sie sich seitdem verwirklicht und/oder verändert?

Ich wollte, dass sie als die "Oscars der Wirtschaft" bekannt werden, und bis zu einem gewissen Grad haben wir das auch erreicht, aber natürlich sind wir noch nicht so bekannt wie die Academy Awards.

Was waren die größten Herausforderungen, mit denen Sie konfrontiert wurden, als Sie die Stevie Awards ins Leben riefen?

Für jedes neue Unternehmen ist das erste Jahr ist immer das schwierigste. Jeder Prozess, jedes Verfahren und jedes System muss zum ersten Mal erdacht, entworfen und umgesetzt werden. Das Geld war knapp, also mussten wir für das Meiste um jeden Cent kämpfen. Aber der Vorteil daran, dass man fast alles selbst machen muss, ist, dass man lernt, wie man so ziemlich alles macht.

Wie definieren Sie Erfolg bei den Stevie Awards?

Ein gut besetzter Wettbewerb, der von einer ausreichenden Anzahl erfahrener Fachleute geprüft und bewertet wird, was zu einem vielfältigen Gewinnerpool führt und eine gut besuchte Preisverleihung ohne größere Probleme ermöglicht.

Was ist etwas, das alle Stevie Award-Gewinner gemeinsam haben?

Das Bestreben, dass ihre Leistungen von einem größeren Publikum als nur ihren Kollegen gewürdigt werden.

Was bedeuten die Stevie Awards für Sie?

47195435251_7f7abaff05_o (1)-1Ich versuche, nicht zu sehr in der Vergangenheit zu schwelgen. Ich denke, ich bin sehr zukunftsorientiert. Ich betrachte die Stevie Awards als eine Bewegung und nicht als ein Unternehmen oder eine Organisation. Eine Bewegung hin zu einer breiteren öffentlichen Anerkennung der Leistungen von Menschen am Arbeitsplatz, jenseits der schlagzeilenträchtigen Milliardäre, die einen Großteil der Berichterstattung über die Wirtschaft beherrschen. In einigen Ländern und Regionen haben wir dies bereits weitgehend erreicht, in anderen kaum. Wir haben also noch einiges zu tun.

Was hat Sie in den letzten 20 Jahren bei den Stevie Awards am meisten überrascht?

Dass ich es immer noch tue und jeden Tag genieße.

Wie sieht Ihre Rolle heute aus, verglichen mit der Zeit, als Sie die Stevie Awards 2002 ins Leben riefen?

Ich muss nicht mehr alles wie in den ersten Jahren selber machen - juhu! Wir haben jetzt ein gutes Team und ich sorge mich nicht mehr wie früher um jede Kleinigkeit.

Welche Awards-Programme versprechen das größte Wachstum für die Zukunft?

Awards-Programme wachsen in der Regel in den ersten Jahren langsam, dann in den Jahren fünf bis zehn schnell und danach schrittweise jedes Jahr. Alle acht unserer Programme sind mehr oder weniger nach diesem Muster verlaufen. Ich kann nicht sagen, welches unserer bestehenden Programme am stärksten wachsen wird. Vielleicht werden es die sein, die wir noch nicht gestartet haben.

Was hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren bei den Stevie Awards am meisten verändert?

In den ersten Jahren herrschte große Skepsis, ob ich es schaffen würde, und ob ich es danach auch noch am Laufen halten könnte. Diesen Punkt haben wir jetzt weit hinter uns gelassen. Ich glaube nicht, dass es heute noch viele gibt, die daran zweifeln, dass die Stevie Awards ernst zu nehmen sind und Bestand haben werden.

Was glauben Sie, wie die nächsten 20 Jahre der Stevie Awards aussehen werden?

Größere Akzeptanz und Wachstum in Gebieten, die die Stevie Awards noch nicht wirklich akzeptiert haben, wie Mittel- und Südamerika, Japan und andere Länder. Und alle drei bis fünf Jahre ein neuer Stevie-Award-Wettbewerb in irgendeiner Form.

 

 

Konnten wir Ihr Interesse an den Stevie Awards wecken? Derzeit läuft die erste Anmeldephase der German Stevie Awards, für Unternehmen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum, also aus Belgien, Deutschland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Österreich und der Schweiz.

