So what’s the boss up to this week!?

Other than emptying out her overflowing bin full of snack packets (sorry Elise 😬), she’s plugging away at:

🔎 Testing a new AI system for the biz
🔎 Reviewing tax documents 😵‍💫
🔎 Drafting RFQs
🔎 Preparing social content for clients
🔎 Continuing work on the new website
🔎 Creating media advocacy plan for client
🔎 Building stakeholder engagement plan for client
🔎 Monthly client meetings + reporting
🔎 And more…

It’s a week of all sorts.

More AI learning with the team today thanks to and 🤖 💻 🧠.

This week, we were lucky enough to be invited along to the SA Recreation and Sport 2026 Power of Her Awards night, where we were a finalist in the 'Champion Partner' category.

While we didn't get the win on the night, we were still happy to come runner-up to an exceptional champion - in Adelaide Uni, which took out the accolade for its major sponsorship with Netball SA and the Adelaide Thunderbirds.

Still - we are super proud about the investment our small business puts into women, girls and regional causes. We're fortunate to be in a position where our shared team values and success allows us to do this - and we would encourage anyone else in a similar position to do the same. Even though we're a small agency, the impact we can all collectively have in our communities is enormous.

A big thankyou to the RMNA (specifically outgoing president Emma Swan) who wrote and submitted the award nomination after finalising our historic sponsorship of its rep team players (and of course thankyou to current RMNA VP Tammy O'Malley for coming along on the night as our #1 supporter 🙌).

In 2025-26 we've donated our time, expertise and money into a range of regional causes - including girls' sport, rural/remote medical resources, children's wellbeing, domestic violence, community infrastructure, mental health, rural female leadership and more.

We certainly appreciate the recognition here, but the real reason we do it is because it makes those long and stressful work weeks more meaningful, it powers our personal passions, all the while we are contributing to our own rural communities and those where our clients are based.

Let's see what else we can do in 2026! 💪
