Maggie May x Frankie Magazine

While working at Frankie Magazine, I commissioned and project managed this online-exclusive macrame tutorial with local craft icon Maggie May (The Middle Aisle, Think Thornbury). The video attracted over 90,000 views within two days and with no paid promotion.

Tutorial by Maggie May. Production by The Idea Cult.

Frankie Magazine Podcast

While working as Assistant Editor and Online Editor for Frankie, Australia’s best-selling fashion magazine, I instigated, produced and project managed the publication’s first podcast series.

Featuring inspiring, long-form interviews with creative industry leaders — from Jenny Kee to Benjamin Law, Beci Orpin, Myf Warhurst and many more — the podcast promoted the magazine’s Good Stuff Awards and attracted a listenership of 10,000+ in under a month.

Stream the full series.

 

Art and illustration judge Jeremy Wortsman runs the creative production and representation studio Jacky Winter. In this chat, he tells us what it takes to make it in the world of visual art, and how no mistake is impossible to recover from.

Our craft judge in this year's Good Stuff awards, Pip Lincolne, is basically a crafty fairy godmother. She told us about ditching the public service to pursue a creative life, and the importance of watching MacGyver while making cute stuff.

We're pretty chuffed to have Marc Fennell judging the video category of this year's Good Stuff awards. He told us all about his broadcasting career, the lessons you can learn from angry people online, and what makes a movie special.
