Spring Menu Launch Party @ Taxi Dining Room

Posted by & filed under Thoughts.

As you know, LBMPR is now working with the wonderful Taxi Dining Room and its sister venues, Transit Cocktail Lounge and Transport Hotel.

Last Tuesday, October 25th, we celebrated the launch of Taxi’s stunning new Spring menu at an exclusive cocktails and canapés soirée. The event was a huge success! Executive Chef Tony Twitchett’s food was, of course, delectable and the delicious wine and cocktails, matched by Head Sommelier Jackson Watson, complemented it perfectly.

The guest list was studded with stars and movers and shakers in the food scene, and the feedback has been outstanding across the board. We would like to congratulate the team at Taxi for putting on such a gorgeous evening, and are looking forward to our next opportunity to devour the Spring menu.

Check out some of the pics from the night below.

Pawsome Savings with Pawfect Deals

Posted by & filed under Thoughts.

A very warm welcome to our new client, Pawfect Deals, who LBMPR will be handling the PR for. LBMPR are pleased to announce the launch of their new website, PawfectDeals.com.au, which offers pet only daily deals where you’ll be able to take advantage of the huge daily savings - from pet grooming to worming tablets and just about every other pet problem you can think of.

The site was established by Australian vet, Dr Rod Sharpin, who wanted to help his patient’s owners save money on pet products and services.

According to Rod, “Australians just love their pets. In fact, 78% of pet owners spend more time with their pets than they do with their own spouse. They’re more than happy to spend money on their pets, but we wanted to offer pet owners a way of using their collective power to score some ‘pawfect’ deals for pets.”

Each day, a pawsome deal will be offered to members either nationally, or in each capital city. Members can pounce on that deal by clicking on the ‘Buy it now’ button, and once they have purr-chased the deal, a voucher will be sent to their inbox. Like other group buying sites, the deal will only go through if the minimum number of deals are purchased – and make no bones about it, the bigger the community, the greater the savings!

To sign up for some pawsome deals then visit PawfectDeals.com.au or join their Facebook community at I Love Pets – Australia.

 

BOBS by Skechers

Posted by & filed under Thoughts.

While most shoe splurges result in a guilty conscience, here is a line of footwear you can feel good about slipping into! Skechers has created a new collection of canvas slip-ons called BOBS which stands for Benefitting Others by Shoes. For every pair of BOBS sold, Skechers will give a pair to a child in need through the Soles4Soles shoe charity. This on trend product is colourful, comfortable and easy to wear.

 

A great addition for a summer wardrobe (if summer ever comes round again) and a great way to give back to those in need. Call 1800 655 154 for stockist enquiries.

Cecil St @ South Melbourne Market

Posted by & filed under Thoughts.

Last Thursday, the Cecil St @ South Melbourne Market restaurant precinct was launched with much fanfare and merriment, featuring fresh, flavoursome cuisine from around the world and great live music.  littleBig had the pleasure of inviting and hosting the media contingent, a happy bunch of 50 or so eager foodies.

Guests were invited to take part in a progressive dinner, featuring five different restaurants. The evening kicked off at the LG kitchen with drinks and yum cha from Linx BBQ and Yum Cha. Guests enjoyed spring rolls, dumplings and roast pork dishes (to name a few).

 

Next up it was Simply Spanish where guests were treated to an authentic paella, lamb cutlets and breaded prawns.

Next stop on the list was Köy. The restaurant was filled to the brim with punters but that didn’t stop the kitchen from sending out delicious goodies such as Gozleme and Manti.

 

The Italian Brasserie served bruschetta, meatballs and calamari.  Bellissima!

 

Last on the list was Renan Goksin’s Claypots Evening Star where satisfied diners gathered for a drink and soaked up the jovial atmosphere.

 

No longer is South Melbourne Market just a daytime destination.  Cecil St @ South Melbourne Market is a buzzing restaurant precinct with live music and a delicious variety of food and tipple on offer.  Finally, a dining destination (or five) in South Melbourne!  Do yourself a favour…

 

Delux: App of the Year

Posted by & filed under Thoughts.

LBMPR has decided it’s time to let everyone in on the latest and greatest app to hit Melbourne.

The Delux iPhone app (soon to be released for Blackberry and Android) is a new revolution in luxury travel and lets you order a personal driver at the touch of a button. Delux puts an end to dodgy taxi rides and provides first class service whenever you need to get somewhere in style.

The free app was created by young entrepreneur Christopher Wilkie and is set to be huge.

With LBMPR heading up an ad campaign on Fox FM, ambassador program and PR and promotional campaign, the word is well and truly getting out.

Although the app is currently only available in Melbourne, it will be Australia wide soon so keep an eye out.

Happy travels…

The littleBig team!
