Nine’s Laura Balsarini and Richard Cram named Initiative Media Partners of the Year
Over 100 of Perth’s best media and industry partners gathered at the Claisebrook Design Community last Friday for Initiative’s annual Media Partner of the Year Event. The award, now in its fifth year celebrates the support and brilliant work produced by Initiatives media partners.
Earlier in the day Initiative hosted an adrenaline-fuelled experience for each of the monthly winners from 2016. This year the group were given the opportunity to go indoor skydiving at iFly before joining the party in the evening.
Guests waited in anticipation for the announcement of the 2016 winner, presented by Initiative Australia CEO Melissa Fein and Mediabrands CEO Danny Bass.
“It’s fantastic to see so many of our media partners together, and celebrating another year of amazing work through Initiative,” said Fein. “We’re so proud of the Perth team at Initiative and their wonderful work, made possible through the great support and excellent relationships of the Perth media. Thank you so much.”
The 2016 Media Partner of the Year winner was awarded jointly to Laura Balsarini and Richard Cram from Nine Entertainment Co. (pictured above with Fein centre).
