The state winners of the 2022 Telstra Business Awards were announced last week covering eight categories. Whilst missing out on the top accolade, social enterprise and digital agency Just Gold, founded by Greek Australian Kyriakos Gold, was named a Victorian finalist in the category ‘Accelerating Woman’, as a business that excels and is actively challenging exclusion and inequality to create meaningful and lasting equity for women.
Just Gold was selected from a list of over 24,000 nominated businesses by expert judges, for the ‘accelerating women’ category, as an enterprise shaping Australia’s economic, social and cultural prosperity.
With a vision that sprung 10 years ago, today Kyriakos Gold is leading a disruptive social enterprise that combines a full-service consultancy and creative agency, engaging a network of professionals who understand the needs of minorities and empowers them to design their own solutions, without relying on traditional structures and outdated models, under the vision of a fair world where everyone has access to opportunity and information. Just Gold predominantly works with organisations, Government, businesses, and other social enterprises to deliver strategic communications, production and creative commercial solutions while enhancing their ethical footprint.
With that principle at its core Just Gold’s employees are 80 per cent women including leaders in the education sector while it also offers internship opportunities to like-minded students from across the country working as an industry partner with RMIT University and the University of Adelaide.
