After a year of surprises in 2020, who would have thought that the year 2021 would continue to deal with the pandemic. A new normal of constant changes started to emerge, and it culminated into the new normal for us. As a team that is constantly looking forward, we accept that the world will be in a never normal, one that will always be in flux and we need to keep navigating it with new ideas and strategies. Throughout the madness that is 2021, we are truly grateful for the support of our clients, partners and team members.Among the highlights of 2021, we have picked out a few significant ones to share with you:
-
Our crazy co-founders decided to launch a new advertising platform, Brilliant-Online, for businesses large and small to tell their stories. We started off small with just a few stories, a self-made logo, and a team of colleagues crazy enough to take a chance on us, and we are thrilled that Brilliant-Online is growing from strength to strength! Check out the Brilliant-Online multichannel interactive magazine.

In the first half of 2021, Australia was rocked by widespread flooding that displaced individuals, families and businesses. We wanted to help the local communities. So we offered the use of Brilliant-Online as the platform for businesses to share their stories. Later in the year, we began a short series of “Let’s Talk” forums for local businesses around the world to meet and get together to share ideas and discuss topics relating to how businesses can thrive in the never normal. We were immensely grateful for the free flow of ideas in the online discussions.The discussions were captured in an eBook. Click on the button below to view different business perspectives.
We continue to support marketing and communications professionals with free resources and tools, so take some time to review them.
Operationally, we have been focusing on building up a stronger team adept in content and technology at Vermilion Pinstripes and making efforts to make it a great place to work.

Take care and stay safe, everyone!
