Redhotblue Selected For National Award

The team at one of Mackay’s longest standing creative agencies has been selected as a finalist at the Australian Women’s Small Business Champions Awards which is due to take place in Sydney next week.

Redhotblue’s owner and founder, Jody Euler, says she is thrilled to have been selected to become a finalist, especially because there were 2,500 entries for the prestigious marketing category.

“It’s wonderful that a regional business has been selected,” said Jody.

“I feel really proud for us as at redhotblue but also proud that a regional business has been recognised as a finalist amongst national agencies – we could be up against people from Sydney or Melbourne which is amazing!”

Jody said the application process was “gruelling” and also very thorough with evidence of campaigns and extensive explanations required.

Each application is then independently examined using objective criteria to ensure an unbiased, merit-orientated decision process.

The Australian Small Business Champion Awards originated in 1999 to recognise the achievements of outstanding small businesses from all states and territories across Australia.

This is the first year, however, that the Women’s awards have been launched to acknowledge the women who are contributing, influencing and leading their sectors and industries.

“It will be amazing!” said Jody.

“It would be nice if we took it out, but you just don’t know who you’re up against.

“Either way, we are incredibly excited to be part of it.”

The Gala Dinner takes place in Sydney on Saturday November 12 and a small team from redhotblue will be flying down to the red-carpet event.
