MAG Gains Recognition

The Marketing in Asia Group is continuing to gain recognition – this time with a special mention at this month’s Convocation Medal for Professional Excellence ceremony at Australia’s University of Newcastle.

The awards are regarded as a top Australasian alumni honour and recognise a graduate of the university with an outstanding record of professional excellence in leadership, knowledge and professional practice.

Mentions such as these are critical to MAG as we seek to grow interest, connections and influence, and from this our members’ understanding, practical excellence, and opportunities for research and engagement. With the depth of capability of our members, I suspect we’ll be seeing many more.I take great pride in being shortlisted as one of the four finalists for the Medal. It was a most wonderful surprise to have been nominated. Although I wasn’t the overall winner – which didn’t surprise me! – I was very proud of how this reflected on our group. At the awards ceremony it was noted how I had helped establish the Marketing in Asia Group in 2007, and that now we had connections with more than 400 academics and practitioners from more than 35 countries. We are no small organisation now.
