Following on from successful on-premise activations featuring the ‘The Good Doctor Humphrey SixWivs’ across elegant Sydney venues including The Loft, Gazebo Wine Garden and The Winery in late 2011 Hendrick’s Gin brought back the Good Doctor and Mrs Issabella Forlornicate to introduce good old fashioned etiquette back into the courtship of contemporary folk.

With a playful tongue-in-cheek and quirky brand personality, Hendrick’s visual theming frequently plays to the cucumber and rose, both key flavour elements of this “…most curious gin.”

Dates: 1-3 June 2011

NRMA Insurance ran a social media competition advertised extensively with a lead-up radio campaign to find the 11 contestants to take part in this competition.

Contestants were put through vigourous activity and some incredibly uncomfortable activities to see who could outlast the the rest and not remove their hand from the car in order to win the new VW Golf they were holding.

Bernard took it away in the end… in case you were wondering.

Writer Kate Breach decided to strengthen the pitch for her American Film Market 2011 by producing a teaser for the first film in her feature franchise “Allie Forgotten”. With a very tight timeframe for production Kate managed to pump out this quality teaser which sparked some interest on the ground at the festival. I was present for the festival in Santa Monica during pitching in November 2011 and to support such a dedicated writer who I know will breakthrough to the majors. Go Kate!

I also hosted some fun activities like the ‘Mother 100m’ at Bathurst as seen on the above video.
