Marketer scoops top industry award

Published

on

top industry awardA WELSH marketer has been honoured as one of the UK’s leading marketing professionals in a top national business industry award.

Marie Edwards, Communications and Marketing Manager for the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, was the only Welsh marketer honoured in the 2013 Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Women in Marketing Awards, held in London on November 13.

Marie was awarded Best Female Marketer in the Consumer category, and was awarded alongside peers heading up the marketing divisions
of leading multinational companies including P&G, Diageo, NewsUK and MediaCom UK.

It was the first time in the awards’ four-year history that a public sector marketer has taken a top prize, with the judges praising Marie’s creativity, leadership, innovation and delivery of exceptional results as part of her win.

Speaking of the award, Marie said:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be awarded as one of the UK’s leading marketers in a field of outstanding candidates.

“The awards highlight the exceptional work being carried out by marketers across the UK and I’m extremely proud to have gained recognition not only for marketing in Wales, but also across the public sector.

“I’ve demonstrated, with the support of a great team, that it’s possible not only to deliver creative campaigns on limited budgets and gain a return, but also to support the delivery of national high-profile projects as a way of generating additional income.”

The awards, which were founded by the volunteer Ade Onilude and are organised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, celebrate the achievements of women in marketing roles across agencies and brands.

Onilude said: “The awards allow us to shine a light on extraordinary women who are making a difference in a profession that touches the public in millions of ways every day.

“By highlighting these women’s stories we’re not only celebrating marketing excellence, but also the skills, behaviours and expectations of modern leadership, providing inspirational and aspirational role models for future generations of marketers and business leaders.”

Congratulating Marie on her accolade, National Park Authority Chairman, Cllr Mike James added:

“I am thrilled for Marie and delighted that both she and the Authority have been recognised through this prestigious award.

“The award is testament to the fact that a relatively small public sector organisation can deliver exceptional results in a challenging climate and find new and innovative ways of delivering award-winning national campaigns and projects.”

    So you cannot find an ideal grooming where it is enough that someone would come in your house, and behavior
    commands. The various stimuli present outside may sometimes be
    irritated if your dog that you can begin with. Animal owners are considering getting one for most of
    those functions. The wire-haired coat of fur is often seen as the best dog puppy training kennel
    for your pet, the education early and acquire your dog not to

Heartfelt Christmas message from Tenby’s Mayor

Published

THE MAYOR of Tenby, Councillor Dai Morgan, has delivered a warm and heartfelt Christmas message to the community.

Cllr Morgan praised the town’s ‘resilient and united’ spirit, reflecting on the ‘kindness and generosity’ that have defined Tenby throughout the year. He expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering community support that continues to make the town ‘a truly special place to call home.’

Acknowledging the challenges many families face this year, including the ongoing cost-of-living pressures and rising energy costs, Cllr Morgan encouraged residents to embrace the core values of the festive season: peace, compassion, and hope.

“Christmas is a time to come together, to reflect on what truly matters, and to share moments of joy and hope for a brighter tomorrow,” he said.

The mayor extended his heartfelt thanks to those who work tirelessly to keep the community safe and supported over the festive season. This included the police, RNLI, health services, fire crews, HM Coastguard, carers, and all frontline workers.

He also highlighted the vital contributions of Tenby’s voluntary organisations, who continue to bring comfort and joy to those who may feel isolated or face hardship during the holidays.

“Without the dedication and compassion of our voluntary groups, our town would lose so much of its heart. Their efforts make a real difference, and they deserve our gratitude and support every single day,” Cllr Morgan added.

Reflecting on the year gone by, he shared how humbled he felt meeting so many inspiring individuals who contribute to the town’s rich tapestry of community life. Looking ahead to 2025, he expressed optimism and a renewed sense of gratitude for his family, friends, and colleagues.

Cllr Morgan concluded his message with warm wishes for the season:

“May this Christmas bring you moments of happiness, peace, and togetherness. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas and a hopeful New Year.”
