Newcastle law firm Mullane and Lindsay Solicitors has recently launched a corporate blog site to provide people with valuable local legal news.
The site will hopefully provide news on Newcastle lawyers and publish the latest information on family law, property law, commercial law and contesting wills.
Hunter Advantage, a new initiative to promote Newcastle and the Hunter Valley to the rest of Australia, was launched last week. The concept is headed by a consortium of prominent local business identities and will involve a national medi and online campaign aimed at bringing more business to the region.
Here’s the Herald’s announcement:
THE Hunter is set to go head-to-head with major growth regions like south-eastern Queensland to market itself as an economic powerhouse.
A new venture with private sector backing will be launched in Newcastle on Friday to send the message that the Hunter is open for business.
Called Hunter Advantage, the marketing project will combine a national advertising campaign with an internet site to build a strong case for business and industry to invest in or relocate to the Hunter and stimulate growth.
A group of intrepid social media fans have begun a weekly gathering in Newcastle. Its called Newcastle Coffee Morning and has been going for the last month. The team from Sticky Advertising took along their new FLIP video camera to help introduce you to the rest of the crew.
Come join in the fun every Friday at Baristaba Cafe at The Boardwalk, Honeysuckle.

The Federal Government and private sector will invest up to $43 billion over eight years in a super-fast national broadband network, in the “single biggest infrastructure decision in Australia’s history”.
The significance of this announcement reaches far beyond the actual construction implications. The proposed National Broadband Network will affect how Australian’s do business, communicate, consume media and compete internationally.
There will also be an immediate effect, despite the projected 8 year roll-out, as companies begin positioning for what will be a very different future.
The fibre-to-the-premise network will run to 90% of homes and businesses offering speeds of up to 100 megabits per second. The remaining homes and businesses will be reached via wireless and satellite technologies offering speeds of 12 megabits per second.
Companies with strong online businesses should do well now as their future now seems so much brighter.

Sticky Advertising, a leading digital, social and traditional media agency based in Newcastle has been recognised 3 times in the listing of Australia’s top marketing blog websites.
Julian Cole’s second appraisal of Australia’s Top 50 Marketing blogs has been published in B&T Magazine and we are proud to say that Sticky Advertising has figured prominently.
Newcastle-based digital, social and traditional media agency, Sticky Advertising prescribes the marketing plan you should consider for 2009.
The international economic crisis has been devastating in the US and
European financial and housing sectors and all indications are that
Australia will also feel some of the pain. Already several large
advertisers both here and overseas
have indicated they will be cutting back on their marketing investment
over the next year, and as the fear of recession spreads its likely
that local advertisers will consider following suit.
Traditionally advertising budgets are amongst the first things cut
when times get tough, but what should you really be doing for your
brand and business to ensure you survive and even prosper during an
economic downturn?
Newcastle agency Sticky Advertising has undergone a (r)evolution, relaunching as Newcastle’s first Digital, Social and Traditional media agency.
"We have been closely observing the changes to the modern media
landscape and feel that emerging media trends are becoming too
significant to ignore," said Sticky managing director Craig Wilson
"We have seen the future and it’s digital."
"As a result we have evolved to include Digital and Social media in
our core services and have released some revolutionary new products to
coincide with the changes."
Amongst the new offerings is Newcastle’s most dedicated Search Engine Optimisation package, allowing businesses to dramatically improve their rankings with online search engines.
Wilson says…."What is the point of a website that nobody sees?”
Who else wants better search rankings?
A Newcastle digital advertising agency is delivering search engine optimisation that guarantees clients substantially better search rankings in a matter of weeks.
Craig Wilson, managing director of Sticky explains:
As Sticky has evolved from a traditional media agency to a digital and social media agency
we have become more fascinated and excited by the possibilities of
Search Engine Optimisation. Eighteen months of research and testing has
resulted in the development of an SEO approach that is remarkably effective.
How effective? Well the agency’s new website ranks at the top or near the top of Google
searches for every category it targeted within a month. Most SEO ‘experts’ would tell
you that result wouldn’t be possible for 3 to 4 months.
In fact, Sticky Advertising offers arguably the most effective Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in Newcastle.
The proof is in the actual search
results. There are dozens of businesses claiming to offer SEO services
in Newcastle and the Hunter, yet if you do a Google (Australia) search
for ‘SEO Newcastle’, Sticky is on the first page
after less than a month. Not once, but twice. You would expect that
this would be a very difficult search to rank well on, given the large
number of experts vying for position on the first page.
NEW YORK, April 22 (Reuters) – Despite planned expansions, the ability of Australian seaports to handle increased coal shipments is unlikely to improve in the next few years, the head of the world’s largest coal producer said on Tuesday.
"It’s not going to happen," Gregory Boyce, chairman and chief executive of Peabody Energy Corp (BTU.N: Quote, Profile, Research) told Wall Street analysts.
During a conference call to discuss Peabody’s first-quarter financial results, Boyce was asked whether recent congestion at Australian ports would be fixed soon. "It depends on what you mean by ‘fixed,’" said Boyce.
