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”.
