-
If the content you are creating is part of your every day activity or a committee you are volunteering towards, it sadly doesn't fall under the Insights Challenge – this covers blogs for the Gazette, RFPs, WinWires, lunch and learns, Guild activity etc... This is because the challenge is about rewarding content creation that specifically supports marketing campaign or organic social activity AND falls outside what you would be expected to achieve through your 'normal' job responsibilities (hence why marketing can't get involved!) or have volunteered to support.
-
If you are creating something that is predominately client- or internal-facing but have a way to create a second version that marketing can share externally, please get in touch!
-
​This challenge is open to all at GlobalLogic UK&I and there is no limit to how much you can enter. The more you enter, the more points you receive.
-
At the end of the challenge, we will draw winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Only one prize per person will be awarded. If your name is called twice in the draw, you will be awarded the first prize assigned to you, and we will draw again until another’s name is called.
-
If you were luckily enough to be last challenge’s winner, you will be unable to place any higher than 3rd place in the challenge that immediately follows. If your name is called, you will be immediately assigned 3rd place and we will draw 1st and/or 2nd place again, if relevant. More details to be released closer to the challenge end.

Available prizes can be found here.
FAQS
HOW DO YOU SCORE MY ENTRY ?
Based on the maximum points available for your entry type, your entry will be scored points based on:
Relevancy
How relevant it is to current trends in our industry? We also look at how relevant it is to GlobalLogic, our clients and our competencies.
​
Uniqueness
How unique is the content? Is it different to what other organisations are publishing? Does it offer unique insights?
​
Engagement
Style and presentation. Does it keep the viewer / reader / listener engaged? If the content doesn't sit on an GlobalLogic marketing channel (say a talk on a partner's YouTube channel or guest blog), we will check if the content references GlobalLogic explicitly and/or links back to our website or social channels.
​
Marketing engagement
Depending on how much of marketing's involvement is required to push the content live will determine how many points are rewarded. So if marketing were to ghost write a blog (for example), the author would only receive 50% of the points.

CAN I WIN TWO INSIGHTS CHALLENGES IN A ROW?
Yes, and no. If you were luckily enough to win the challenge that took place immediately before this one, you are welcome to participate in the current challenge, but you'll only be able to place 3rd. Fear not! We will award prizes and points in exactly the same way, so if you do manage to top the board in the challenge immediately following the challenge you previously won, 2nd and 3rd place with automatically bunnyhop you after the challenge has come to an end. This is to give others the chance to bag that top prize. This caveat only applies to the challenge immediately after the one you won – meaning you'll be able to win 1st prize in the challenges following.
