What are you looking for from this year’s TR100 entrants?

 
Entrants attempting to contribute to solving some of the problems the world faces today. Startups that surprise and delight, engage, ooze enthusiasm and excitement for what they are doing?

What advice would you give to companies wanting to stand out from the crowd?

 
I’m in PR so I would say tell a story! What’s the narrative? Weave all your key messages into a tale. Use the same techniques as you would if you were talking to a friend – the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, the ugly and the inspiring!
