With our popcorn boxes ready and our digital thinking caps on, we stepped into The Dendy for Step Change Movie Night last week. We welcomed more than 200 clients and friends — our biggest audience ever.

This was the perfect opportunity to thank everyone for a great year and showing them how much we appreciate them through a round of free drinks and, of course, a private viewing of Tom Hanks’ latest movie — The Post.  

Our CEO, Ashton Bishop, opened the night followed by a 2018 digital marketing growth trends talk led by Head of Digital, Rob Steers. 

Rob shared the results of a survey we made across CEOs, CMOs, Heads of Marketing, Heads of Sales in Australia to find out where they look to invest for growth in 2018.

Members of our team shared fresh case studies as well. Domenico De Rosa (Art Director) and Steph Sour (Lead UI Designer) offered insights based on our recent creative projects, and Adrian Stewart and Katrina Nielsen shared our clients' successful stories on strategy.

They also highlighted successful client campaigns that showcased how using the right digital trends promoted growth through AGL Energy and Bankstown City Aged Care.

And finally, a Tom Hanks movie treat with The Post — a thrilling drama by Steven Spielberg that depicts the true story of journalists from The Washington Post in their fight for press freedom, which earned great reviews from movie critics and the NY Times.

The after-party followed at the Opera Bar at Circular Quay.
