The last couple of months went by in a whirl! The month of November saw Kirsty out of the office as much as she was in it - and working remotely from Victoria at the front and back end.
It all started with the Summer Sunset Vibes event for Ladies Who Long Lunch and ended with another party for Ocean Network. But in between, there were many other outings. Every Thursday saw our littlest family members joining Kirsty in the office, where we discovered baby rave dancing, hanging out in the park and the teddy collection from the cupboard!
To cap off many staff dinners, gallery openings, client meetings & drinks, we attended the Raise it for Redcliffe end of year event announcement of raising $1,000,000 + pitched in with the 2025 Share The Dignity 'It's in the bag' campaign.
Loads of fun to recap for November! #socialocean #ladieswholonglunch #oceannetwork #familygoals #sharethedignity #raiseitforredcliffe
We're fielding a lot of questions about events at the moment. Makes sense with the silly season upon us. But the first secret to any event success starts with an excellent venue selection. Our recent end of year celebration for Ladies Who Long Lunch is a fine example of that!

What a month we've had!!! It was perfect to start the month with some time away, but after that.... There's been too many things to list π instead we'd love to say thanks to all those we've worked with across October - it's been massive & we wouldn't have survived it without wonderful people around us.
Cheers to you π₯

We say cheers to our teachers today. Wishing a very happy World Teacher's Day to all our Queensland Teachers! QLD celebrates the day early due to the global day falling on school holidays. We've been privileged to work with hundreds of teachers around the state since Social Ocean started in 2018 - they're the reason why our business started in the first place, and they continue to bring us great energy, exciting projects and continued inspiration from the passion they have for their important roles within our community. We are so lucky to assist both Teachers and administrative staff each and every year!
And that's a wrap/recap on our September! What a great month ππ #SocialOcean
The power of networking can create wonderful impact on you personally, and on your business professionally.
This is a great story about our Candle Mate Shirlee from Starfish Scarborough who reached out to her Designer Mate Kirsty from @socialoceanau and then reached out to her Printer Mate Evan from @kwikkopyeaglefarm to get new product packaging organised for an upcoming event.
By the way, you can order these sensational smelling candles and diffusers in this custom-made scent from Shirlee or at the upcoming Jetty 2 Jetty fun run in Moreton Bay.

Earlier this week, Kirsty was able to tour around some of the Moreton Bay Christmas Trees off the Redcliffe Peninsula, thanks to Robyn and Terry at @busyconnecting
We know those of you local to Redcliffe probably know that Kirsty started a local Facebook Group for fellow Redcliffe locals who also share the annual interest in Christmas Light touring.
This year the group has grown significantly! But if you aren't in it, where are you? Search "Redcliffe Christmas Lights 2023", for the local low down on lights you should check out... or to add yours!
Across the last month, Kirsty has been working toward to the Moreton Bay Says No 2 Violence event with her Steering Committee peers. On Friday hundreds of our peers, business connections, community organisation pals and family joined us in raising our voices against violence.
Emotions were big. Tears were shed. But smiles always prevail with support of each other. We've learnt so much along the way. Though our area of action is working on logistics and promotions, the conversations and education and advocacy we've been honoured to be a part of is special for us.
If you missed this event, and want to join next year, the date is Friday 31st May 2024.
