Are we as ethical as we say we are?

Are we as ethical as we say we are?

Buyers are voting with their wallets, favouring brands doing big things for social change. We ethical copywriters are also doing our bit to produce damn fine personality-fuelled copy for these brands. But how ethical are we really? Are we walking the walk in our own...

I’m not a Marvel fan. Except for Black Panther

You might be mistaken thinking Black Panther is just another super-hero movie. Oh no my friend. You’d be very wrong. It’s sooooo much more. Black Panther is like no other Marvel movie. Yep, it’s a super-hero film, but more importantly, it’s ground-breaking celebration...

Your money makes a difference

Right down to my core, I’m a huge fan of socially minded businesses who do good in the world. And those who stand up and speak out.

Everyone should be free to grow, have a voice and live their dreams safely and happily.

I’m with you. Making a difference. Having the important, sometimes difficult conversations for change.

Every year I give more than 50% of my profit smackeroonies to ethical causes that sweep me off my feet. I spend the bucks on snazzy small purpose-driven brands doing good in the world.

I acknowledge and celebrate that I live, work and play on the lands of the Ngunnawal people and the lands of the oldest living culture known to the world.

I honour this privilege and responsibility with respect, humility and curiosity. I appreciate the wisdom, diversity and innovation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of seeing and being, and their elders past and present. Always was. Always will be.

Diversity is a key part of our history, culture, and identity. I support work across the whole kit and caboodle of social impact. From humanity to the planet and everything in between. I stand with Black Lives Matter.
