Being a ballkid at a grand slam is a life-changing opportunity for tennis-mad kids. However, those in wheelchairs have been overlooked because society didn’t believe they could do it.

Through consultation with wheelchair users, professional tennis players, ballkid coaches and accessibility consultants, we worked with Mastercard to develop new assistive technology and a pilot program to bring the first wheelchair ballkid to the court during the Australian Open.

After becoming Netflix’s biggest series ever, Squid Game was always going to be a big part of Halloween in 2021.

At one point, the police had to step in to control the crowd.

When BP started sponsoring the V8 Supercars with their premium fuel (the one that cleans your engine), we created a loveable character to tell fans all about it.

Bert quickly became a cult icon, with fans celebrating every time he graced their screens. They made memes about him. Weird, weird memes.

Channel 10 called it the best sports sponsorship campaign they’d ever seen, and five years later, Bert is still featured in BP advertising.

A message to the fans

Every month, hundreds of Supercars fans end up here looking for more info on who Bert is.

While he may be a fictional character, he was inspired by conversations with many of the amazing volunteers who devote their free time to motorsport.

Introducing the TR-33.

The TR-33 was sent to politicians and influential Australians to raise awareness about the impact of Australia’s devastating deforestation.

To showcase that TikTok is more than just dancing teens, we created a campaign bringing trends from the platform into the real world.
