As many may know, we are very passionate about the discussion around mental health and are incredibly grateful for the openness and honesty that legendary Nicole brought to this one. Remember to dance tonight everyone, if you can. Happy Friday.

Part 2 of our adventures with Jerry. Who doesn't love an awkward water cooler convo?

100% conceptualised and written in-house by Directors @luke.goodall and @sarahhickey.tv, we worked closely with @klooktravel to come up with the concept of our good friend Jerry, a man who loves to brag about his "travels". Haha.

Hope you love these as much as we do. And thanks to the team of legends below who helped bring this one to life (way back when).

We made this series of spots RIGHT before the pandemic had other ideas for the travel industry. But now that travel is back on the cards again, we are over the moon that these babies are getting to see the light of day.

Can you believe it’s nearly Winter already? While that’s something we’re all flipping out over here at @monsterandbear it does mean that gorgeous winter trips to the Grampians are on the cards. Another goosebump-worthy piece for @visitmelbourne as a part of the ‘Stay Close, Go Further’ campaign. Thanks for having us @houndsrunvineyard @blackandgingerwine

Moving on to @thegrampians as the next region to showcase for @visitmelbourne as part of the ‘Stay Close. Go further’ campaign was a dream for us. One of Victoria’s most understated regions full of boutiques - of you’ve never gotten around to going, this will probably encourage you to take the leap.

Meeting Em and Kel of @terra.thelabel for this piece was nothing short of pure joy. Thanks girls, and to the whole team for helping to bottle up your passion for kindness to the planet and the beautiful work you do with the label.
