BREAKING: All Star Bash Winners Revealed

Power Retail By Power Retail | 21 Feb 2020

It’s one of the biggest nights in Australian online retail, and the 2020 All Star Bash did not disappoint. Find out the full list of winners, as well as the biggest highlights of the evening.

Held on Thursday night at Crown Palladium, more than 650 of the industry’s best and brightest gathered to celebrate the achievements in Australian online retail for the year.

The night began with sports broadcasters and hosts Hamish McLachlan and Sam Lane taking the stage. Among some of the guests to the event included THE ICONIC, Showpo, Catch, Bunnings Warehouse and many others.

For the fourth year running, Woolworth nabbed the #1 Online Retailer award. Woolworths has been a part of Australia’s supermarket duopoly for almost a century and continues to dominate. In 2019, the cross-channel chain has come out on top – ranking highly for acquisition, fulfilment, customer retention and conversions. In November 2019 the supermarket chain announced the introduction of its delivery subscription service, which has bolstered online sales, and its ‘Delivery Now’ service, which rivals Uber Eats in the grocery category.

Baxter Blue took out the top spot for the Online Emerging Online Retailer award, THE ICONIC came out on top as the Top Fashion Retailer and Flora & Fauna made waves as the Top Sustainable Retailer.

2020 saw the introduction of a few new award categories, including the All Star Legends awards, dedicated to the leaders of the e-commerce industry who have changed the game in more than one way. This year, Power Retail awarded this prestigious title to Tony Nash, the CEO and Founder of Booktopia and Kate Morris, the CEO and Founder of Adore Beauty.

    Finally an awards process that is based on a meaningful set of objective criteria! Having the most hits does not make you the best online retailer – it can only be judged taking into account multiple factors. Every winner deserved to win, and every finalist should be congratulated. Can’t wait to see the 2021 winners.
