Ingenious digital PR
Ingenious digital PR for winning
awards programmes
Without exception our people have worked on both sides of the agency supplier fence, which uniquely suits us to write award entries drawing on the best of both worlds. Moreover, our record in winning award competitions is outstanding.
From PDFs to videos and infographics we’re expert at content marketing, pushing the envelope with messaging that really counts. And we’ve proved to our customers we have the mettle to run successful awards programmes. This year the numbers are growing again and there’s every reason to think we’re likely to top the market.
What we do in a nutshell
Award entry opportunities
GoRefCo has become a trusted and invaluable extension to the team that plans and manages Genesys award entries. They deliver compelling content across different regions, and in tight timeframes. Our partnership in this area is certainly one of the reasons we’ve enjoyed such success.
Genesys
As well as assisting us with great PR content, GoRefCo get to the heart of our awards strategy. Not only helping us choose the right targets, but also researching and interviewing to identify key messages and USPs, so that our award entries are right up to the moment and are written in our distinctive tone of voice.
Kerv Group
GoRefCo came to the rescue when another agency let us down and left us with a seemingly insurmountable task of hitting submission deadlines. As a global organisation, the sources were scattered across continents, and they pulled everything together in record timescales for a winning result.
8x8 Inc
Having worked closely with us for six years, GoRefCo is so familiar with our technology and our strategic thinking. No wonder then that we choose them to write our award entries, which are consistently successful. Our senior management regards the newly-launched programme as a new and powerful string to our bow.

No, but we have seasoned and experienced PR consultants all around Europe.

Our network of native-language correspondents consists of business and technically literate journalists. Those feet on international ground gives us considerable competitive edge.

Working with us
Why should we work with GoRefCo?
Our clients trust us to represent them in front of their customers at the highest levels. That’s because we’re serious, creative people who understand technology and know the way to translate it into board-level language and measurable business benefits. Our storytelling skills help win awards for our customers and applause for our people.
What will it be like working together?
We’re helpful souls who know “how to win friends and influence people” as Dale Carnegie once wrote. Today, we use phrases like the customer experience. We apply those disciplines in the interests of creating highly satisfied customers by understanding their aspirations and actioning activities they’ll want to own.
How do you work?
Collaboratively, and in close knit teams, making the most of individuals’ innate academic skills
Do you offer any kind of promise or guarantee?
We promise each submission will set the bar ever higher in terms of service levels and timely delivery, as evidenced by our award-winning success. Interdependence between case studies and awards activities is a lesson many have not yet learned. We teach our customers (existing and prospective) the value of this hard-won knowledge.
