Creative Territory claims national small business title
16 November 2009
Darwin based public relations and marketing company, Creative Territory, was named Champion Specialised Small Business at the Australian Small Business Champion Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Saturday night in Sydney.
The Awards recognise the achievements and performances of small businesses and celebrate the contribution small businesses make to the Australian way of life.
Creative Territory was selected from an impressive array of entries, with national winners representing a broad range of industries from all states and territories.
Creative Territory Managing Director Tracy Jones said that she was absolutely delighted with the Award.
“As a small business with offices in Darwin and Alice Springs it is often difficult to gauge how we are doing on the national stage. This Award sends a very clear message that we are doing the right thing.
“At Creative Territory we pride ourselves on our core values of creativity, passion and integrity – and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.”
“This Award recognises the commitment we have made to establishing a successful and innovative company and serves as an inspiration to the team to continue doing clever things for our clients and the Territory.”
The Australian Small Business Champion Award follows Creative Territory’s recent win at the national Public Relations Institute of Australia’s Golden Target Awards in Brisbane for its government-sponsored campaign, Prove that You Love Me.
The award-winning campaign, conducted on behalf of Darwin City Council, was undertaken to promote new animal by-laws, which included stricter controls on dogs and, for the first time, registration of cats and achieved an increase in the number of pets micro-chipped and a reduction in reported dog attacks over a six month period.
Tracy said these Awards were testament to the virtual agency she created in partnership with local design agency Sprout.
“We’ve proven the value of combining strategy with creativity to create campaigns that are targeted, strategic, creative and, most importantly, deliver results.”
“Special thanks goes to our clients for making this possible, for believing in us and giving us the support to build a successful business,” she said.
