My advice to anyone swithering whether to enter the Scottish Design Awards is go for it… It could help to win that next dream project. Since winning the Agency of the Year, we’ve both tendered for and won work for the likes of the V&A Dundee and Six by Nico, both of whom were already aware of our success…Another piece of advice I would give to people is, don’t leave it to the last minute to work on your entry, treat it as a case study…
