Go team! CommsCon finalists

Two of our superstar team members are finalists in this year's CommsCon Awards recognising awesomeness in the PR and communications industry.Claire Laffan (Filtered Media PR Director) for PR Professional Of The Year“Claire is an outstanding professional and individual, she is resilient, positive, determined and always presents exquisitely - she leads by example, never asking of others anything she wouldn’t be willing to do herself. I remember the stormy day we launched an e-waste initiative with a live outdoor display on Bondi beach. It was bucketing down, but Claire still hit the phones at 4:30am with a smile and steely determination to get results for her not-for-profit client. It has been a pleasure to mentor Claire, knowing whatever I invest will come back three-fold to benefit her campaigns, clients, team members, and future achievements. She deserves every accolade as a beacon in our industry of what hard work, positivity, an open mind, and respect can achieve.” - Heather Jones, MD, Filtered MediaSarah Broome (Filtered Media Social Content Manager) for Social Media Community Manager Of The Year“Sarah’s experience in communications and PR account management added to her sales and customer service background give her an edge when curating creative on-brand content for the social communities she manages. Consumers who visit our brand pages are excited, educated, engaged and inspired by the content they read and the interaction they have with the brand. This year I’ve seen Sarah harness the insights gleaned from social listening tools and back-end analytics to determine social strategy. She’s better able to adapt content for the right demographics and deliver great results not solely through paid promotion, but through solid, organic community shares.” - Mark Jones, CEO, Filtered MediaRegardless of the outcome, we'll be buffed, polished and grinning away at the awards night on Wednesday March 18 at Doltone House, Hyde Park in Sydney - just proud of our pepes, and happy to there!Congratulations, Claire, and Sarah.
