Thursday Plantation winner of CMA Award!
The 2019 winner of the CMA Judge’s choice award was the well known and loved Australian brand, Thursday Plantation, a long standing client of Paykel Media for their new essential oil Roll-Ons. In the highly cluttered healthcare industry it is hard for a brand to stand out from its competitors (which is where a killer media strategy comes into play).