Stevie-Winning Next Generation eSigning Platform

Posted by Maggie Gallagher on Wed, Oct 05, 2022 @ 10:34 PM

Stevie-winner Annature has exploded onto the world stage with its next-generation eSigning platform. Gone is the single-use digital signing solution – in its place is a platform transforming the future for eSigning, Know Your Customer/Anti Money Laundering, global ID Verification and Payments.

Annature is headed by Amreeta Abbott, an award-winning entrepreneur behind the development of the ground-breaking cloud-based document suite for accountants, NowInfinity. Amreeta completed a successful sale of NowInfinity for $25 million in 2020.

As the first lines of code were being written in early 2020, she set Annature on a mission to transform the traditional and insecure electronic signature offering she predicted wouldn't last in a digital business world.

Today Annature has achieved ISO 27001 certification as a technology company that operates an integrated digital signature, identity verification and payment platform facilitating global transactions with organizations of all sizes.

Built on blockchain technology, heavily featured and noted for an exceptional low-friction experience. And as a business principle, considerably more value-centric compared to overseas providers.

eSigning accelerated during Covid lockdowns when it became physically impossible to get people into offices to put pen to paper. Business was transformed forever. In just months global organizations accelerated the digitisation of their customer and supply chain interactions and their internal operations by what management consultants McKinsey estimated was three to four years. Annature had already positioned itself to respond to that with agility and strength.

The company formally launched in August 2020. From the start, integrating with any major existing digital document system and incorporating a global ID, payment, billing and invoicing verification powered by global giant Stripe into its workflow solutions.

Annature planned the development timeline accurately knowing that Stripe's powerful ID and Payment API's were easy to embed into the Annature e-signing process as an integral part of the user flow. Enabling Annature to provide the holistic contract execution experience required by many fintech, insurance and other companies.

Annature delivers a cryptographically verifiable database and audit trail for all digital signatures. Establishing a tamper-proof digital certificate for critical compliance information. Laying the basis for any client to embed Stripe into their payment, collection and ID verification solutions.

Milestones

  • Process 5,000 Australian Government JobKeeper applications to keep people employed on one night in March - as proof of use and scalability 
  • Joined the Xero connected app marketplace
  • Annature replaced global competitor, DocuSign for the Real Estate Institute of Victoria 
  • Core eSigning Partner with FYIdocs for Xero accounting firms
  • Signed fastest-growing legal firm in Asia Pacific, LegalVision, Illumin8; partnership with APS Reckon, and more.

2020 was a massive build year. Client integrations of the customized platform performed seamlessly by an Australian-based team determined to ensure there were no technical surprises.

Qantas Business Rewards Exclusive Partnership

Annature is the only Australian eSigning company chosen to partner with iconic aviation brand, Qantas Airlines and showcased in the global airline's Back to Business campaign for COVID-impacted Australian businesses. Annature's eligible clients now earn Business Points on every document they eSign.

Commitment to eSigning for the Future

The focus will be on secure acceptance and signing documents online, exploring the ability to take payments and incorporate bio-metrics.

With the accelerating shift towards digital onboarding forecasters estimate the global market for Identity Verification will grow by more than 20 per cent in five years, with four billion digital identity verification checks conducted annually. 

Annature provides the highest level of security assurance with its ISO 27001 certification - the world’s highest level of information security management. Our digital signature technology is compliant with all major eSign laws and regulations including the ETA 1999, ESIGN ACT 2000, EUTA, GDPR Compliance and eIDAS.

Annature's Accomplishments Since Submitting their Stevie-Winning Nomination

Since winning their Stevie Award, Amreeta Abbott has not eased up in her tireless pursuit of methods to solve the business frustrations that dominated her early life as an accountant. 

Now the Australian Federal and key State governments have recognized the technological innovation and ease of customer use that has been the hallmark of her work for several decades.
 
Having designed a secure-for-the-digital age product and achieving ISO 27001 certification in Australia, Annature has recently completed the audit process required to maintain that accreditation for its secure data management.
 
Amreeta has been leading the company into surpassing all expectation with its offering of verified ID and payments capacity using Stripe ID and Stripe Payments technology – customer usage of the Stripe Payment technology on its platform has grown 6 times.
 
