The team at the UK Content Awards asked judge Chelsea Jarvis what stands out in Content and what scores with judges and wins awards.
Over to Chelsea
“What really stands out to me as a judge is how the strongest entries combined creativity with real commercial impact. It wasn’t just about producing content that looked great, the best work had absolute clarity on audience, purpose and measurable outcomes.
In a crowded landscape, the entries that impressed me most were those that demonstrated:
- Clear strategy, insight and intent. Content that was rooted in research, with a genuine understanding of audience needs and behaviours.
- Storytelling with substance. Entries that told a compelling story but also backed it up with data, results and evidence of meaningful change.
Ultimately, the work that really caught my attention was content that had a creative spark paired with a measurable impact. That combination is what elevates good content into award-winning content.
