Tourism Queensland’s Best Job wins again – this time at the AMI Awards

Tourism Queensland’s Best Job In The World campaign clocked up yet another major award last night, this time top prize at the Australian Marketing Institute Awards for Marketing Excellence.  

The project was created by Brisbane-based Sapient Nitro (previosuly known as Cummins Nitro). As well as winning in individual categories, it was named Marketing Program of the Year at the ceremony in Sydney.

Mark Crowe, CEO of the AMI, said: “The Best Job campaign now ranks as one of the great all time marketing programs. Tourism Queensland are worthy winners because on top of such an innovative campaign, with tangible outcomes, they were prepared to take a slightly longer view of reaching their goals.”

At the weekend, the campaign picked up the top prize in the Caxtons Awards for newspaper ads
