Denise O’Leary MBE’s Amazon #1 Bestseller WINNER Features at Ideas Fest 2025 Book Exchange

Purpol Marketing is delighted to announce that our Founder and Managing Director, Denise O’Leary MBE, has been selected to showcase her bestselling book, WINNER – How to Win Business Awards, at the prestigious Ideas Fest 2025 Book Exchange.

Taking place on 10–11 September in Tring, Hertfordshire, Ideas Fest is the UK’s most exciting festival for founders, innovators, and business leaders. Known as the “Glastonbury for entrepreneurs,” the event brings together over 4,000 attendees including founders, investors, creatives, and industry trailblazers for two days of inspiration, learning, and powerful networking.

The Ideas Fest Book Exchange is a new feature designed to highlight standout titles that inspire entrepreneurial journeys. Denise’s book—an Amazon #1 bestseller—will be featured prominently, giving attendees the chance to browse, discover, and take away copies.

WINNER – How to Win Business Awards distils Denise’s 30 years of marketing and bid writing expertise into practical strategies that help businesses craft compelling, judge-aligned award entries. The book forms the foundation of WINNER AI™, the UK’s first GPT-powered tool specifically trained to help entrepreneurs and consultants create award-winning submissions.

Denise shared her excitement:

“Ideas Fest is all about big conversations and bold ideas, so I’m thrilled to have my book featured in the Book Exchange. It’s a fantastic opportunity to inspire founders and innovators to showcase their achievements, while connecting with a community that values creativity, resilience, and growth.”

With sessions ranging from startup growth and resilience to conversations with iconic founders like Simon Woodroffe (YO! Sushi), Ideas Fest is set to be an unmissable celebration of entrepreneurship.
