Travelscene American Express agents have been advised to use recent group award recognition to leverage their brand power in the marketplace, automatically differentiating their services against competitor businesses.

CEO Mike Thompson said this year's NTIA win for best agency group was even more significant than in the past, with judging based on formal submissions and presentations for the first time, which was led by General Manager Jacqui Timmins and David Padman for the group.

"We had the opportunity to highlight the commitment of customer service and innovation," Ms Timmins said, adding the NCC also placed an additional coo for the group during judging.

"In achieving 6 out of 10 of agency or consultant awards at NTIA, we are examples of being number one in our industry

"Leverage this success as a group.  It is a fantastic way to raise awareness of your business, provide you with a point of difference and can create great word of mouth referrals.  "

"Our marketing team are out there spreading word with social campaigns, but the NTIA winner logo is a strong visual reminder of this achievement and we recommend you use this in all your local marketing activities"
