How cool is that!
Posted by David Greiner on September 11, 2008 3:47 PM
Every country has their awards to aspire to. Whether it's the Inc 500, the Deloitte Fast 50 or the Golden Raspberry. One particular award I've admired since it launched a couple of years back is the Australian Cool Company award.
Presented by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Australian Anthill magazine (a favourite around the Freshview office) the awards focus on rewarding that hard to define concept of "cool". Here's their take on what that means...
Cool Companies manage to stay one step ahead of the rest. They breed leaders who are rule-makers and rule-breakers. They are organisations that aspire to be admired. They are trend-setters in attitude and action. Quite simply, they are cool.
Who wouldn't want to be described like that! On a whim, I entered Freshview a couple of months back, then forgot all about it. A few days ago I got an email thanking me for entering, and link to check out the 24 finalists for the 2008 award. Amazingly, Freshview has been nominated in not one, but two categories - online business, and global growth.
While most of our work is focused on markets overseas, it's awesome to see all the hard work our team has been putting in these past few years being recognised locally. Even if we don't take the award itself out, just knowing we're considered one of the 20 coolest companies in the country is good cool enough for me. The awards are announced September 25 at a ceremony in Melbourne. Wish us luck!

Well done David, Ben, Matt and all the team. You all deserve to be in the top cool companies in Australia. Not only are the Freshview products cool but so is the approach to customers and the approach to business in general. I will keep everything crossed for you!
