The night we lost to the Subsea Internet and why it is a WIN
At the 2026 Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards, we were finalists for Excellence in International Trade. We shared the shortlist with some of the biggest names in global trade and heritage: ASN (Alcatel Submarine Networks): The industry giant that builds the world’s subsea internet cables. The Greenwich Foundation: The custodians of the Old Royal Naval College. Inside Out Contracts and Fast Shield Packaging: Major players in global supply chains.
We didn’t take home the trophy; the “Subsea Internet” did. But here is why that is a massive win for our clients:
Being shortlisted alongside these global powerhouses proves one thing: Pic Tree is playing at a world-class level.
From „Silence” to „Signed”
How does specialised visual research drive global growth?
It transforms the dreaded “I’ll think about it…” into a decisive “That’s exactly what I need—where do I sign?”
We don’t just “make content”. We solve the clarity crisis. Most businesses fail to close because their message doesn’t quite hit home. Through deep, specialised research, we listen until we find the exact friction holding your prospect back. We then build a visual strategy that turns that friction into a clear, inevitable path forward.
With support from the JPMorgan Mentoring Program and the European Regional Development Fund (KEEP+), we’ve moved beyond standard production to focus on one goal: using visual communication to bridge the gap between your expertise and your client’s trust, helping you close the deal.
Our clients call it a: „A real knack for getting to the heart of what you needed.”
As Seth Godin says,
„Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers.” We apply that same principle to your visuals: we don’t just push content out; we design a message that your customers are actually looking for.”
