The American Business Awards (Stevie® Awards) | Submission Writing Services
Don't Let a Bad Narrative Hide a Great Achievement
The Stevie® Awards are the premier business recognition program in the U.S. But winning a Stevie isn't just about having good metrics - it’s about writing a persuasive essay that captures the judges' imagination. At Orange Bridge, we turn your yearly achievements into a gold-standard narrative.
Why Most Stevie® Award Submissions Fail
With over 200 categories in the American Business Awards—from Tech Innovation of the Year to Marketing Campaign of the Year—identifying the right fit is difficult. But the real challenge is the writing.
The application isn't just a form; it requires a strictly formatted, persuasive essay. Most companies fail because they paste in technical bullet points instead of crafting a narrative. To win Gold, you need a story that resonates with the judges.
How We Build a Gold-Winning Stevie® Entry
A three-step process designed to turn technical achievements into persuasive business narratives.
Category Strategy & Selection
We analyze your project or product to identify the category with the highest probability of winning. (Sometimes the niche categories offer a better shot at Gold than the general ones).
Professional Narrative Copywriting
This is the core of the service. We interview your SMEs and write the mandatory up to 650-word essay. We focus on:
The Hook: Grabbing the judge's attention in the first paragraph.
The Struggle: Clearly defining the market challenge you overcame.
The Solution: Articulating your strategy without jargon.
The Result: Hard data proof points.
Evidence & Materials Curation
You can't just attach random PDFs. We help curate and caption your Supporting Materials (videos, links, press clippings) to ensure they perfectly reinforce the points made in the essay.
Critical Deadlines for the American Business Awards
Winning requires unique data, but you don't need endless meetings to get it. We adapt to your workflow: choose a live SME interview or use our proprietary guided questionnaire to fast-track the process. Once we have the raw info, we take 2-3 weeks to polish it into a Gold-winning entry.

Often referred to as "the Oscars of Business," the Stevie Awards are the world's premier business awards program. Created in 2002, they honor the achievements of organizations and professionals worldwide, from tech giants to small B2B agencies.
Winning a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie provides powerful third-party validation and a "seal of excellence" that you can use in your marketing, sales decks, and email signatures.
The client is responsible for all official entry fees payable directly to the Stevie Awards organization.
Our service fee covers the strategy, copywriting, and submission management. We will provide you with the final pricing tier for your specific category so there are no surprises, and we can guide you through the payment portal.
We value transparency. Before starting, we provide a formal contract (Statement of Work) that clearly outlines the project scope, deliverables, and timelines so you know exactly what you are receiving.
For billing, we use Stripe to process payments securely, allowing for a seamless transaction experience via credit card or ACH.
We aim to keep your involvement to under 2 hours total.
We need roughly 45–60 minutes for an initial SME interview (or for you to fill out our proprietary questionnaire) and about 30 minutes to review the final draft. We handle all the heavy lifting, research, and formatting in between.
Yes, and we often recommend it!
The Stevies have over 200 categories. A single project might be a strong contender for "Tech Innovation of the Year" and "Best New Product - B2B." If we identify a multi-category opportunity, we can adapt the essay for the second category at a reduced "add-on" rate.
No ethical agency can guarantee a win, as judging is subjective and anonymous.
However, we maximize your odds by ensuring your entry avoids common pitfalls (like jargon or lack of metrics) and hits every persuasive note the judges are trained to look for. Our goal is to make your submission the easiest one for them to score highly.
We have years of experience specializing in tech and industry award submission support, and are confident we can optimize your submission.
You have the results. We have the words.
The February 11th deadline is closer than you think. Writing a winning narrative takes strategy, not just typing. Our production calendar fills up weeks in advance. Secure your writer today to ensure your entry gets the time and polish it needs to win Gold.
