Carma Levene’s The Marketer Named National Finalist in NFP Category
The Marketer has been announced as a finalist in the Australian Marketing Institute’s NFP category nationally for the 2025 Season of Telethon Community Cinemas.
“The Community Cinemas are a joy to work with, and we’re currently planning my fourth season with the brand.”
Says Carma.
“The results were incredible. The client told me that it was going to be a tough year. Turned out we were 1.7% over last year’s figures – which had been the best season to date.”

This season had been so successful in fact that this isn’t the first accolade for the brand in 2025. Early in the year founder, Ken Gibbons, was awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual conference of Independent Cinemas Australia.
The 2025 season saw record attendance, 77, 281 attendees across the four locations, despite weather interruptions and economic pressure.
“It’ll be tough for us to win, there’s so much great work being celebrated in the category – but it’s a real honour to be in the mix”
She adds.
The award winners will be announced at an exclusive event in Sydney on the 15th of August at The Ivy.
The Marketer
Since taking The Marketer reigns solo this year, Levene has moved her marketing consultancy services under that banner, widely known for their event series, Grill The Marketer.
The Marketer recognised a gap in the market for a west coast perspective in marketing publishing and an appetite for a different kind of networking.
The Marketer provides marketing and consulting services to agencies and clients looking for experienced operators that drive results and are allergic to jargon.
