Flash Mob at Melbourne Central’s Two Blocks Festival
Dancers from Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance appeared at Melbourne Central in a streetwear-inspired flash-mob. Thousands of onlookers brought a standstill to one of Melbourne’s most iconic spaces. Dancers wore clothing from Melbourne Central retailers including G-Star, Oakley and Henleys.
Two Blocks runs for the rest of this week. We can’t wait for Amy Meredith performing songs form their debut album ‘Restless’ this Thursday at 4:30pmn
State of Design
Ann Morrison was invited to speak at the State of Design seminar series on the topic of: Get Noticed – It’s Called PR Darling! Moderated by Kate Vandermeer, Director of iSpyStyle, the other speakers were the very talented Kate Hannaford, Director of Moth Design and Alice Blackwood, Editor of DQ magazine. The seminar was a sell out with the audience’s live tweets displayed on a big screen at the front of the room. It was exciting to see the live feedback, particularly with the important discussion on Ann’s gorgeous neck piece!
As a part of State of Design, Melbourne Central is hosting a series of events by the Department of Counter Culture. The Counter Point exhibitions confound use and exchange value as well as propose alternatives through installation, intervention and publication.
State of Design is on until 25 July, check out www.stateofdesign.com.au

LA Calling!
We wanted to share a lovely note from Chiara who is holidaying in the USA. For her birthday we gave her a spa treatment at the Beverly Wilshire hotel (yes, the same one from Pretty Woman).
Frankie was also in LA recently and had lunch at the Beverly Wilshire. She suggested it would be the perfect gift for when Chiara went.
Sounds like she enjoyed it!

Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to write to say a big thank you to you all from LA! As I have just had my birthday gift, and WOW it was amazing!
I was meant to go yesterday however due to lots of tourist site seeing I had to change it to today. The Beverly Wilshire hotel spa is so beautiful, it made me feel so special, and very LA!! The trip has been amazing so far, and very busy.
Hope everything is well in the office – thinking of you all, and thank you again for the most generous gift.
See you soon,

Dye to be Red!
In a tribute to Australia’s new prime minister Julia Gillard, Nova listeners and spunky button pusher Ash Williams went red live on air with Hughesy & Kate.
Big thanks to the Victorian Finalists of the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy who made this happen. Each of the three lucky listeners walked away with a hair make over by the experts at L’Oréal Professionnel, a year’s supply of L’Oréal Professionnel hair care and styling products, 2 tickets to attend the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy Awards, hosted in Melbourne by Wil Anderson on Sunday July 4th and a Pepe Jeans $150 voucher.

Happy EOFY!!
To celebrate a brilliant year, the AMPR team headed off to Kamel in Albert Park for some delicious Middle-Eastern fare and many laughs (largely due to our creative use of Persian fairy floss).
What made it even better was enjoying an amazing magnum of Krug- a wonderful gift from LMFF Chairman Laura Anderson. THANKS LAURA – it was so yum!
Big thanks must go to all our clients for being true partners in AMPR’s success. It’s been a great year and we’ve loved working with you all.
