Powerpoint Design: How to make a powerpoint document look its best

Powerpoint design is tricky territory – but that doesn't mean it can't look good at all. We recently worked with a lovely client wanting to clean up their formatting and styling. Whilst no sane designer would willingly set up a file in Powerpoint, we know that you often need to – and it helps to have a strong base to leap from. ...

The random nature of running a business with authenticity

Little disclaimer. I know the word "authenticity" is thrown around a lot with marketing these days. This is my definition of it in action. Before I had my son, I was the Queen of My Own Time. I had a clear concept of how much time I should be spending in business development. I also had a clear strategy and ...

The End of Tupperware?

Is being good enough, enough?

Say hi to Suman Papad (AKA Poppadums). We get Suman Papad couriered from India. They come from a small town in India, not even a metro city. And of course there is no website. No Twitter stream. No Facebook page. And there has never been a flyer. Can you get poppadums in Melbourne? Of course. Probably even at Coles. But ...

The Concept of 9 to 5 is a Joke.

The idea of working 9am-5pm has always felt like a joke to me.Reasons: When are you meant to do the post? What is the point in shopping after 5pm when all the shops are closed? How about legal stuff? Do you meet the lawyer in your lunch break? Is your productivity really optimum from 3pm onwards? If you're only spending ...
