Shift72 is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as this year’s Waikato Chamber of Commerce Business Awards winner for Marketing.  

The Marketing Award recognises businesses that show an outstanding example of a marketing project where research was used to validate performance.  After months of research and dozens of festival director interviews, the Shift72 team produced, How to Market a Film Festival: From A to VOD.  The guide is a festival focused initiative that aims to provide strategies and tactics – both virtual and non-virtual – that will drive awareness and create a potentially new segment of customers in each of their regional markets.

“I'm incredibly proud of this team for winning the Marketing Award at the Waikato Chamber of Commerce Business Awards,” said Damian Bartolomucci – Head of Growth Marketing at Shift72.  “The award is a testament to the great leadership, work, and culture of the SHIFT72 organisation as well as the tremendous commitment and support from our clients, the chamber of commerce, and the community that continues to lift us.”

Thank you to the team at Waikato Chamber of Commerce for hosting an incredible event, to our judges - former Novotel GM Dick Breuknik and Tompkins Wake partner Scott Ratuki – on recognising the team’s efforts, and to the leadership at Shift72 for continuing to trust and enable this team to experiment, learn, and grow.
