Special Australia

Wow, what a day! There was so much to honour and celebrate at AdNews Australia awards yesterday. Congratulations to Mark Green for being inducted into the Adnews Hall of Fame for his undeniable contribution to our industry and its' creativity over the years. It was painfully sad but beautiful to pay tribute to Lisa Ronson and the extraordinary impact she made on so many. Big congratulations to our dear partners Uber who won Marketing Team of the Year — it has to be the best team and partnership in Australia's marketing history - or so we think so 🙂 And for us Special Australia it was a big day indeed where we were blessed to take out 7 awards including Adnews Agency of the Year Award, Creative Agency of the Year Award as well as the Game Changer Award and Ad Campaign of the Year Award for the Shift 20 Initiative with Dylan Alcott Foundation PHD Glue Society and many of Australis'a leading brands.

Watch Uber's Lucinda Barlow recent ADMA #keynote on 'Learning to Laugh at Ourselves'. Lucinda shared her views on why humour can work hard for brands- as a trojan horse for novelty, as a shortcut to humility and likability, and as a lightning rod for attention, emotion and memorability.

We can’t thank everyone who has helped make us us, enough for an incredible 10 years of Special Australia. Here’s to another incredible 10 more.
