Digital Communication Award
32
Erin Thomas Wong started her first business 12 years ago when her son was born. Since then she has built five businesses while bringing up her two sons, and now mentors and supports hundreds of women as they grow and scale their own businesses around family life. Erin’s built her community online as she recognised that many women didn’t have access to in-person networking and business support, so she wanted to create a space where women could log in from anywhere around the world and feel connected, heard and understood. In winning the Digital Communication Award, Erin said: “I was absolutely thrilled to be recognised by SWIB and Em-Power for the work I do online. I’ve always believed that it’s possible to create real relationships in an online setting and I work hard to create a safe space to nurture those connections. Who knew that in 2020 this would be more important than ever. Winning the award was huge in terms of my visibility and a great opportunity for me to shout about what I do and how I can help.”
