So you won! Congratulations!! But what now? Well, many organizations use a business award win as a launching point for a targeted marketing campaign, usually starting with a tweet or two!

So with the 2016 BIG Awards for Business trophies hitting winners doorsteps and receptionist's counters, now is a good time to think about all that you can do with that shiny new award.

Good news, we actually have been doing this a while so we wrote the "Business Award Checklist" that you can download and put to use immediately. You'll find tips on where to place the award logo digitally, like did you remember your Glassdoor page? Or maybe you should get window clings made for all your trucks!

So without any further delay, lets look at some of the good tweets winners have posted to amplify and extend the buzz of their win!

What makes a good tweet?
