If you're bored this Monday Morning and need a bit of inspiration, why not only read this WHIP, but all the others? It's bound to get you into gear super quick. Spend some time searching the Monday Whip archive and you’re sure to come across me talking passionately about building a folio of ideas ‘n stuff rather than a book of ads. This logic holds true for all types of creative work not just advertising. The idea being that your folio represents you and the way that you think, ... Read More! »

See this guy? Up there? That's Nick Shelton, founder and head-honcho of Broadsheet Media - that nifty webby that tells you where to eat breakfast when you're really hungover on a Saturday morning. He gave his 10 tips in 10 minutes at our first event for 2013 in Melbourne. And no, before you ask - there were no breakfast tips. But there were tips for grabbing yourself by the balls and plunging into your dream (whatever that may be), with not much more than sheer determination and an ... Read More! »

Don't be fooled by the number on this post - this is Stan's 200th Monday Morning WHIP! For almost five years Stan has been kicking our asses into action, and this morning is no exception. Enjoy. I’m you’ve heard about the Oreo tweet during the power blackout at the Superbowl a few weeks back. If you haven’t you really should have. So get over to Google pronto. Anyway this week that tweet picked up not one but two Bronze Clio awards. And those awards are going to be shared ... Read More! »

Hi Esther, I’m currently living in Melbourne to study advertising, but every time I go back home to the coast one of my mates always enthusiastically questions me about my course and the industry. He is a really confident guy who currently works in sales and I have always pictured him making a great Account Executive.
