48 hours on and the excitement hasn’t subsided, but the hangovers thankfully have. At the annual B&T Awards on Friday night we took home the silverware for PR Agency of the Year.
Glad to report the potentially embarrassing PR crisis following the temporary loss of the award has been averted, it’s back safely in our hands and has taken up permanent residence at OGB HQ. Big congrats to all the Beans for their brilliant successes this year and even bigger thanks to our epic bunch of clients.

We’re celebrating some exciting news today at Bean HQ. The work we’ve done over the last 12 months has received top industry acknowledgement, in the form of a shortlist nomination by B&T for PR Agency of the Year. If that wasn’t enough, they have also given our work for IKEA and Volley the nod for PR Campaign of the Year too.
Great stuff and congratulations Beans! A big thanks to all our clients too, who lets face it, are a bunch of serious legends as well.

If you’d like to stare at a bunch of pretty awesome people all day whilst knocking out first rate work for clients that truly understand what we do, we want to hear from you. Especially if you have an insatiable appetite for PR, popular culture, social media, shampoo and/or time travel.

One Green Bean has partnered with Havas Worldwide, a global media network whose output and values complement ours. Run principally from their HQ in Paris, they are present in over 100 countries and employ over 15,000 communications professionals; a network we’re looking forward to forging a close relationship with, as we collaborate on global and regional clients.
For the most part it’s business as usual for us, but it won’t be long before the Beans are regularly tapping into the Havas network to explore international opportunities. Plus we’ll occasionally be swapping the afternoon cuppa for an apéritif, in honour of our new extended family in France.
Ooh la la!

The Queen Victoria Building is undoubtedly one of Sydney’s most iconic and beautiful buildings. So when they came to us looking for a big idea that would bring to life their Autumn-Winter seasonal campaign – the Art of Life – we knew it had to be something pretty spectacular.
We decided to put on a series of public performances that were not only visually impactful and highly engaging, but also reflective of the QVB’s signature sophistication and style. It was agreed that the huge stained-glass central dome would form the focal point for the performances – not only for its inevitable wow factor, but also to draw people from all entrances into the heart of the building.
The next step was to find a performer who could match the grandeur of the dome rather than be overshadowed by it and, after much searching, we finally found him.
Shenzo Gregorio is a classically trained violinist who has mastered some of history’s most famous and complex compositions. The twist is that Shenzo performs these masterpieces while suspended in the air – twisting, tumbling and flying through the air at heights that would make your stomach flip.
For three days in June, three times a day, Sydney shoppers were shocked, moved and delighted by Shenzo’s death defying, highly energetic performances within the QVB dome. The crowds grew with each show, with the final performance seeing people spilling out the doors in their attempt to catch a glimpse of the famous flying violinist.
The campaign also caught the attention of Australian media, with Channel 9 and Channel 10 News both running stories following the first show, and 7PM Project and the Weekend Today Show both crossing live from subsequent performances. The pictures ran across some of the biggest news websites in the country, including news.com.au and all metropolitan and regional Fairfax websites, and Shenzo also flew across the front page of mX newspaper.
The events also made international news headlines – the UK’s Daily Mail online and Metro newspaper, the LA Times and New York Post online, and China Daily to name but a few – all running pictures of the impassioned virtuoso serenading Sydney from high in the QVB sky.
