There’s so much media around us, trying to outshout each other and get their Key Messages in our heads; it seems to get harder to get through all the time.
Some seem to think that it’s about shouting even louder; blast Facebook, buy Twitter friends and just repeat the message over and over again. Social media seems to only add to the information overload, and now we seem to reach everyone but touch noone. 
Organisations and people who communicate with purpose don’t seem to need to shout. People just naturally connect to the message.
This Short Takes is about learning from people who communicate with purpose and build a following based on shared values. http://vimeo.com/48714077/

For those who aren’t Crazy Dutch People who insist on riding the bikes everywhere, Newtown can seem a bit daunting parking wise. Here are some parking tips for when you visit the HWP headquarters. King Street parking is possible, but a bit off a long shot in the evening. There’s a carpark behind HWP on Wilson St, as well as the Franklins car park on the corner of Lennox and Church Streets. If all else fails, try the Camperdown Memorial Park on Federation Road. Our address is level 1, 270 King Street in Newtown. Here’s the Google Maps link.
