    Sitting down and collectively brainstorming for a campaign can generate some amazing results and be a lot of fun if the sessions are run well. Running brainstorming or idea generation sessions well will save time by keeping the ideas on track. They will produce a bigger haul of valuable ideas and build structured freedom and…

    There’s something about the ridiculously cute characters of Mochimochi Land that has me running to Spotlight in search of knitting needles and wool. I don’t now how to knit, I have zero patience and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be the world’s worst knitter but I feel compelled to try some of the awesome…

    I’m sure you would have heard the expression, “he/she has an infectious smile.” It’s true! A smile can also be referred to as being contagious.

    As I drive to work each day and sit in peak hour traffic patiently waiting for my turn to move ahead a metre, I can’t help but think this is a complete waste of time and fuel, but yet I endure it day after day. This is not the first time the changes to our…

    Let’s face it, sweets are forever in style. Who can’t resist a fancy dessert, a gourmet cupcake, or the sweet-of-the-moment, a macaroon? Whether it’s for formal celebrations like engagement parties or weddings, corporate events or just a swanky morning tea at home with cakes that are fine and fancy, you cannot go past Cakestar. The…

  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

    I’m finding it fascinating the trend towards the change in beauty, especially in the fashion world. Today’s contributors to the fashion industry are constantly challenging traditional thinking, which inspires people like the Brio Group team to think outside the square.
