A wonderful event for International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) in the Hobart Mall today. And nice work from the IC Agency team for designing the event posters and championing accessible creative work to support such initiatives.

The day came alive with music, dance, and song performances from various disability support groups and organisations. The energy and enthusiasm drew the attention of people passing by, many of whom joined in the celebrations!

And the market stalls showcased incredible creative artworks and products, alongside informational booths offering guidance on disability-related recreation, technology, and support services.

A big congrats to the City of Hobart for their continued leadership in staging inclusive community events.

(Q) How did three North West communities come together to design a logo? (A)"We engaged a design agency who had the skills and enthusiasm to come on the co-design journey with us. They visited each community and talked to parents about parenting, place, and community" – client quote

Recently we had the pleasure of working with Burnie Works and in partnership with the University of Tasmania, embarking on a journey to co-design and implement the North West First 1000 Days project with the community.

Together, we began exploring how community-led approaches to parent education can improve outcomes for children, families, and communities.

The project aims to produce resources using four “quadrants” of focus – connection, nutrition, caring, and movement – to help parents and carers involved in the project communicate what they are learning and finding.

During the co-design process, we met an amazing bunch of diverse people passionate about their local communities, all with unique perspectives and lived experiences. They are the heart and soul of this remarkable project - inspiring positive change, fostering connection and making a lasting impact through their efforts. The true spirit of community!

So we couldn't be happier to have lent our professional hand in helping to consult, brand and build awareness of such an important information and support initiative. And everyone is loving the clothing and merchandise adorned with their individual logos :)

Recently we had the pleasure of attending the Tasmanian Tourism Awards as guests of our client Aquila Eco Retreat. And what an amazing night it was!! 🎉

Aquila was a finalist in three categories 🤩 Eco Tourism, Unique Accommodation and People's Choice, walking away with GOLD🥇in Eco Tourism and SILVER🥈for Unique Accommodation!

A massive achievement and so well deserved 👏 They still can't believe they won (as you can tell by their reaction in the photos).

But we know the level of passion, persistence, and investment they have made over the last few years. As well as the wonderful relationship we enjoy in helping them reposition and market the property in a sophisticated but authentic way.

So a big thanks to Alice and Jason for the journey we've experienced together so far, and their unwavering support of our unique Agency. Also thanks to Destination Southern Tasmania for their ongoing industry support and all the hard work behind the scenes.

#3 Brand Economics. This week's Agency blog article; Cracking the Code on Brand Management Principles and Strategies for a Competitive Advantage. So do you just have a logo or a fully functioning brand?

In today's fiercely competitive market, establishing a robust brand presence is imperative for businesses striving to capture market share and create long-term success.

However, beyond the surface-level aesthetics of branding lies an intricate tapestry of principles that underpin the true value and influence of brands. How to maximise their impact is the art of integrated brand management.

Welcome to our snapshot guide on brand economics, where we delve into the broader insights into how brands create real value across many metrics by influencing consumer behaviour and driving business performance.

Explore these dynamics in our latest blog by our MD Phillip 'Sunny' Drury on the Agency's website:

#2 Inclusion Economics. This week, Agency guest blogger Graeme Innes AM shares his top 10 reasons why enhanced website accessibility is good for business.

"One of your main aims as a marketer for your website is 'click through'. I see a weblink on social media, think that is interesting, and click the link. But then I encounter the things that make me leave your website as fast as I arrived.” - Graeme Innes

Think of your website as your business's digital shopfront, serving as the gateway to your brand, products and services. Are you ensuring a distinct and satisfying 'user experience' for all potential customers, or leaving them frustrated and searching for your competitors?

This is basic user experience and if your website developer doesn’t know UX and accessible design, then I’d be worried.

#1 Behavioural Economics. Let's delve into the psychology of the 'herd mentality' with our guest blogger James West. These behavioural insights are crucial in crafting effective brand identities, advertising and sales campaigns.

James is an experienced executive specialising in large transformation programs globally, integrating his therapist, coach, and facilitator skills into his approach.

Marketing is often referred to as a 'dark art', but effective communication is all about understanding human tendencies, and we're sure you'll find this article he wrote for us fascinating!

Poet John Donne's quote, 'No man is an island,' underscores societal influence, that individuals often underestimate the sway of cultural norms and collective behaviours.

In our incredibly individualistic culture, we tend to think we're immune to the effects of the herd. But whether conforming to road and tax rules, political beliefs, or even avoiding danger, herd behaviour permeates society at all levels.

For example, imagine you're in a lift and four people enter and stand facing the wall with their backs to the door. Do you then face the lift doors, or slowly pivot and face the wall?

Experienced creatives understand behavioural economics and leverage these methods to design the most effective targeted strategies with compelling visual and written language that resonate with and influence diverse audiences.

Centuries before the ‘invention’ of psychology, the poet John Donne already understood an important principle of psychology, it is not just us who influences society, society also influences us. In many surprising ways, our behaviour is governed by what everyone else around us is doing.

As Autism Month rolls on, so does our ‘Be Open to Autism’ campaign bus advertising.
The social impact campaign we developed with Autism Tasmania needed to reach people beyond their digital devices and engage with them while going about their everyday lives.

Outdoor media is a highly effective ‘out of home’ communication method that captures people's attention in an immediate and impactful way, and bus advertising is relatively unavoidable, moving or stationary.

Other options include mobile billboards, digital screens, targeted posters, car decals and fixed signage.

So as part of our integrated media strategy, we collaborated with GoTransit Media Group Tasmania to achieve the highest exposure in terms of locations and travel routes, as well as the production and placement of the striking creative approach on the buses themselves.

As the photos depict, Metro buses were used in Hobart, Devonport, Burnie and Launceston to carry the campaign illustration-style imagery of people experiencing the world in full colour and promoting Autism Tasmania’s message for us all to embrace diverse minds and be open to Autism.

See the full campaign case study on our website: https://inclusivecreatives.com.au/project/embracing-diversity-in-an-effort-to-be-more-mainstream/

Appreciation from satisfied clients is the ultimate reward...
“We were thrilled to work with Inclusive Creatives on branding for our growing company. They were able to review and distil the essence of our brand to create a contemporary look that accurately reflected our unique style while consolidating our branding for use across multiple platforms. They took time to get to know our company image and delivered a high-end product that we are rolling out across our clinics and online.” – Dr Clair McCartney.

Industry leading Sanctum Medical Aesthetics sought our expertise for a comprehensive revitalisation.

From identity and merchandising to a new flagship store concept, our goal was to embody elegance and inclusiveness into a unique offering for men and women, of all ages and ethnicity.

Another amazing tourism-based project launched - Aquila Eco Retreat. A wonderfully unique off-grid rural escape just out of Richmond in the Coal River Valley. The secret is out now, with a new website and integrated marketing campaign.

We love building trusted relationships with passionate clients and sharing the fun along the journey. We’ve had the pleasure of working closely with owners Alice and Jason to capture the stunning natural beauty and relaxed luxury experience Aquila offers.

The Agency team produced the creative platform, multi-use video (thanks to Matt Scott of MTS Films), screen and digital content, an accessible contemporary website, and implemented a Social Media and AdWords marketing campaign.

The campaign celebrates the unique eco-pods and the property’s immersive sensory experiences, as well as the range of local attractions, high-quality food and beverage products and tourism offerings to local and targeted national markets.

Plus, with a fully accessible glamping tent as one of the accommodation choices everyone can enjoy, it ticks all the boxes on an inclusive tourism level too :)
