Lizzies 25: Best Media Relations

Announcement posted by Influencing 21 Mar 2025

Very pleased to be able to share with you the finalists for this year's David Hellaby Best Media Relations award: a unique recognition presented to public relations practitioners at the Samsung Australian IT Journalism Awards.

 

Journalists who entered the Awards are asked to name the public relations professionals who best supported them in their roles during the prior year.

 

The number of votes received, and the rationales provided, are used to name a list of finalists across consumer technology, business technology and gaming, with representation across in-house, small and large agencies.

 

I'm pleased to report a record number of responses, and names, were submitted this year. This speaks to the true value of collaboration across journalism and media relations in Australia. 

 

The finalists for the David Hellaby Best Media Relations Awards are:
 

Andrea Acton, Microsoft

Clare Corbel, Nintendo
Salvatore Di Muccio, Well Above
Ayla Fitzgibbon, WE Communications

Mikey Foley, Five Star Games
Doug Johns, POWER UP
Pru Quinlan, Einsteinz Communications
Maddie Waddington, DEC PR

Matthew Wu, AWS
David Wolf, Closer Communications.

 

Congratulations to all our finalists, and to the more than 50 other media relations professionals who were mentioned and nominated by journalists. It really speaks to the depth of talent in industry  - well done everyone.
