Why we got comms pros drawing llamas

What do you call two llamas standing next to a bell?

Llama llama ding dong.

Why the corny joke? Well, we hired a real llama is for one of our Comms Creatives Academy creative experiences.

And we also invited ex-Disney expert animator Noeline Cassettari to teach us to draw Cadbury the llama, live from Sydney Australia.

‘What for?’, you might ask.

Doesn’t the average communication, marketing. or communications manager have better, more important things to do with their time?

It’s all part of our commitment to developing the careers of our clients.

We give you training so you can put the best strategies, tips and tricks into practice.

But each month, we also encourage you to boost your creativity, productivity and wellbeing with creative experiences.

We see so many people we work with so committed to their jobs that they rarely lift their heads up out of work.

Busy busy busy, neglecting their own feelings of overwhelm and fatigue.

At least one hour a month, you should be doing something fun, connecting with your creative side – allow yourself some you-time.

So you can go back to your work with a fresh mind. Relaxed.

With a smile on your face.

And then – your work will be better. And you’ll feel a little bit happier.
