Getting social at the University of Adelaide

Last week, Mal Chia, Digital Strategy Manager at the University of Adelaide delivered a presentation at the annual Tertiary Education Conference on social media marketing. The topic? The Life Impact brand campaign that the uni and OBM rolled out last year. Mal spoke to 150 international university marketers about building a campaign, focusing on integrating social media with traditional, seeding and bringing an idea to life, and funneling traffic between channels. We’re currently completing our own case study of the campaign, so stay tuned!

Brendan falls at Falls

obm — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:29:52 +0000

Poor Brendan. There he was dancing like a free spirit at Falls Festival. Next minute he’s lying in the emergency room of Geelong Hospital with a shattered ankle that, quite frankly, needs an entirely new adjective created to describe just how nasty it is.

Get well soon, Bren! You’ll be back on your foot in no time. And if you need some movies to watch while you recover, might we suggest Footloose or Happy Feet?

OBMers team up with SecondBite

Recently, OBM’s Chris and Melissa joined SecondBite’s friendly van driver, Arvinda, to get a better idea of the food-rescue process. Getting a first-hand look at the fantastic work our client does everyday – not to mention the people it affects – was an experience neither will forget. SecondBite constantly need more volunteers however, so please click here to help.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

obm — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:40:00 +0000

As the festive season gets into full swing, our Christmas Greetings this year are accompanied by a donation to SecondBite. You can view our e-card here.

SecondBite is a charity that exists to rescue the mountains of fresh food that Australians dump in landfill every year and provide it to the many people who lack access to a reliable source of nutritious food.

We donate our services to SecondBite throughout the year and we’re delighted to top that off with a donation on behalf of our clients, in lieu of corporate gifts. And it’s great to get behind a cause that tackles Christmas waste on the back of our recent Gruen Planet film (see earlier post).

In 2011, SecondBite rescued over 1,000,000 kgs of nutritious fresh food and supplied it to community food programmes to serve up two million wholesome meals to people in need around Australia.

Gruen Planet – The Pitch: An honourable draw!

obm — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:54:32 +0000

We played our part in crushing this year’s Christmas Spirit on Gruen Planet last night. For ‘The Pitch’ we were asked to create a TV commercial for conservation group, Gruenpeace, exposing Christmas for the damage it does to the environment. We were delighted with Tim & Ben’s powerful response to the brief. Danielle was on the sofa to present our work, against Ron Mather from It’s The Thought That Counts. We were honoured to get a draw from the panelists against one of the industry’s greats. Let’s see how we score in the online viewers’ vote! click here to vote and view the interview with Danielle here.
