The Geelong Indy is going into its annual Christmas break on a high with an industry award for excellence.
The Indy’s 2017 Geelong Business Excellence Awards wrap-around won Best Advertising Feature for newspapers with circulations over 6000 at the 2018 Victorian Country Press Awards.
“The standard of entries was outstanding, so we’re rapt the judges recognised our business excellence awards feature as the year’s best,” said Indy managing editor Tony Galpin.
“We thank all of the local businesses and organisations whose support made it possible to produce such excellent coverage of the awards.”
Mr Galpin described 2018 as a “great year” for the Indy and sister publications Ocean Grove Voice, Geelong Coast magazine, Geelong Coast Kids, and Geelong Coast New Homes & Land.
“With our associated websites, E-publications and social media platforms, we have built a massive, loyal local audience. We look forward to ongoing strong growth in 2019.”
This will be the last edition of the Geelong Indy until Friday 11 January as the paper goes on a two-week break.
“Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year to all our readers and advertisers,” Mr Galpin said.
“See you in 2019.”
