Example

thesawmillcreative.comExample

[a creative agency]

Executive Creative Director of the Year · The Executive Awards 2027

Made in one studio, from the first idea to the final cut.

His portrait beside the promise on the studio’s own website, with the winner badge in the hero. Marked example.

An example. Nobody has won an Expy yet. The person is Kevin Mack, with his own portrait and his own photographs, shown as a winner’s kit would sit on him. The studio is invented and is written as a bracketed description, never a trading name, on a domain checked as unregistered so the badge is never on a real company’s real website. The banner, the ring, the badges, the winner post and the Expys highlight cover are the real media kit files.

Entertainment directed by Kevin Mack.

Hosts work the floor on every night: you are met at the door, walked to your table, and introduced once you are in the room. You never walk in alone.

Indicative times. Every winner’s name is called and filmed on stage, in the room or not. Running times are set with the venue. The Executive night has a headline act; the Entrepreneur night, a special guest performance. Both are announced before the night.

The room

The Expys live event format.

A model of the planned gala room seen from above, set for 250 guests: the stage and LED wall, two side screens on the long wall, rounds of ten, a VIP lounge, the entrance arch, registration, the bar, a glam station, a partner stand, a green screen and the red carpet to the photo wall.

The nights

Reserve your place in the room.

A reservation holds your seat for 7 days, and costs nothing.

How many: 10 cards are issued worldwide, each one numbered, and they are allocated by region. Where it starts: the night, the Executive Penthouse on the night of the awards, the car on the days it runs, and every experience the city offers. What makes it more: extra hotel nights, extra car time, and anything else you ask us to arrange, each charged at cost and agreed with you before it is booked.

Hosts work the floor on every night, for every guest: the greeting at the door, the walk to your table, and the introductions once you are in the room. You never walk in alone.

Prices per person, in Melbourne’s currency. The Executive Penthouse is one room. Every city has its own day out and its own restorative day, priced for that city. Hotels, cars, courses, operators and the bar list are confirmed with the venue and named then. The Press Party gives you time with the press in the room; no coverage is promised. The Mastermind Breakfast is by invitation and never sold.

Ours, guaranteed · In an indexed newsroom, not a page of its own · No link back.

Eventpress is ours. We own the masthead, so this is the one placement here that is certain: every other name on this page is a rate we pay or a wire feed, and an outlet can still decline those. That is why Eventpress is in every pack, including the cheapest. It is also a new site with none of the authority of Forbes or USA Today, your release runs in its newsroom rather than on a page of its own, and it carries no link back to you. We would rather write that down than let our own title sit unlabelled beside the ones we buy.

Prices here are the worldwide ones. Sign in and tell us where you are based, and every pack also places a named title in your own country, priced on what that country actually costs.

Only available to members. Sign in, or create your account, and the store is waiting for you there. Read the newsroom.

Most placements are live in three to five working days. A newswire syndicates your release to the outlets on its feed. It is not an article written by those outlets, and no outlet endorses the award. Every placement is agreed with you before it goes out.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is The Expys?

The Expys honour the people who make an industry: the people behind live events, the founders who build, and the executives who lead. Three programmes, the Expo Awards, the Executive Awards and the Entrepreneur Awards, run under one house.

Which programme is mine?

The Expo Awards are for the people and companies behind expos, events, conferences, summits and festivals. If nobody can sack you, you belong in the Entrepreneur Awards. If you can be sacked by someone who is not you, you belong in the Executive Awards.

Who picks the winner?

The public vote. It names three to five finalists, and the finalist with the most counted votes wins. One verified vote per person, every vote checked, the count independently certified. Sponsors never vote.

What does it cost?

The Executive and Entrepreneur Awards are US$99 per category. The Expo Awards are US$49 for a team member, US$199 for a supplier category, US$99 for a show and US$199 for an organiser. Nominating someone is free, and every entry is 100% refundable if your application isn’t approved.

Is this pay to win?

No. The entry fee pays for your page. It does not buy votes, a finalist place or the result, and sponsors never vote.

When do entries open and close?

Entries and the vote are open, and they close 30 April to 15 May 2027, by region, Melbourne first, for all three programmes. Finalists are announced four weeks before your night.

Do I have to be there to win?

No. Voting happens online, and the vote decides. Every country’s winners are revealed live on stage at that country’s night, and online the same moment, whether or not the winner is in the room. Finalists are invited to attend, because that is where the trophy and the plaque are handed over. A winner who cannot be there is revealed online the same night and given the virtual award, the Winner badge, the press release and the media kit, with a film of the award being presented on stage in their name. Hong Kong is revealed at the Virtual Awards Night, streamed.

Are the dates and venues set?

The dates are set: the nights run June to July 2027, and Dubai and Riyadh in November, Melbourne first on Friday 4 June 2027. Where a night has its month and not yet its day, the card says so. Venues to be confirmed.
