In one way or another, Marsha Dearden Communications (MDC) has been involved with the South Australian Tourism Awards for more than 25 years. Principal, Marsha Dearden-Cadd, has been a State and National tourism awards judge since the mid-90s, and was Chair of the SA Judging Panel for four years until handing over to current Chair, Michael Geddes. During that time, Marsha presided over the change from ‘hard copy’ submissions to on-line presentation and judging with both entrants and judges.
MDC achieved significant success in the 2021 SA Tourism Awards creating two Category Winning Submissions and a Bronze submission. That was three medal winners from three submissions.
In addition we created a Category Winning Submission in the 2021 WA Tourism Awards.
MDC colleagues are also experienced submission writers and have judged state, national and international awards in many industries, including advertising/communication, design, wine, public relations, real estate and hospitality.

One-on-One mentoring
