Advisr Insurance Broker Awards 2023 | Winners Announcement

Winners Announcement



Today, Advisr is thrilled to announce the winners in the Advisr Insurance Broker Awards 2023. Thank you to all who participated and for what you are doing in the Insurance Broking industry.

The Advisr Awards celebrate those insurance brokers and brokerages who are showing the industry how to build trust online. All of the award finalists have contributed immensely to the SME and insurance broking communities. Each day they make an effort to get alongside businesses via online channels, by creating and sharing insightful content, building customer reviews and maintaining a professional and active online profile. With contributions via TikTok, social media, email, the industry press or other innovative means, these brokers, ARs and businesses are making customer-focussed information about insurance easily available to Australian businesses. They have filmed videos, written articles, created podcasts, added insightful commentary to online discussion and been reviewed by their customers.

However, today's winners are those that push the boundaries, commit to turning up online regularly for Australia's businesses and generously share of their deep expertise in a way that is accessible and authentic. They are our industry's leaders in innovative and accessible communications, and are a model to hold up as a standard for brokers of today.


Congratulations to all the winners in the 2023 Advisr Insurance Broker Awards
