Big thanks to Cancer Council and the Australian Government for making this episode of Style-ish possible! As you embrace the Aussie summer this year, it’s so, so important to protect yourself every day – even if it’s cloudy. Our sun is just that powerful. And if you’re heading outside, remember to slip on a long-sleeve shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a wide-brimmed hat, seek shade, and slide on a pair of sunglasses.
And here’s a link to the reccos we made throughout:
‘Getting Brand Communities Right’ by Harvard Business Review
‘Death of brand-led community part one’ by Nik Goodner
Your hosts today were Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe (@maddisonsullivanthorpe) and Rhiannon Joyce (@rhiannonjoyce).
