"Let me tell you about my amazing experience with Karen and the team at Reputation by Design! Working with them has been an absolute pleasure, especially when it comes to Award Submission Writing. They are true experts in this field and have made the entire process incredibly easy for me. I interviewed with Jael from their team, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. They really know how to extract the right details and showcase them in the most compelling way. I can't recommend Reputation by Design enough. They have actually written three of my winning submissions so far, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their service is top-notch, and they consistently deliver exceptional work. If you're looking for a team that excels in Award Submission Writing and provides superlative service, don't hesitate to reach out to Karen and her team at Reputation by Design. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!"

From the first moment I reached out to Karen, she and her whole team have displayed the utmost professionalism, creativity and attention to detail. Their knowledge & experience in quality award submission writing is second to none and their ability to put into words exactly who we are and what we do is uncanny! Even with them being located in NSW and us in Perth WA, each time we have worked with them it feels like they are right in our office alongside us. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of Reputation by Design to anyone seeking quality award writing and copyright assistance. Thank you Karen and team for everything you have done for us to date."

"I recently decided to nominate my business for a prestigious industry award. Although I was confident that we had the runs on the board to be genuine contenders, I was overwhelmed with the process and lacked the clarity required to capture the essence of what makes our business great. Once I made the decision to engage a professional, Karen and her team took the reins and managed the entire process from start to finish. I was exceedingly pleased with the final result, and on reading our final submission I felt that the essence of our business had been bottled! The awards haven’t been announced yet but regardless of the outcome I have zero hesitation in recommending Karen. Fingers crossed!"
