The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA)  has appointed The Big Boutique to secure sponsorship partners for its annual film and television awards.

Melbourne based sales agency The Big Boutique will secure sponsors across an exclusive range of categories for the upcoming 2015 televised major events and year round program.

The AACTA Awards, considered by many as the nation’s equivalent to the American Oscars and the British BAFTAs, was launched by the Australian Film Institute (AFI) in 2011.

The peer-assessed AACTA Awards recognise excellence in the film and television industry, including producers, directors, actors, costume design, production design, cinematography, music composition and writers.
