In the cover story of Anthill’s launch Edition, way back in 2003, we posed the question, “Who’s carrying Australian Innovation.” Five year’s later, we have a new Government, a new Minister (for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) and a newly launched series of stakeholder consultations to kick-start a Federal ‘Review of Australia’s National Innovation System.’…
Until recently, having your DNA tested meant you were either under scrutiny from the law, uncertain of your parentage or concerned that you were predisposed to life-threatening disease. Not the rosiest group of scenarios. Now, American company 23andMe is offering a Personal Genome Service to thoroughly analyse your DNA… for fun. All you need to…
Anthill helped put together Pitch Club’s third event, held in Melbourne late last month. I had a great time, watching nine eager business builders pitch their cunning concepts to an audience of supportive fellow entrepreneurs and investors. But one aspect of the night stood out as memorable above all else. The most ill-prepared, disorganised, unpracticed…
So you’ve had enough of the dog next door barking all night, not to mention the techno music two doors down. And, what’s that, it’s the third time this year someone has broken into your car? Now you can share your inside knowledge about your street/neighbourhood online and research the opinions of candid locals in…
Wow! The comments generated by yesterday’s blog post certainly had us on the edge of our seats and doing some serious introspection. Firstly, some quick responses… The category thing: We did add some categories after initial feedback and I’ve also added a new field today – ‘Create an award category’. Of course, we can’t have…
FreeRice is an online game that does more than test the rectitude of your lexicon. For every word you correctly define (multiple choice), the UN’s World Food Programme donates 20 grains of rice to needy people somewhere around the globe. Money to buy and distribute the rice is provided by companies advertising on the website.
Thirty must be a magic number. Within 30 minutes of launching our 30under30 awards program last Wednesday, we’d received over 30 nominations. They came from every State and Territory. They represented a good cross-section of our award categories. But there was one notable, unnerving discrepancy with the data. Where were the women? We can only…
Posted by Paul Ryan, Editor, Anthill With the launch today of Anthill’s inaugural 30under30 competition, it’s worth underscoring the growing role younger entrepreneurs are playing in the Australian business landscape… and beyond. And who better to place this exciting evolution in broader economic context than Austrade’s Chief Economist and regular Anthill contributor, Tim Harcourt? Are…
Last week we launched the Anthill Editors’ Blog (I assume you know this because you are now reading it). Our motivations are fairly obvious. This space will give Paul Ryan (Editor), me and the rest of the Anthill editorial crew a space to share some of the more topical events, news and opinions that come…
Last week, ACP Magazines made an announcement that, to my mind, simply didn’t make sense. The Bulletin, Australia’s oldest continuing weekly magazine, would be closing after 128 years on Australian shelves.

Our clients don’t work with us to better understand numbers and charts, they work with us to better understand people and markets. This might sound like a simple concept, but true intelligence often is. Colmar Brunton Colmar Brunton is Australia’s largest independent ad-hoc market research agency.
