Annual rivalry between the big retailers continues between Myer and David Jones, Big W and Kmart, Dan Murphy’s, Vintage Cellars, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Harvey Norman and Freedom while the boutique Retailers stomp their hard earnt territory demonstrating retail marketing strategy and brand positioning is not limited to the big players alone. Each entry is judged based on the merits of effectiveness and campaign success.

We always look forward to celebrating with the entire industry on the night and this year in a bigger venue will be very exciting,” concluded Northwood.
