I love nothing better on the night than watching our members and their customers celebrate their success together,” commented Kellie Northwood, CEO, Print and Visual Communication Association.

Recovering from Covid restrictions, the Real Media Awards, has grown its reach over 2021 and 2022 and continues to seek growth in entries this year to once again reach the 650 entries achieved in 2019.

The event will be held at Aerial in South Wharf precinct Melbourne and a smaller New Zealand event recognising industry leadership across the channel. “Each year we are seeing more and more entrants tell us a story of their success, the journey their campaigns have taken and the results that have been achieved using print, it is a wonderful to see the success of marketing at work and we look forward to coming together to celebrate your success,” concluded Northwood.
