‘Smart state’ needs wider focus – By Jason Clout
As the Queensland Government prepares itself for the upcoming election on Saturday, chief executive of the Innovation Centre Sunshine Coast, Colin Graham, said government support needed to go out to the regional areas of Queensland and not just Brisbane. The Liberal National small business spokesman, Rob Messenger, said increasing small business in regional areas was a key goal. The centre, a subsidiary of the Sunshine Coast University, is funded through the support of the state government and the university. Mr Graham said ‘the centre has developed strengths in looking after IT and clean technology businesses but we are also seeking to build health and creative businesses.’ One of the creative companies in the centre is game developer Big Ant Studios.

Michelle Smytheman has been my PR person exclusively for 3 years. During this time she has been able to get some amazing media attention for me. Her journalistic background makes her ability to communicate to the media second to none and has been able to attract loads of free publicity either via press releases or her own contacts.

Michelle is dedicated to giving her clients 110% and will do what ever is needed to get the results you want.  I can whole heartily recommend her to anyone who needs a dynamic PR person.

Using the RIP mail system has been the best marketing move I have made in my business to date.  From the very first newsletter, traffic to my website increased 10-fold.  I receive positive feedback after each send. Best of all, the system is easy to use.
