We are thrilled to announce that Sitecore has recognised us for the second consecutive year as an Enterprise Solution Partner at the Platinum level!

Sitecore has awarded us this global status for 2023 and 2024 as a result of our successful projects in the last year with clients such as Jetstar, University of Western Australia and Rawson Group. We have also received this status due to our expertise in Product Content Management (PCM) and Headless Content Delivery, enabling our clients to deliver excellent customer experiences in their market.

Retaining our Platinum Partner status is not an easy accomplishment, and holding it for a second year is a testament to our team’s excellent work. Sitecore also recognises us as the premier Sitecore Content Hub Specialist for ANZ, of which we have expanded our application support team and worked hard to attain more certifications.

We first received Platinum Partner status in September 2022 after becoming a Gold Partner in early 2020. We look forward to further fostering this partnership and supporting our current and future customers.

Last year, we wrote about what it means to be a Sitecore Platinum Partner. We recommend reading that blog for more information on what makes Creative Folks stand out.

Creative Folks is excited to be a Gold Sponsor at the upcoming Sitecore DX 2023 Sydney conference on September 12th at Allianz Stadium. As the APAC region's first-ever Sitecore Content Hub specialist partner, we are proud of our collaborative journey with Sitecore and continue delivering innovative and integrated content solutions for our customers.

This year's event is about enhancing digital experiences through agile, scalable content solutions. It is not one to miss if you are a business leader who wants to achieve more with your content and enhance customer experiences with your brand.

Here at Creative Folks, we have a longstanding history of passionately pushing the content capabilities of our customers and integrating systems and applications to enable them to achieve more with less. We will be showcasing Sitecore Content Hub solutions for headless content delivery that enables dynamic and personalised content at scale, as well as how we can integrate Digital Asset Management and Product Content Management into your business and technology ecosystems using the SiPHON Platform.

We encourage you to come along and speak with us at our booth about your own challenges and how we can help you solve them.

Our CEO, Andrew Lomas, will be on-site and teaming up with Sitecore's own Director of Solution Engineering ANZ, Michael Wingert, to deliver a breakout session about 'Creating Dynamic & Personalised Content at Scale' that will dive into how headless content delivery might be the answer to your company’s content problems. 

The event is free to attend but may hold priceless insights that guide your business toward meeting modern customer expectations and delivering personalised, high-quality content at scale.

This is the third year that the Henry Stewart team have specifically tailored their leading DAM event for the Asia Pacific audience and timezone.

As 2022 comes to a close, we would like to thank all our customers and partners; we have enjoyed working alongside you this year. We want to inform you of our holiday closing period for December 2022 and January 2023.

In our short time working with the Sitecore Partner Network, we have completed a lot of great work together as their premier Sitecore Content Hub Specialist for ANZ. During our strong partnership, we have designed and deployed Content Hub solutions for customers seeking to upgrade their content operations, adapt to changes in omnichannel content publishing and deliver enhanced customer experiences in their market.

In July of 2021, we received the honour of being nominated for the Excellence in Solution Delivery award. Whilst we did not win the award, the nomination was a great achievement because it recognised solution partners that stand out in their region as world-class Content Hub providers and highlighted our contribution to the preservation Digital Asset Management project at The Australian Ballet.

As part of our commitment to educating the market on content transformation, we co-hosted a series of roundtable meetings in 2021 alongside Sitecore, where I answered the question, ‘Why are omnichannel content platforms a logical necessity?’ The event focused on the changes to content management that arose during the first year of the pandemic and how structuring content in a modular way can deliver more scalable and efficient content delivery and personalisation.

Creative Folks initially became a Sitecore Gold Partner in early 2020. Around the same time, we became ANZ's first Sitecore Content Hub specialist. Now, we are proud to announce that we have become a Sitecore Platinum Partner. But what precisely does this mean?

The second event tailored to the APAC region.

I was recently announced as Chair of the DAM Asia-Pacific 2022 online event for the second consecutive year.

In the lead-up to the event, I sat down with Henry Stewart's Head of Marketing, Milly Louch, to discuss all things Digital Asset Management (DAM).

We are delighted to announce that Creative Folks will partner with Henry Stewart Events for the Digital Asset Management (DAM) Asia-Pacific Event, the leading virtual event in the APAC Digital Asset Management calendars. 

The giving season is upon us once again! After the awful run our fellow Aussies in regional areas have had to endure in recent times - fires, floods, plagues and the pandemic - we at Creative Folks HQ are in the spirit of giving back and supporting those who need it most.
