Article Featured Image

Creators, artists, business innovators and societal game-changers – the best of the best of Malta’s online movers were celebrated in the Lovin Malta Social Media Awards 2021 powered by Dragonara Casino, and it all came to a close at the official SMAs Afterparty and Keune Black Carpet Event last Sunday.

Featuring everyone from the islands’ biggest fitness gurus like Denise Gafa and radio/online fiends Nate, Frank & Rossi, to the mind-boggling talents of international superstars like Marama Corlett, the islands’ brightest and up and coming stars came dressed to the nines for a celebration of those in the online space, set to the gorgeous backdrop of the Valletta skyline at Tigné Point’s Chophouse Restaurant.

Kicking off with a livestream, the Keune Black Carpet saw local content superstar and SMAs 2021 Overall Content Creator winner Sarah Zerafa interviewing each of our awardees. Dressed in a stunning Charles & Ron dress, we got soundbites on their work this year, what it means to receive the award, and their plans for the future.

Self-titled resident SJW and expressionless in-house Head of Internal Marketing. Matt loves prepping vegan and vegetarian food, consumes way too much coffee, and has an unhealthy penchant for storyboarded Instagram Stories. When he's not trying to figure out social media policies, marketing strategies or cracking SEO conundrums, you can catch him as the host of Basically, Livestream Of Consciousness or Lovin Daily. Hit him up if you've got a story about the environment, arts and culture, health, politics and activism, or LGBTQI+ issues. He's also a doctor, but we don't talk about that.
