Yes. Another PADC post. 💀 Last Friday, we took home three bronze skulls from this year's Perth Advertising and Design Club (PADC) awards. Shiny new office decor is always nice, but receiving industry acclaim for our work with RTRFM 92.1 and Matso's (A company of Good Drinks Australia Ltd) was the real win. These projects represent exactly the kind of work we love creating - so seeing them recognised on a stage as prestigious as PADC's Skull Awards left us feeling pretty humbled. We received bronze for: ✔️ RTRFM Brand Refresh (Design: Brand Refresh – Small to Medium) ✔️ RTRFM Website (Websites – Brand Experience) ✔️ Matso's Website (Websites – Brand Experience) None of this would have been possible without the constant trust and support from RTRFM and Matso's. Both of these projects gave us the freedom to explore new territories and push for something extraordinary. Creating meaningful work comes naturally with clients who share your excitement for doing great things. Endless thanks to Simon Miraudo (RTRFM) and Olivia Waters (Matso's) for being legends every step of the way! To our ridiculously talented team who brought these projects to life – you're brilliant. Beyond the awards, PADC delivered another incredible night of connection and celebration. It's always inspiring to see the caliber of work coming out of WA's creative community. Thanks to the judges, attendees, and everyone behind the scenes who make these celebrations possible! #PADCAwards

We were commissioned to capture the Perth Festival summer in sound - creating a string of tunes to match this year's themes of sand dunes & salty air, truth tellers, and mischief makers. Here's one of a few sun-soaked tracks you might hear in the coming months - inspired heavily by Jungle. Listen closely and you'll hear 'Salty Disco's' meet 'Dancing in the Sand' from the dreamy background vocals as a nod to our coastline's pull. Catch us front row for what might be their strongest lineup yet!

This weekend, thousands of high-cheekboned hopefuls descended on Washington Square Park for a $50 Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest. Yep… $50. Not even enough to cover the rental fee for your Wonka-worthy purple velvet suit from Spotlight. Plot twist – they came anyway. Not just a few genetically blessed, curly-haired lads - but a crowd so massive the cops had to shut it down. And then? Timothée himself crashed the party. Talk about breaking the internet and the fourth wall simultaneously. This whole beautiful mess started with good old-fashioned flyers. You know, those things your nan still picks up at the supermarket? Just goes to show that sometimes the best marketing strats are like your Temu orders. They might not make any sense at the time, but they end up being pure genius. Dive in for our thoughts 👉🏼 #TimotheeChalamet #NYC
