Let’s face it, the battle between Sydney and Melbourne isn’t ending any time soon. Currently, the facet of this state-off receiving the most attention is restaurants, bars, chefs and everything in between. Before you nod off- assuming this is one of those generic Sydney-versus-Melbourne-rants, not to worry. Instead, let’s put the knives away and take Read more…
Just like fashion, the food industry is fickle with its ever-changing trends. To keep you up to date on what’s hot – from Chang to chooks – read on… 1. HIDE AND EAT The more exclusive and secretive the restaurant or bar, the better. It’s all about drinking and dining venues located inside existing venues. Read more…
A couple of weeks ago we attended the Networx 2013 marketing trends panel discussion to get the low down on what might be big next year in the world of marketing. The main take outs were that technology and social media will continue to evolve and heavily influence our work with new channels creating even Read more…
One of the trends we’ve been watching carefully is gamification. At ad:tech both this year and last, gaming was identified as one of the most important and powerful engagement opportunities available to brands with mind-boggling user growth stats.

I’m not very good at long-term predictions but I’m so good at short-term predictions sometimes I wonder if I’m psychic. For instance, I can predict that my boyfriend won’t have done the washing up because he’s probably spent most of the day doing this.
