Palin Communications is proud to share that its creative duo Anastasiia Nazarenko and Tina Kandelaki, have been named one of just three public relations finalist teams in the Cairns Crocodiles 2026 CairnsHatchlings competition.
Cairns Hatchlings spotlights emerging creative talent from across Asia-Pacific, with Round One built around real briefs from charity and partner organisations before finalists head to Cairns for a live Round Two and the chance to tackle a brief from the United Nations Foundation.
What makes this especially exciting is the initiative and ambition behind it. Ana and Tina identified the opportunity, backed their thinking with research and developed a bespoke strategy together from the ground up. Their achievement reflects the kind of culture we are committed to building at the agency; one where people are encouraged to find opportunities, pursue them and push their creative thinking further.
The brief was for a not-for-profit organisation, an area where we have deep PR experience and where creative thinking can deliver real-world impact. We’re proud to see their ambition, collaboration and thinking recognised across the APAC region.
Huge congratulations Ana and Tina 👏 We’ll be cheering you on in Cairns.
