Join our team as we bow surf with the cheeky common dolphins at our designated interaction area called ‘The gravel patch’. Here we swim with dolphins, using our unique Aquatic Marine Viewing Experience. AMVE is the only swim with dolphins program in Port Stephens. The dolphins we interact with have complete integrity in all our interactions. Our dolphins choose to be with us or not. DolphCom never chase or use behavior modification techniques.

Newcastle advertising agency Sticky has launched a new multi-media campaign consisting of Television and web for Coast Guard Swansea to recruit new volunteers for their 24/7 operations after the volunteer organisation was awarded a Government grant from the Attorney General’s Department.
The new TV commercial currently airing on Channel TEN Newcastle promotes awareness of the important role Coast Guard Swansea plays in keeping people safe on the water as well as featuring a strong call to action for volunteers to join now.
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 advertising agency Sticky has been featured in a newly released international marketing book titled the Age of Conversation 2.
A year and a half ago, an online conversation between two marketing
professionals in the U.S. and Australia evolved into a collaborative
writing effort by more than 100 bloggers from nine countries, including Craig Wilson,
that created a book called The Age of Conversation. The project raised
nearly $15,000 for Variety, the international children’s charity.
Following the success of the first book, which was published in the summer of 2007, Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton,
organizers of the first project, have now published Age of Conversation
2, which compiles written thoughts on the role of conversation in
marketing today from 237 marketing professionals who blog in the U.S.
and 15 other countries. This time both Craig and Gordon have chapters in the book.
Pricing for The Age of Conversation 2 is:
* e-book: US$12.50 ($10.00 going to charity)
* paperback book: US$19.95 ($8.02 to charity)
* hardback book: US$29.95 ($4.60 to charity)
Purchases can be made online from October 28, 2007 at www.lulu.com/ageofconversation.
Companion is listening
The members of Companion Credit Union have been handed the unusual but exciting task of selecting the organisations new logo via a quirky new TV campaign and dedicated voting website.
Voting on the new logo kicks off the credit unions unique marketing campaign ‘We’re listening’.
In an industry where it is easy to become just another number, Companion is giving its members a feeling of ownership.
“The credit union is really owned by the members and therefore we decided we should invite them to actively participate in helping us decide our future direction” said Ray O’Brien, Chief Executive.
Companion understands that perception and branding are crucial, therefore related focus groups were recently conducted with members and non members as part of research undertaken on Companion’s corporate identity and branding, and how Companion was perceived in the market place.
The feedback from the focus groups was very clear cut – the logo and positioning needed to be updated to better reflect Companion’s identity and its relationships with current members, as well as to become more appealing to potential new members.
Staff will also be encouraged to vote for their favourite new logo, “Next to the members, the staff at Companion are an integral part of our organisation. Therefore we also wanted to ensure that they were a part of our process to refresh our corporate image” said Mr O’Brien.
The television campaign will run through until the end of October with voting to close on 31st October.
The new Companion logo as voted by its members will be unveiled at the Annual General Meeting on 12th November.
