Whether it’s helping “unfuck” the environment with simple, effective work or making your Grandma laugh, Tom Wenborn excels at both. Named Best of the Best Indie Creatives by B&T, he’s recognised for a collaborative philosophy that backs ideas with confidence and treats every partnership with respect and equality. That’s our Tom. Well done. https://lnkd.in/gNQgmvTP

A lovely night at the AGDA Design Awards Ceremony last week. We celebrated a Distinction in the Design For Good category for Lifeline Australia Christmas Cards and a Merit in the Brand & Identity category for Hort Innovation Avo-Can-Do. Fantastic job to our tinkers, thinkers, squads, and clients. Beautifully done.

It’s old news that music can lift your creative toolkit. But what’s often been missing is hard proof that music doesn’t just move hearts, it moves the bottom line. Gerry Cyron, our Executive Head Brand Thinker, chats with B&T. Head a read, and keep your eyes peeled for Tooheys (Lion) and Menulog at the ARIA - Australian Recording Industry Association Awards this Wednesday night. https://lnkd.in/gMhHfWkC

Last Wednesday we headed along to The Marketing Academy 2025 Graduation Night. It was a great evening celebrating all the incredible work this year’s cohort has put in, and giving thanks to the brilliant support from TMA, the mentors, and partners. We’re really proud to work alongside The Marketing Academy and this year’s inspiring cohort, including our very own Laura. When we joined as a partner, we wanted to recognise one of the elements that makes The Marketing Academy world-class with the introduction of the Mentor of the Year Award. This year’s winner was Jenni Dill, a well-deserved recognition for being a pillar of support and inspiration within The Marketing Academy for the past 10 years. Roll on next year!

Happy Friday internet friends!! Welcome to the self love edition. If you're in need of a little self esteem lift this afternoon, put those tootsies up and scroll on through, because not only are we validating your favourite (legal) vice, we're also helping you feel better about your poor photography skills AND teaching you how to flaunt your sexiness. We've also got a hella funky photo series rec revealing the insides of teenagers’ bedrooms (oooh!!), a WHY article on the reason we bother with etiquette when talking to a literal machine and more. So get a cup of hot choc, block out the surrounding noise of your coworkers or family members and dive on in. Lots of love, your WEIRDOs xxxx

If you’ve ever left a chat with Margie Reid feeling a bit braver, this will make perfect sense. B&T has named her one of their Best of the Best Mentors and we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. From the care she shows our people, to the work she does with initiatives like Inclusively Made, The Marketing Academy and Youngbloods, she spends so much of her time growing the people and the industry around her. Well done, Margie. https://lnkd.in/gBxfGwff

We just scored at Clio Sports (The Clios)! From an anthem that had NSW singing, to boots that gave Queensland the home advantage - Tooheys A New State Anthem picked up Silver and Bronze, and XXXX Home Soil took home Silver. Well done to our friends at Lion, PUMA Group, Queensland Rugby League, UM Worldwide, Sonar Music, and Mojo. Cheers to that!
