What a weekend. I’ve just come back from three packed days in Newcastle with close to 100 agency and client partners from across Australia. ACM brought everyone together for the ACM Upclose and delivered an experience that hit every mark.
The hospitality was generous. The planning was sharp. The connections were real. Our team felt valued from the moment we arrived.
You saw the strength of regional journalism. You heard how ACM keeps communities informed and connected through local reporters on the ground. You saw the reach of engaged regional audiences and the value they deliver for businesses and brands alike.
Highlights included:
•✨ A warm VIP welcome that set the tone.
• ✨Time with people who shape media across the country.
• ✨Clear insights into the impact of ACM’s powerhouse regional network.
• ✨A day at the Newcastle Herald Hunter Race Day that was fun and full of energy.
•✨ Plenty of conversations that will turn into meaningful opportunities.
A big thank you to Tony, Sam, Daniel, Sarah, Sally, F***y and the full ACM team. You created an outstanding experience that showcased the best of Regional Australia and the power of meaningful partnerships.
Grateful that was part of it - Thank you again
