AMI splits marketing program of the year award, Holly Kramer honoured for achievements
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and Melbourne University shared the award for Marketing Program of the Year at the 36th AMI Awards last night.
The award was split between two campaigns, Meat and Livestock Australia for ‘The most successful lamb campaign ever,’ and Melbourne University for ‘Revitalising a 160-year-old brand.’
Meat and Livestock Australia also took home awards for brand revitalisation and marketing communications (B2Cand B2B), while Melbourne University won the education category.
Holly Kramer, former marketing head at Ford, Telstra and now a non-executive director of Woolworths, AMP, Australia Post and Nine Entertainment, won the Sir Charles McGrath award, recognising her contribution to the marketing field.
Kramer said of the award: “It is indeed an honour to receive this recognition from the AMI, the peak body representing and developing the marketing profession here in Australia. Customer centricity is more important in business now than ever before, so the work of the AMI should certainly be acknowledged and applauded.”
Speaking at the awards for marketing excellence, Andrew Thornton, AMI chair said: “These awards recognise and celebrate excellence in marketing at both an individual and organisational level. The quality of the entries and the spread of award winners is testament to the fact that the marketing profession in Australia is in a very healthy state”.
