Last night in Sydney we kicked off the first of the Networking & State Finalist Reveal Nights and now we can announce the finalists for NSW! Congratulations to everyone who submitted an award entry in NSW, there truly were some incredible campaigns in the running from marketing teams big and small. Thank you to the 120  AMI Award Judges who assessed the merits of each entry, taking into consideration the different B2B and B2C metrics and success factors and the linkage between strategy, execution and outcomes achieved.
