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).

How are brands recognised for their out of the box, innovative products? In the complementary medicine sector, the CMA have this covered. From time to time, the CMA panel receives an outstanding nomination for a specific business product or idea that they just cannot look past. These particular businesses are acknowledged with the Judges Choice award for products the CMA board feel deserve recognition within the sector.
