Further to my previous post, I’m SO grateful to have won the 2017 SA Best Photographic Blog award for my site naomiestment.com, on the heels of our years of blogging here at ovpimaging.com. You may be aware that this website won SA Best Photographic Blog in 2014, and was runner-up to Orms (“The Best Online Camera Store in South Africa”) in 2015 and 2016.
Since Dave and I decided at the beginning of last year to focus more fully on the practical aspects of our corporate and commercial business here at Outdoor Video & Photographic, while I’ve been expanding the online side of my business Naomi Estment International, it made sense to focus my blogging energy at naomiestment.com. Watch that space, as I’ll also soon be launching my online programs there to help visionary but camera-shy entrepreneurs and executives to boost their confidence on camera, optimise their personal branding photo and video shoots, and leverage these via effective visual marketing.
In the meantime, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who voted for me, especially the judges and all of you who inspire the content I share. Special thanks and shout out to the 2017 SA Blog Awards team and congrats to the other winners. It’s a particular honour to win the photographic category, being in the company of exceptional runners-up, namely Outdoor Photo (“Biggest camera shop in SA”) and Africa Far and Wide (“A visual journey into the Africa I know”), both of which feature brilliant content and beautiful images.
I also want to thank my phenomenal online mentor Marie Forleo for my scholarship to her B-School 2016, which has been a game-changer for my website, online platform and business, contributing to this award. Thanks a million Marie! If you’re looking for the best guidance available to launch and grow your online business, follow Marie and sign up for her B-School.
Big thanks also to Bernard van Rensburg of Up-Next Digital for his fantastic and tireless work in revamping my website, as he did for us on this website too . . . and last but FAR from least, HUGE thanks to Dave for supporting me every moment of every day, and for maintaining his energy and focus here at Outdoor Video & Photographic. We look forward to continuing to provide the best content we can to help you maximise the power of your marketing via expert photos and videos.
