What a way to wrap up a massive year. Our annual planning sessions brought the COG, Wahoo Marketing and Empire Creative teams together from across the country for the first time — and we rounded it out with a Christmas celebration filled with great food, plenty of laughs and some literal hit-and-miss rounds of darts 🎯

Most importantly, we strengthened the connections that keep our rapidly growing group moving forward together. Here’s to an even bigger 2026!

We at COG Advertising love to see our clients succeed. This year at AusRAIL 2025, we had the opportunity to design the exhibition stand for Infastech Engineered Fastening – a space that brought their innovation and engineering expertise to life on the show floor.

It’s always rewarding to collaborate with clients who are pushing their industries forward, and we’re thrilled to have played a part in showcasing Infastech’s fastening solutions to the rail sector.

If you're attending AusRAIL, be sure to pop over to Stand #651 to check it out!

We never miss an opportunity to bond over a decadent snack in the COG Melbourne office! This past week, we celebrated the birthdays of our A-team (alphabetically speaking):

🎉 Amy Morison (Head of Content) and
🎉 Anthony Malzone (Graphic Designer/Social Media Specialist)!

We all appreciate the unique skills and talents you both bring to the team – and your distinct tastes in desserts!

COG recently collaborated with DXC Technology and MHD Supply Chain News magazine to bring to life the webinar: Lessons from Suntory Oceania – Scaling Supply Chain Excellence with SAP.

The session unpacked how Suntory Oceania transformed its operations from legacy systems to a globally scalable, digitally integrated supply chain — supported by SAP and DXC Technology. From automation to AI, the discussion explored what’s driving the next generation of operational excellence.

At COG, we make events like this happen — from concept to content, promotion to post-event analytics. With deep expertise in industrial markets and our partnership network across leading media platforms, we help brands reach the right audience and create lasting engagement.

Our Kristie Weaver is doing her part, representing the COG / Wahoo team at the Good Food & Wine Show in Brisbane (it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it). If you're in the area, swing past our friends at Bisko Bakehouse for a tasty pick-me-up. Or a quick dance-off with Billy Biscuit* the gingerbread giant!

Spotlight on Sophie Rasmussen! Since joining COG in 2024, she’s grown her skills and role, bringing a razor-sharp eye for detail to every project.

Here's a bit more about her:

Q. Tell us about your role, how long you’ve been here, and what you love about your job.

A. I’ve been at COG for just over 12 months now and I am loving it. I’ve never been in a workplace with such a great team. Honestly love working with them all and appreciate the collaboration and support I get from everybody every day. I thrive in the fast-paced environment but also really enjoy having the odd project that I can really take my time on and iterate to perfection.

We love crafting and sharing stories like this one – a solar-powered, lightning-fast innovation that shows us the future. 🌞⚡

That is, a sustainable transport future.

This feature in ecogeneration talks to why ifm is backing Team Sonnenwagen Aachen in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025.

It’s a story about collaboration and a shared commitment to sustainable innovation. Why does ifm – global tech company and industrial automation expert – support this student-led solar team?

Check out the article below. You might just get inspired.

Meet Anthony “Mal” Malzone – one of our talented designers at COG!

Since joining in 2024, Mal has been bringing fresh ideas, creativity and a whole lot of passion to every project.

Here’s a little about him:

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do at COG. What do you love about your job?

A: I’m a Graphic Designer here at COG. I enjoy the variation of work that I do in a day. I can go from videos to digital banners to print ads and even marketing strategy, so it keeps me on my toes.

Q: Where did you grow up, what has influenced you culturally?

A: I grew up in Richmond (Melbourne, Australia). I was able to go to the Collingwood farms a lot as a kid. Being around animals and nature has influenced how I appreciate the environment around me.

Q: What are some of your hobbies / passions outside of work that people may not know about?

A: I’m into anything vintage. Cars, cameras and watches. I’ve recently assembled a few watches of my own just to learn a bit more about how they work!

Q: What’s a new skill you’ve learned recently that you’re excited about?

A: This year, I’ve been particularly focused on social media marketing and creating new offers for clients. It’s been a new area for me and great to spearhead new processes, as well as be part of projects from concept to end results, including the reports. I’m interested in how target markets react to certain designs. This creates building blocks for each new design, leading to something that really catches the eye.

Q: What is your idea of a dream holiday – any special trips you’d like to highlight from the past?

A: A dream holiday would probably be in the south of Italy, either by the water or in a lush, green environment. That combination of sun, a windy road to drive and good food – that’s heaven.

Recently, my partner and I went to Japan (I’ve been many times). This time we explored parts of the country I hadn’t seen – we did a circuit from Sapporo to Nagasaki that was incredible.

Q: Dogs or cats? (or neither – any pets?)

A: I’ve got a cat but like all animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, reptiles and birds!
