Coolest Australian company growing globally

Posted by David Greiner on September 29, 2008 2:53 PM

A couple of weeks back I mentioned that we'd been named finalists for the Australian Cool Company awards. At a glitzy ceremony at PricewaterhouseCoopers HQ in Melbourne on Thursday night we were honored to take out the award for their global growth category.

When you consider these awards cover all industries across the entire country, that's very humbling stuff.

As I mentioned when accepting the award, you can't be a cool company without a cool team behind you, so a big shout out to the Freshview team for making this happen. As well as our team, the judges were also impressed by some of the great companies like Apple, Facebook and Twitter using our software for their email marketing. Maybe we earned some cool points by association.

The prize itself was an awesome black 5'11'' swallow tail surfboard, which we'll be hanging proudly in the office. There are a few surfers in the Freshview team, so we might need to bolt it on so it doesn't go missing.

Congrats should also go to our clever friends (and customers) over at RedBubble for taking out two other awards on the night. Great stuff guys!
