Creative agency Run Aotearoa is proud to announce account manager, Hareta Tiraa-Passfield, has been named as a finalist in the B&T 30 under 30 Awards 2024.
From more than 200 contenders, Hareta is included in the Agency Sales/Account Manager category alongside 11 other finalists, and is the only person in this category from Aotearoa New Zealand.
The B&T 30 under 30 Awards are hotly anticipated in the advertising, media, and marketing industries and showcase the very best young talent working in Australasia, with judges noting the standard this year was incredibly high.
Tiraa-Passfield says, “Being acknowledged is a testament to the collective efforts of the Run team supporting my career journey. It’s a celebration of our relentless pursuit of creative excellence, while driving change. It showcases that even as an indie agency, our contributions to the industry are just as valuable and transformative as those from the big network agencies”.
Run co-founder and design director Laura Cibilich says, “Hareta is doing a huge amount to help the industry move forward, particularly across diversity and inclusion as well as environmental stewardship. She’s a role model to young Māori and Pacific people, who are underrepresented in our industry, and isn’t afraid to strive for industry-wide impact.”
The exclusive awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 14 March at the Metro Theatre in Sydney.
