Financial Standard announces their #FS POWER 50
November 25, 2013 – The Financial Standard Power 50 was announced last week at an event hosted by Financial Standard and principle sponsor Zurich at the Gowings Bar & Grill in Sydney.
The #FS Power 50 is a list of the fifty most impressive social media activists in the Financial Services sector. The list is a combination of individuals who have distinguished themselves as shining lights in the digital world. They are the innovators, influencers and communicators who combine clout and class to take centrestage in the Financial Services discussion in Australia.
The list was adjudicated by a panel led by Financial Standard Head of Media and Publisher Michelle Baltazar, “We were looking for digital activists that cut through the discussions and added value to their audiences. Our thinking was that the Power 50 needed to be both the effective vectors of content and interesting conversationalists.”
Commenting on the list’s launch, Financial Services Council senior policy manager and Power 50 member Cecilia Storniolo said, “Congratulations to Financial Standard on the publication of #FSPower50 which celebrates the power and benefits of leveraging social media to connect the connected within the world of financial services. I’m honoured to be named amongst them.”
The Power 50 are showcased in a print guide with a complimentary online version available at www.financialstandard.com.au/fspower50.
