Case Study

Award-Winning Submissions for Regional
Business Excellence

The Brief

Sauce Communications was engaged by two regional NSW businesses, Griffith Panel and Paint and Haus of Vitality, to support their entries into prestigious local business awards. Griffith Panel and Paint sought recognition at the Griffith Chamber Business Awards, while Haus of Vitality was nominated across multiple categories at the Leeton Business Awards, a premier event celebrating excellence and innovation in the local business community. 

Both businesses were looking to elevate their visibility, credibility, and community impact through strategic award submissions.

Our Approach

Sauce Communications took a tailored, hands-on approach to each submission. For Griffith Panel and Paint, we began with an in-person inception meeting to understand the business’s journey, values, and operational excellence. We developed a strong narrative, incorporating key data, milestones, and community contributions. Our team also provided support with submission formatting, portal upload, and messaging for post-award communications.

For Haus of Vitality, we worked closely with the company founder to articulate their brand’s purpose, growth, and innovation in the wellness space. Our storytelling approach highlighted the business’s commitment to community wellbeing, customer experience, and entrepreneurial spirit.

In both cases, Sauce provided end-to-end support, from initial concept development to final submission, ensuring clarity, impact, and alignment with award objectives.

The Results

Both Griffith Panel and Paint and Haus of Vitality were successful in all categories for which Sauce Communications supported their submissions. Griffith Panel won the Outstanding New Business Award and Business Woman of the Year Award, while Haus of Vitality received recognition in Excellence in Innovation and Excellence in Small Business. These wins not only celebrate their achievements but also strengthen their reputation within their communities and industries.

This outcome reflects our deep understanding of regional business dynamics and our ability to craft compelling narratives that elevate local success stories. Through strategic communications, tailored messaging, and expert storytelling, we helped these businesses stand out in competitive fields.

The project highlights Sauce’s broader capability in content development, brand positioning, and stakeholder engagement, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner for regional businesses seeking to amplify their impact.
