Are Corporate Vision awards fake?
This was a burning question in my head in September 2021 but didn’t have much luck googling it. Here’s our experience and analysis of Small Business Awards by Corporate Vision. Read on to find out whether the awards handed out by Corporate Vision awards truly are a legit or not.
How did we hear about Corporate Vision?
Corporate Vision contacted us in September 2021 announcing us that we were nominated as candidate for being the best company in the ‘IT Infrastructure Management Specialists - Finland’ category for Small Business Awards. At that time (before this blog post) there was very little information online about Small Business Awards or the company behind them. What I learned at that time was that they seemed to be a so-called ‘vanity award’, where winners have been preselected and everything else was just for show. We could not be absolutely sure about that then, and we thought that “winning” might have some marketing value, so we decided to play along and see where it leads us. I will first go through the process, then I’ll try to give an answer the question in the title.
