We’re all for feel-good MOments here at Niche, and what better way to feel good than with a ‘stash!
Indy and Mikael (and “Zac Efron”), from our Account Management team, have both volunteered to finely tune their razor strokes for the month of Mo’vember to help raise money and promote awareness surrounding prostate cancer and depression amongst men.
We’d love it if you’d pledge your support via a small donation to our Movember team –
Mikael is taking votes on which mo to grow as there is no better way to make a permanent decision about ones fashion style than by a democratic vote. The styles are:
Or why not get involved yourself? For some inspiration for your ‘stash, check out these nifty options.
Stay tuned to the Niche Blog to see the ‘stashes in action! Check out the day one pictures below (we have already reprimanded Mikael for inappropriate beard growth and he has agreed he will step into line!).
You’ll also note that “Zac Efron” has shot ahead in the ‘stash-growing saga, with a sporting Dali-esque number.
Unflood
To all of our friends and clients, this is a short post to let you know that we are all safe and expect things to be back to normal next week.
With so many of our clients and friends being badly affected by the floods, and we’d like to take this opportunity to say that our thoughts are with you and your families, if there is anything we do that can help you to get things back to normal, please let us know.
With that in mind, we have been thinking if there is a way we can use our design and digital skills to help in some way, so a few of us have got together over the weekend voluntarily, and developed a website that will allow retailers and services providers throughout the country to pledge and list discounts on offer for flooded residents and businesses.
Introducing Flood Discounts
www.flooddiscounts.com.au has been launched on 16th January 2011 as a free web directory where businesses large and small can post discounts on a wide range of products and services that are needed to help victims rebuild their lives, homes and businesses.
Generous business owners can visit the site and post their discounts that are available for legitimate flood victims, continuing the giving of care and generosity that we have seen in recent days and weeks.
At this stage, over 50% of Australia’s flood victims are expected to be denied the ability to claim on their insurance, and will require extraordinary support from their community to rebuild their homes and businesses. And even those with insurance face the enormous task of rebuilding their lives with huge financial impact.
