At Strategic Proposals, we’ve long championed the value of great design in proposals — from sponsoring the first APMP design award nearly a decade ago, to helping teams integrate design thinking into their bid processes.
In 2025, with buyer expectations evolving and competition fiercer than ever, design is no longer a "nice to have" — it's a critical differentiator.
So we undertook fresh research to find out how design is being used right now across bid teams — in-house, outsourced, and everything in between.
Our new white paper explores the findings and shares insights from across the profession.
