But what makes a company “cool”? According to Anthill founder James ‘Wild Thang’ Tuckerman, “cool” companies are “remarkable” companies.
In other words, they are worthy of being talked about.
“They can be amazing, innovative, one-of-a-kind,” said Tuckerman. “They can be all those things. But what sets cool companies apart is that they are, by their very nature, worthy of being ‘remarked’ about.”
The “Circus Carnival” themed night, held at the Masque Bar in South Melbourne, Victoria, crowned winners across 11 categories.
