If you love sport, then chances are you have come into contact with the Gold Coast Football Club at some point recently. As the GCFC's digital agency Tusk have been working hard building and maintaining their website, rolling out a strong social presence (namely on Facebook and Twitter ), designing the 'RISE UP' member magazine, plus a number of other creative jobs . We look forward to continuing our relationship with the club and cant wait until they run out onto the ground for the first time in 2011.

As one of our longest standing clients Tusk have been working with World Travel Professionals across their digital assets, social arenas, marketing and creative since 2004.

We have been tightening our belts in recent months, as Tusk has been creating an exclusive body transformation e-book for celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges, as seen on The Biggest Loser . The e-book, which is available to participants on completion of her exclusive online program, allows users to continue and maintain their body transformation through extensive training and eating plans which are easy to follow and rich in content. Working on this e-book has been a source of inspiration for us at Tusk. As winter approaches we are reviewing our exercise plans, making healthy lunches (due to our new bigger fridge, thanks Phil!) and making positive steps in the right direction to ensure we maintain healthy and focused over these colder months.

Imagine this....Sink your teeth into a rich Belgian white, milk or dark chocolate shell and the fine mastery of European chocolatiers is undeniable. Smooth truffle filling seeps and tantalises the senses until a caramelised macadamia crunch ensues. 8th Sin is indulgence dedicated to the ultimate in decadence. A deliciously wicked journey of the taste buds - so sensuous, it’s a sin. Its no secret that the Tusk office love chocolate and working with Suncoast Gold Macadamia's on the branding of this new product has been heaven. Naming, identity, copywriting and product packaging all came together to get this truly amazing experience ready for the marketplace. We'd love to offer you a sample but theres none left..oops they didn't last long. You'll have to check them out soon and taste for yourself, when they hit your local supermarket.

Sand Dunes, crystal blue water, amazing architecture, and alluring sounds and smells! Tusk's MD was fortunate enough to travel through the Middle East in February visiting some of our clients and meeting new ones. Primarily based in Dubai, which happened to be running the Dubai Shopping Festival, the trip also included ventures into Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Qatar (a highlight) & Bahrain. On her travels she got lost in the souks, was blasted by the V8's at Yass Island, and feasted on the most incredible food. All this combined with plenty of meetings and networking events to attend - the three weeks passed quickly by. Check out Tusk's facebook  for the photos...and stay tuned, the next trip is planned for this month.

The past 2 years has seen one of our own advance to new levels. Beginning her life at Tusk as our receptionist, Carly has quickly established herself as our Search Analyst and Wordpress expert through lots of hard work and dedication. Add to this her university studies, undergoing a Bachelor of Business (Advertising), and she's been one busy girl. Congratulations Carly!

With our expansion into Melbourne and the exciting prospect of a Dubai based office, an updated look and feel was in order. We have launched a new website, updated our credentials, designed new stationary and social interfaces. But it hasn't all been creative...new technology has been introduced to our service offering and we have launched our client collaboration tool and portal.
