Cognism Champions is a program designed to celebrate our customers when advocating for Cognism.
If you're getting success through your use of Cognism and are willing to share it with us or publicly, this program is for you!

- To sign up, click on your profile (in the top right corner of the WebApp).
- Then, click on 'Be a Champion, get free stuff'. This will open a new tab and take you to a portal with a Terms & Conditions window.
3. Read the Terms & Conditions of the program (at least the summary) which you can also find in this article, scroll to the bottom and click 'agree'.
4. You'll automatically be enrolled and can navigate the program's pages.
Please note the only obligation you have by signing up is to complete 1 activity within the first 3 months of signing up.
How it works
There are several advocacy activities to get involved in and depending on the activity, you can either register your interest for it, or complete it directly in the program.
You can earn a different number of points depending on the activity you complete (see below the number of points per activity).
The points you earn act as your digital currency. The aim is to accrue points through multiple activities and use them to redeem rewards, so the more you participate the easier it is to claim the best rewards.
