In September 2017, the Australian government announced a postal ballot asking whether same-sex marriage should be legalised. Queeraz, a new social network connecting the queer world, wanted Australians to experience all of the love and joy of a same-sex marriage before they cast their votes.

But the only way that was possible in Australia, was through Virtual Reality.

Can an artist create an entire exhibition on their journey from Tokyo to Sydney, using only a Toshiba Ultrabook on one charge?

That was the challenge we set Tomokazu Matsuyama to test the Toshiba Z20t's impressive 17 hour battery life.

First developed by the Vodafone Foundation in 2015, the DreamLab app uses the combined processing power of idle smartphones to help speed up cancer research for The Garvan Medical Institute. The problem is, it only works if enough people use it. 

So with DreamLab launching on IOS in 2017, we harnessed the power of the world's biggest professional network, LinkedIn, and launched a recruitment campaign inviting Australians to download the app to start their DreamJob as a cancer researcher.

Parents want to believe that their daughters are happy, confident and immune to social pressures surrounding body image. But what if they could see what their daughters are really searching for online? Would it tell them a different story about their self-esteem?

Everyone seems to know Barry Ogden. But unfortunately for Barry, it's for all the wrong reasons.

Let's be honest, Australian politics is a bit of a joke. So with an election year looming, we decided to throw one more hapless leader into the mix. Meet Dale Jeffries, 2003 Regional Jenga Champion and Leader of The Breakers Party. 

For eight weeks, Dale hit the campaign trail on a mission to overthrow the break-snubbing political elite, by founding a new party that everyone in Australia could get behind. 

The Breakers Party showed up on Facebook, Twitter, in the press and even on pack, where Dale recruited a cabinet of 'ministers' to literally sit on his front bench. There were over 120,000 applications (entries) and five lucky punters got the job (won some shit).

We fought hard for this one. It was presented, sold and then (like so many ideas) miraculously unsold again. So we decided to take matters into our own hands. We shot the Opera House execution on a sunny Sydney weekend and used our own dodgy mock up to proposition our ECD for the money to fly to Brisbane and Melbourne to finish the campaign. 

We then presented the finished work to Virgin Australia and they told us to go fuck ourselves... Only kidding, they bought the campaign and our posters were displayed in airports and lounges across the country.

To celebrate Virgin Australia's sponsorship of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, we transformed the travelators at Sydney Airport into living sheet music, for a world-first performance of Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons - Spring'.

At the start of 2017, we pitched for the Vodafone account, winning the business with a simple idea that for the first time brought meaning to their global brand line, 'Power to You'.

Leading the brand, we produced three successful campaigns in the first six months. But it was clearly a little too late, as the global brand team went on to scrap 'Power to you', replacing it with 'The future is exciting. Ready?' 

Each of these ads have since been adapted for the new campaign, but we prefer the originals. 

"Yeah, g'day mate."

What does your cubicle choice say about you?

In 2016 we were lucky enough to win the Young Lions print competition and represent Australia in Cannes. For the past three years before that we were finalists in the film category with a heartbreaking runner up in 2014. Here you can find work we created in the final 24 & 48 hour rounds of competition.
