Bennett Awards was built on a foundation of commitment to our values as a small family business, and it has always been one of our goals to use our success to support the causes we believe are contributing to a better world. With these priorities in mind, Bennett Awards is proud to have created the Common Good Partnership program. This innovative program allows non-profit and educational organizations to not only enhance their brand visibility but also benefit from a 10% discount by simply linking back to our post on their website—a fantastic and synergistic way for smaller businesses and charitable organizations to support each other’s objectives. 

We take pride in working with organizations that are serving an altruistic purpose. One of our guiding company principles is a desire to contribute to the heightened environmental, social, educational, and community consciousness in the world today, so we feel a special affinity for organizations that serve this purpose. Getting to hear their stories, celebrate their contributions and be a part of their missions is a joyful highlight for all of the Bennett Awards staff, including our consultants, designers and craftsmen.

Awards can convey appreciation for so many things, from celebrating achievements and capturing company cultures to one of the most meaningful opportunities we have had at Bennett Awards: being a part of honoring the lives of special individuals who have passed on. We have gotten to hear incredible stories about the lives of some of the honorees and about the difference they have made in the world. It was a privilege for our project managers, designers, and artists to receive the trust of the loved ones and community of these individuals to capture their spirits in a piece of art. 

Recent Gallup polls have put the recognition opportunities that Bennett Awards creates for companies into new perspective.

At Bennett Awards, storytelling is not just a technique; it's our cornerstone. Without a compelling narrative, our designs lack the depth that resonates with our clients. Whether celebrating corporate achievements or personal milestones, each recognition award we craft is infused with emotion and significance. Our Creative Director, Ryan Rivas, emphasizes the importance of storytelling, stating, “Stories are integral almost in every aspect of design.” We delve deep into the narrative behind each award, extracting its essence and translating it into visual elements that resonate with both giver and recipient. By channeling the emotions embedded within the story, we create awards that not only celebrate success but also capture the essence of the journey that led to it.

There has been a noticeable trend among clients using AI-generated mockups for their custom awards. These mockups can jump-start the custom design process, with the hope of improved convenience, speed and cost-effectiveness. Oftentimes these images can be a conversation-starter as award inspiration. However, at Bennett Awards, we believe it's crucial to shed light on the limitations and potential pitfalls of AI-generated mockups.
