The Australian Magazine Awards (AMAs) provide Australian magazine publishers with the opportunity to be rewarded and recognised for their excellence. Since its launch in 2009 the awards have gone from strength to strength; and this morning saw the Awards championing a magazine’s overall brand instead of just its print offering.
Awards like Best launch/innovation/brand extension, Digital media brand of the year and Best use of multimedia by client were some of the categories introduced this year — showing a clear shift away from just print and placing a larger focus on digital and the consumer.
