MEDIA RELEASE: You don't have to be Google to be great

Embargoed until 30 April 2009

It’s not every day that a company with around 30 employees gets to be mentioned in the same breath as corporate heavyweights like Google, Coca-Cola, Yahoo!7 and Deloitte.

But that’s what Advanced Solutions International (Asia-Pacific), a software provider to the non-profit community, has achieved after today being named one of Australia’s 50 best companies to work for – despite having one of the smallest workforces on the list.

The list is compiled by the Great Place to Work (GPTW) Institute Australia, part of a US-based research and management consultancy that works with organisations in more than 40 countries and has been releasing the list in the United States for 10 years.

That’s until you learn Comic Relief’s Director of New Media, Martin Gill, turned digital media into a powerful fundraising, education and campaigning tool for the organisation in activities including Make Poverty History and LIVE 8.

And the foundation’s Fundraising and Marketing Director, Meredith Campbell, started Daffodil Day in Queensland, established multi-million dollar partnerships for Kids Help Line and co-founded an internet-based charity that runs adventures for women diagnosed with breast cancer and raised almost $1 million in its first four years.
