Previous Nominees, Finalists and Winners have all received a fantastic amount of exposure and business through actively promoting their involvement in the People's Choice Awards program.
The Corporate Events Guide represents an extremely large proportion of the corporate event planning industry, so it is wonderful for us to be able to give something back.
The awards program is designed to stimulate the corporate event planning industry by encouraging companies to promote themselves throughout the year during these tough economical times. This independent pro-active style of marketing can greatly increase a nominee's brand awareness in the marketplace and helps to drive the New Zealand economy forward as a whole.
The Corporate Events Guide team has designed a series of beautifully simple and proactive marketing tools which enables lucky nominees to reconnect with their past clients whilst at the same time, providing them with a catalyst in which to attract new ones.
