It was a big night at the HSMAI Adrian Awards for Quinn & Co., as we celebrated Tourism Queensland’s Best of Show Public Relations win for Best Job In The World.

The blockbuster campaign swept last night’s black tie awards gala. Q&C took home two golds for our work – one for the Reuters exclusive that triggered Best Job’s media explosion around the world, and another for a feature segment on ABC’s “World News Tonight” covering the announcement of Ben Southall as Island Caretaker.

All of us at the Quinn & Co. table stood up and cheered when it came time to announce Best of Show, excited and proud once again to be a part of the Best Job juggernaut.

Afterward, Quinn & Co. president Florence Quinn, Quinn & Co. executive vice president John Frazier and I joined Tourism Queensland’s regional director for the Americas Shana Pereira for celebratory drinks at NYC’s Marriott Marquis hotel.

In reflecting on the whirlwind journey we’ve all experienced with Best Job, we talked about something that’s a big part of our culture here at Quinn & Co. – the power of visioning.

Shana said it was our great passion for working with an Australian client that made us Tourism Queensland’s choice for Best Job’s North American launch. It had been a dream of mine for years to have an Aussie client, and everyone at Quinn & Co. rallied behind me to help make that dream become a reality.  Last night was a great reminder that when you work hard and have a vision, amazing things can happen.

A special shoutout to Laura Davidson of LDPR who got the ball rolling by recommending us to Tourism Queensland.  Thanks, Laura!
