Oh Cr. Rod Fyffe OAM, how you will be missed.
Always greeting us a smile and happy to get involved with many ideas to support the Bendigo and Golden Square community.

These are just some of the ideas Rod was happy to do and with great enthusiasm too.

Although we didn’t actually make the front cover of the Bendigo Magazine (still miffed about that; what a terrific front cover it would have been!), Rod was not only happy for Margaret to be the good witch, but sat through 3 hours of make-up, plus the photo shoot.
“Will you go up in a crane Rod?”
“Sure, no worries. Tell me when I need to be there.”

Vale Rod. 💔
A wealth of knowledge and support.

Thanks David Field - Shooter Photos & Film for the front cover hopefulness and great shot 👌🏻
Also thanks to the Bendigo Theatre Company for the opportunity for outrageous publicity campaigns to sell tickets! 😂

I do enjoy working with the team at Studio Ink. They ALWAYS deliver and this was to a very tight timeframe. No hassles.

Earlier this year we got to work with Bryley from Friendly Savage and Melissa and Melinda from Adapted Consulting on Adapted Consulting’s new branding for their Feel Lead Be Better brand, leadership and personal coaching for people who work with people.

This is the primary mark we developed for them, we'll be showing some more of the system next week!

Another great podcast.
This time featuring one of my bestest buds. I've very proud of her, and there's so much more to come in the next few years.

I've still got her copy of The Artists Way; I'd better get reading and return it!

🎙️ New Episode Release – Episode 13 “From Bendigo Magazine to Published Author with Amy Doak”

Join us as our host, Kimberley Furness from OAK Magazine, dives into the fascinating journey of Amy Doak - Author, a lifelong lover of books, reading, and writing. Amy's story is truly inspiring from her early career in media, including advertising, radio, television, and magazines, to her evolution into a freelance writer and now a published author.

After graduating with a computing and marketing degree, Amy's path led her through various projects and roles, ultimately culminating in the creation of Bendigo Magazine and Little One Magazine.

In our conversation sponsored by McKern Steel Foundation, Amy shares her passion for storytelling and the challenges she faced along the way. From taking a big leap of faith and launching her first magazine with a focus on promoting positive local news to navigating the complexities of selling her publications, Amy's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and dedication.

Amy's recent milestone of signing a two-book contract with Penguin Random House is a testament to her perseverance and talent. She discusses the importance of having an ‘accountability partner’ and offers valuable insights for aspiring writers and entrepreneurs alike. As she puts it, "Nothing is a waste."

Tune in to our latest episode to hear Amy's inspiring story, her love for prints, and her invaluable advice for anyone pursuing their dreams. Don't miss out on this engaging conversation! 🎧

It was great working with Studio Ink and Fabriq. 👍🏻👍🏻
