Gentlemint – Pinterest for Men only
I’ve been using Pinterest now for only a few weeks and it has become yet another procrastination tool that I have become addicted to! If you haven’t seen Pinterest, check it out at www.pinterest.com or better still you can follow my boards @ http://pinterest.com/paul_vb/ BUT now I have found a second version of Pinterest called Gentlemint [...]
Christmas Stress Relief
It’s called the silly season for a reason, right? How many times have you been pushed out of the way at the shops this year for some other greedy person to get to the bargains (which you didn’t even want anyway!)? Is all the stress of thinking about the family getting together on Christmas day [...]
Get Organised Online… Evernote
Do you have a scrap book filled with clippings, loose pieces of paper and not really have any idea of where anything is? Or know that you kept ‘that’ clipping for some reason but have no idea where you put it, but it’s in a ‘safe place’. You’re not alone! But I recently started using [...]
Spare Ticket announced as AMI National Finalist
Ok shameless plug warning! We’re super excited to see our client Spare Ticket announced as a National Finalist for the Australian Marketing Institute’s Awards for Marketing Excellence in the ‘New Brand’ category.

Gruen Planet’s first episode airs tonight
The Gruen Transfer is my favourite show. Hands down. It’s required reading (or watching) for those in our industry and gives the rest of the world an insight into what we advertisers do each day. So naturally I’m busting with excitement for Gruen Planet which airs tonight on ABC1 at 9pm. Over an eight-week season [...]
SmartClinics opens at Westfield Chermside on September 19
I’m impatient, work long hours and not loyal to any particular doctor – I guess I’m fitting right into the Gen-Y stereotype! But seriously, when I need a basic prescription or need some basic medical care I just want to pop in and out of the doctor’s as quickly as possible – and I’d think [...]
Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival
Each year I thoroughly look forward to seeing the best of Brisbane fashion unleashed to the public at Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. I love getting all ‘suited up’ and wandering down to the 60 metre long marquee that spreads along the Brisbane River in South Bank. I love seeing the new and upcoming models that [...]
New social network to rival Facebook, Twitter and Google
I was reading the Brisbane Courier Mail on Friday and came across this story by Alex Dickinson about “the next big” social network, created right here in Brisbane. Kondoot – a social network based around live streaming video – was quietly launched last month by a small Brisbane team of young technical programmers and already [...]
Social Media for Good & Evil
It was the widespread availability of social media – namely Facebook & Twitter – which enabled the coordination of the recent London riots. It was also the Blackberry which made it difficult for Police to uncover the crimes as the Blackberry’s instant messaging is not easily encrypted. The majority of British youth prefer the Blackberry [...]
Semi-Permanent Brisbane a great inspiration!
This year’s Semi-Permanent Brisbane was an awesome day packed with some really inspiring speakers. The video above, by Supervixen, formed the introduction. The concept represents the conference making an impact on which ever country it arrives at. Another of my favourite speakers was illustrator/fashion photographer, Kelly Thompson. Having developed a reputation for getting the sass out [...]
