What an amazing 24 hours, thank you Media Federation of Australia! On Thursday the Match & Wood team attended MFA Ex in Sydney, where our Comms Executive Ashley Hill once again gave a compelling Inspiration X talk on the importance of blending media smarts with economic insights to ensure success for our clients. That evening we also had the privilege of attending the MFA Awards to celebrate our shortlist for Best Use of Screens for our work with Snooze, and our brilliant Comms Managers Charlotte Israili and Cassandra Deegan who were up for the NGEN Award 👏 A huge day, a huge evening, and a Maccas run at 2am. We'd call that a success!!! #matchandwood #mediaagency #awards #talent NGEN an MFA Initiative

If you were at MFA Ex in Melbourne today you have now heard of Ashley Hill, 18 months in the industry and currently juggling work with his final year of uni, he commanded the stage as one of the Inspiration X speakers. And it's fair to say the entire Match & Wood team was bursting with pride from the front row!! Comms Executive by day and an economist at heart, Ash spoke about the need to look further afield than the media KPIs in front of us if we want to truly understand how to help our clients win. Having a lens on ‘this week in the economy’ and the macro forces affecting our clients is a big key to success in a tough market. Not only did he give great advice, he showed that fresh insights from an up & comer can be just as valuable as observations from industry veterans. Thank you Sophie Madden Linda Wong and the rest of the amazing Media Federation of Australia team for a great event, and for providing an opportunity for young industry talent to contribute.

We are committed to constant learning and improvement, and a huge part of that is our reconciliation journey. Recently the Match & Wood Melbourne team had an amazing experience on the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk where we connected with people and places that both inspired us and assisted in our understanding of the First Nations people in our area. This tour along the "river of mists and shadows" taught us about the area's rich history and the impact of colonisation, we learned how interconnected our environment and history are, and how this influenced the art and culture of the Kulin Nation. Thank you to the Koorie Heritage Trust for facilitating such a wonderful and insightful experience for our team. Lucinda Kitney Daniel Bradley #matchandwood #mediaagency #dei #reconciliation

And we have a winner!! It was an amazing moment to see our National Planning Director Ryan Hancock crowned a winner at the AdNews Australia Emerging Leaders event last night. This award recognises incredible industry talent, and those people who are shaping the future of media, marketing & advertising. Congrats also goes to Jodie Allen who was a well-deserving finalist; these two are certainly continuing their world domination in 2024 👊 #matchandwood #mediaagency #talent #emergingleaders
