  • Augmented Reality is now behind some great new apps

    It doesn’t take a genius to notice that more and more people own a smartphone. As a society we love the convenience that they offer, the entertainment value they bring us and arguably, the connection they provide to our social networks, whether that may be in the form of a phone call or text message,…

  • QLD floods inspire the extraordinary

    This time last week I sat at my desk daydreaming about my weekend activities – specifically those I could use as inspiration for my first Brio Daily blog come Monday.  At the time, my plans were ordinary – take an early morning CityCat to Southbank, grab a coffee, wander over to GoMA, take a midday…

  • Social Media in times of need

    During the devastation that has been the 2011 floods in Queensland, it is hard to imagine not being able to obtain up to the minute information from social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook. We have seen in previous times of stress on the nation where social media really shines, allowing people from across…

  • Social Media – the reporters of the modern age

    With the flood waters slowing releasing their hold on Brisbane, the city is very slowly stirring back to life.

Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful,…

  • Welcome to 2011 – What’s your New Year’s Resolution?

    Welcome to 2011! If you have survived the hangover that is New Year’s Eve (or perhaps you are still struggling!), you may now be focusing your attention to all of the new year’s resolutions that you made during those celebratory drinks! In general, most New Year’s resolutions involve personal development or improvement such as things…

  • All the buildings in New York City

    I [heart] NY. No really I do. I’m ridiculously addicted to the city. I love that the city holds everything that you need (well, if you’re partial to urban living & non-stop activity – of which I am). Once in NYC, you don’t really need to leave. Why would you? 24-hour choice is at your finger…

  • Brio Group’s vision is to create vision

    Our advertising agency in Brisbane has a vision that can impact our immediate community, but also the greater community.