Because of its ability to help clients meet government regulatory mandates for digital signing and ID verification, Annature has expanded its customer base with firms in the legal industry, and mortgage and lending platforms in real estate.
 
One recent new partner is the Auckland, New Zealand company Margin Gains, disappointed with an overseas provider’s incapacity to migrate thousands of clients to meet regulatory and privacy demands and delighted with Annature’s ability to achieve the task within weeks, with no technological hitches.
 
Amreeta has marked a jump in revenue from the forecast 300% to 500%, 10 times growth in customers paying by Stripe Payments, and an astonishing four times growth in the first quarter alone in envelopes signed with Annature.
 
The future looks very bright indeed.
 
Since the submission Annature’s outstanding capacity to deliver has been met by soaring interest from both Government and the business community.
 
The Annature platform has now been implemented by Australian Federal and State Governments secured new cloud-first customers in the legal industry and expanded its footprint with several national real-estate brands onboarding Annature for eSigning.
 
Annature is now the sole provider of verified ID and payment operations for one Australian State Government’s vast procurement tendering system. Annature has also recently completed the audit process required to maintain that accreditation for its secure data management.
Annature meets individual international country requirements for eSigning and identity verification around the world.
 
Among these new international partners is the Auckland, New Zealand based firm of Margin Gains. Margin Gains was attracted by Annature’s new ID verification product for migrating existing and new customers - and its ability to meet government KYC and AML regulatory requirements. It has also lauded Annature’s famed responsiveness to inquiries and exceptional technical performance of the platform.
 
Customer usage of Stripe Payments technology on the platform has grown 6 times. Of the businesses that trial Annature, 1 in 3 sign on for a paid subscription within the 7-day Free Trial Period, giving them a benchmarked 33% conversion rate.
 
Annature won the Gold Stevie Award for Most Innovative Startup of the Year - Business Product Industries and the Silver Stevie Award for Award for Innovative Management in Business Product & Service Industries - Up to 100 Employees in the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

Women|Future Conference Keynote Announced: How to Dream Big & Chase It

Posted by Amanda Del Signore on Mon, Oct 03, 2022 @ 10:47 AM

We are excited to announce that Rashmi Verma, Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion at HUGO BOSS, will be the 2022 Opening Keynote Speaker for the Women|Future Conference. The Opening Keynote will take place Tuesday, November 8, day one of #WomenFuture22 at 12:00 pm ET, followed by a live Q&A session with attendees.

Keynote Rashmi VermaThe 5th annual Women|Future Conference brings together hundreds of ambitious, forward-thinking women across industries and career stages to connect and discuss key issues that impact their industries, careers, and lives.

HUGO BOSS is one of the leading companies in the premium segment of the global apparel market, employing 13,800 individuals representing 112 nationalities. As the Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion, Rashmi develops creative methods to increase team engagement while establishing an inclusive culture across the company globally.

Rashmi’s life and career have spanned continents. She grew up in India in a conventional family yet managed to excel in the tech industry. She started her career working for General Electric (GE) where she led and drove multiple high-profile strategy projects within various GE businesses. Rashmi paused her career around 2008 to focus on raising her son. The family moved to Germany soon after, and Rashmi navigated the difficult task of raising her child in a strange country with a drastically different culture and language.

Rashmi spent the next 10 years at SAP, a German multinational software company, serving in multiple positions of increasingly higher levels of responsibility. During this time, she expanded her personal and professional networks in Germany and pivoted to her current role at HUGO BOSS.

But being a mother and holding a high-level role at a global fashion giant were not enough; Rashmi also launched her own business recently. YogaDaan is a charitable organization that offers yoga classes to raise money for a school for the underprivileged and differently abled children in India.

In her Women|Future Conference Keynote, "Dream Big & Chase It," Rashmi will share how she navigated these work and life challenges, including managing cultural differences and experiences, and ways to carve out possibilities and dreams along the way. The session aims to inspire attendees to dream big and show them how to chase those dreams wholeheartedly.

Keeping with our tradition of past Stevie® Award winners keynoting the conference, HUGO BOSS is a multiple-time Stevie winner in the Stevie Awards® for Great Employers for COVID Response and HR Achievement in 2019 and 2020. The organization also won three Gold Stevies in the 2021 German Stevie® Awards.
