Hope 2025 was a cracker for you, too. Take care and see you next year!
Be on the lookout for an old fat dude….
Well, that was a bat-shit crazy year if I ever did see one. And I’ve seen 54 of the things now. To top it off….. An old fat guy is apparently going to be breaking into houses over Christmas time. He mainly works at night. He’s even got a list of people/places he’ll break into. […]

Typo? No Buy-o. Why Spelling Still Matters in Marketing (Even in 2025)
You’d think in a world of autocorrect, AI, and 14-year-olds who write better than most CEOs, spelling mistakes would be extinct. Spoiler: they’re not. Case in point – a client recently came to us after looking to purchase a piece of industrial equipment. Selling for $1.5 million. He told me he had concerns about the […]
New mobile bike mechanic on Gold Coast makes me feel old

How King Charles almost copped me a massive fine
With King Charles 3rd now on the throne, here’s a little story about how he gave me one heck of a headache for days. One of the challenges of running a full-service ad agency is the need to be across every single detail. Details like during the Commonwealth Games, knowing where your mobile billboards can […]
A Marathon Effort With Great Results
For quite a few years, we created and managed the website for the Gold Coast Marathon. This was “back in the day” – 1999 – the very first time the event had a website. It has been wonderful to see the progression of technology enhancing the athlete’s experience, along with supporters. Back in 1999… …..Fast […]
