Little Black Book Gears Up for Big Week for Australia and New Zealand

The festive ads are finally out, summer is arriving and Little Black Book has a super-charged new platform to show off - so no wonder we’re in the mood to party. And next week the party comes to Sydney as we kick off the Australia and New Zealand round of judging for the Immortal Awards. 

The penultimate round of Immortal Awards judging will see a team of industry leaders gather at ARC Edit’s HQ to whittle down the best work from Australia and New Zealand that will then go on to throw down at the global finale. Joining them will be CHEP Network’s Gavin McLeod, Howatson+Company’s Gavin Chimes, Sarah McGregor from Dentsu, Cam Bell from The Monkeys part of Accenture Song, Paul Nagy from VMLY&R, FCB NZ’s Leisa Wall, Brent Smart from Telstra, Micah Walker from Bear Meets Eagle on Fire, ARC’s Jospher Perkins, The Sweetshop’s Kate Roydhouse and Lisa Dedyszyn from Special Group.

APAC MD Toby Hemming will be joining Matt on an agency tour, where the pair will also be hoping to dazzle with the brand new Little Black Book platform. With its joined up credits, the new site has turned LBB into the IMDB of advertising. The new design is built around you, the user, turning it into a truly empowering tool. 

And there will be plenty of time for fun too, with a packed schedule that includes the return of the ever-fabulous Hacks and Flacks drinks with the local comms and PR community. 

“It’s always a treat to visit Sydney - but this time I’m more excited than ever. The first ever in-person AUNZ Immortal Judging looks like it’s going to be lively and I can’t wait to see what the jury puts forward. And I won’t lie, we’re so proud of the new site that I will be showing it off to anyone who will listen,” says Matt. “Since I was last over, Toby, Tom and Casey have been working so hard to champion Australian and New Zealand creativity, turning them into two of the biggest markets for Little Black Book. What a time to celebrate!”
