2021 has been a fantastic year in the life of Social Broker, and we can't wait to see what the next 12-months holds. We certainly don't do it for the accolades, but we're delighted nonetheless to be the industry's most-awarded marketing agency. Here's a roundup of formal industry awards we've received this year:
2021 Startup of the Year
Australian Digital Technology Awards
Momentum Media
The Australian Digital Technology Awards recognise
We were thrilled to be ranked 6th in amongst the industry's cream of the crop, and awarded us 2021 Startup of the Year (Mortgages).
2021 Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist
Women in Finance Awards
Momentum Media
Our Co-founder Sarah Barnett has been recognised as a finalist in the Entrepreneur of the Year category of the Women in Finance Awards.
The finance industry - and entrepreneurism more broadly - has typically been male-dominated, but is gradually changing to be more reflective of the communities we serve.
Diverse experiences create diverse thinking, which can only be a good thing - and part of why here at Social Broker we've gone with a 50:50 gender split in our exec team.
A hearty congratulations to all the finalists, especially our clients across broking, advice, accounting and law.
2021 Best Industry Service Excellence Awardee
Australian Mortgage Awards
Key Media
Industry services play an extremely important role within the mortgage industry. This award recognises the service provider that adds the most value to its customers' businesses. Eligible service providers include but are not limited to software and technology, legal, compliance, training and education. Lenders and aggregators are not eligible to enter this category. Finalists will be invited to provide supporting documentation for submission to the AMA judging panel.
When judging this category, the following criteria will be considered:
- service provider’s value proposition
- industry’s need for the service
- how the service has added value
- overall commitment of the organisation to its customers
We're proud to announce we've been recognised as Australia's leading startup in the mortgage industry in Momentum Media's Digital Technology Awards.
The award is a lovely pat on the back for us, especially given we only launched in 2020.
The Australian Digital Technology Awards were judged by a panel of respected industry professionals and business leaders, who considered the results of a brand performance survey (conducted between December 2020 and February 2021 to measure the usage, awareness, consideration, customer impact score and net promoter score for each company) and written submissions, which are combined to provide a “performance score”.
Momentum Media
Social Broker was ranked 6th in the Top 10 technology providers:
- Loan Market Group
- BrokerEngine
- Salestrekker
- Mortgage Choice
- FileInvite
- Social Broker
- ActivePipe
- MSA National
- Brokerpad
- HashChing
The submission to the judges outlined the key reasons Social Broker's social media content subscriptions are unrivalled:
- Completely 'done-for-you'
- Customised to your brand
- Fully compliant and researched
- 1/5 of what a traditional agency charges
We're looking forward to continuing to innovate our products and keep on delivering effective content marketing solutions to Australia's finance professionals.
We'd like to thank our valued clients, industry partners and our team. You're all instrumental to our growth, and ability to do what we do best: help educate more consumers on why it's worth engaging with a finance professional.
