Melbourne, Australia, - 29 October 2025 - 3 Phase Marketing (3PM) is honoured to announce its selection as a "Best Place to Work" finalist in the Agency Business category of The Drum Awards Festival 2025, one of the most prestigious global celebrations of marketing and creative excellence. The agency's entry, "Culture Without Cubicles: How 3PM Built a High-Performing, Fully Remote Agency Where People and Purpose Thrive," has been shortlisted in the "Best Place to Work" category alongside some of the world's leading agencies.
The Drum Awards Festival recognises outstanding agencies, brands, and campaigns that demonstrate innovation, impact, and excellence across the marketing industry. For 3PM, this nomination represents more than industry acknowledgment. It affirms a core belief that has driven the agency since its inception: remote doesn't mean distant. Connection, collaboration, and continuous growth are not only possible across time zones and geographies; they can flourish.
"This recognition validates everything we've built together as a team," said Tamara Alaveras, Managing Director and Co-Founder of 3 Phase Marketing. "We've proven that you can create a high-performing agency culture without physical offices, and that prioritising people and purpose leads to exceptional work and genuine fulfilment."
The "Best Place to Work" finalist placement opens significant doors for 3PM, amplifying the agency's visibility across the Asia-Pacific region and globally while positioning it as a thought leader in modern, remote-first workplace culture. As a finalist among international peers, 3PM is motivated to continue improving processes, investing in people, and evolving systems that support both remote performance and well-being.
The winners of The Drum Awards Festival 2025 (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) will be revealed during the Festival week from November 17-20, 2025. Until then, 3PM invites its entire community of team members, clients, partners, and supporters to celebrate this milestone together and help amplify the story of remote-first agency success.
"This achievement belongs to everyone who has contributed to building 3PM," added Sonia Majkic, CEO and Co-Founder of 3 Phase Marketing. "Our team, our clients who trust us, our partners who collaborate with us. This is a shared success. And we want everyone to celebrate with us."
