Tasmanian AMI Awards: Winners announced

I've never been big on awards ceremonies, but Tassie marketing's night of nights has a lot of good things going for it - not least of which being its zero-tolerance policy on big fuckoff acceptance speeches.

It was a sweet night, and hats must go off to the Floatingworld and Walker Designs crews for delivering brilliant live pitches, and of course to MC Richard Crawford - who is consistently hilarious.

Anyway, here's the winners:

• Marketer of the Year - Peter Choraziak
• Emerging Marketer of the Year - Scott Woodhouse
• Student Marketer of the Year - Christiane King
• Brand Extension - MyState Financial / Red Jelly
• Brand Revitalisation - Country Club Tasmania
• Consumer Insight - Aurora / Red Jelly
• Corporate Social Responsibility - MyState Financial / Red Jelly
• Experiential and Band Experiences - Clemenger Tasmania
• Green Marketing - Aurora / Red Jelly
• Marketing Communications - MyState Financial / Red Jelly
• New Product / Service Launch - Aurora Energy / Red Jelly
• Social Marketing - Aurora / Red Jelly

It's good to see so much talent kicking around Tasmania - and then so much of that coming massively unstuck at the Cargo afterparty. Shout outs to the AMI for another solid local gig.

Thanks for 3 awesome years!

Just a quick one to say a huge thank you to Hobart-based technology incubator (and my second home) In-tellinc, who over the past three years have have given me every opportunity to learn, explore and develop my career.

So thanks a million to James Robinson, Scott Brownell, Larry Podmore, Judy Holter, Neville Wilson and Zain Wright for a great time and so many brilliant projects! And in particular I want to thank Suzi Watral, who's been a close colleague and personal mentor since bringing me into the K2B Marketing Graduate Program in 2007.

Thanks again guys!
