The challenge was to launch a new night spot within the heart of the Sydney CBD already crowded with funky bars. To make it even more difficult the bar is located within the club premises of 99 on York. The stigma attached with clubs not being cool was the major hurdle. The brief was to increase female clientele to a [...]

What happened to global warming?

What happened to global warming?

Are you sitting down? Considering we’re in the middle of an election campaign and Julia Gillard (if elected) will assemble a climate change committee consisting of you, me and dupree, I found this very interesting bit of information. Since the 100 or so chosen ones will be making one of the most important decisions in recent times I thought it be [...]


Social media…the importance of being active.

Social media...the importance of being active.

Our current marketing team includes an evangelist, Rowan. His job is to be active and spread our message in the communities — both real and virtual. He tweets regularly with service [...]


The irrelevant corporate website.

The irrelevant corporate website.

What is a corporate website? It’s the domain you use after every advertisement where you can learn more about a company. You know it, yourcompany.com But we’re tired of the corporate website and all its happy marketing speak. Stock photos of smart looking dudes or minority women crowded around the computer raving about your product. 
The positive press release, the [...]


OnQue’s creative workspace.

OnQue's creative workspace.

After working in a bunch of agencies over the years where each workspace was very predictable, I found the OnQue workspace to be a breath of fresh air. After all, an agency environment should say a lot about the personality, character and nature of the people who work there. One look around the OnQue workspace immediately says you are working with [...]

Can introducing fun change people’s behavior?

Can introducing fun change people's behavior?

The team at Volkswagen created a site dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. The theory was that it could be for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different. The only thing that mattered was that it would be a change for the better. The [...]

I’m addicted and i'm lovin' it!

I can’t help it. I’ve become an addict! I’d seek help but I think my addiction is helping me. No…I’m not talking gob smackingly beautiful red wine, foreign substances or even whacky tobaccy. I must confess…it’s a website that just makes you feel great. It’s called TED. If you haven’t found it already it’s a site with riveting talks by remarkable people [...]


Explosive crunch of an apple.

Explosive crunch of an apple.

I have always been really picky about apples. That first bite should be an explosive crunch that fills your mouth with apple juice. Until recently there is just one apple that I haven’t really been a fan of at all. Apple Mac. But I have seen the light and in a few months I have been converted. My MacBook Pro was my [...]

“I haven't got time to write a brief but i need you to give me a budget and start work”

The biggest waste of both agency and client resources is all parties trying to develop a solution without a concrete direction….a brief. It’s understandable that clients wish to get to the starting line as fast as possible but sloppy briefing and moving the goal posts wastes everyone’s time and money. All too often clients often use the creative process to clarify their [...]


Do you agree with companies blocking access to social networks?

Do you agree with companies blocking access to social networks?

A mate of mine was complaining the other day that his company had blocked all access to social networks including YouTube.  They kind of missed the mark because all of their employees carry mobiles and many of them had access to YouTube regardless of the block. Whoops! eMarketer estimate that by 2013, 43% of global mobile internet users (607 million people)  [...]

What's your favourite social media campaign?

I’m not really a fan of Starbuck’s coffee, but I am a huge fan of their the back to basics approach to rebuild a business that was literally on its knees. The founder of the business Howard Schultz became re-involved in the business at a grass roots level. He was understandably disappointed with the train wreck that his business had become. His [...]
