Daniel Leesong CEO of the Communications Council said: “We are aiming to demonstrate the importance of our industry to a broader audience while providing an opportunity for industry learning, networking and celebration of the best creative work. Our industry has a lot to celebrate and plays a unique role in the ongoing development of Australian culture.”
