Fitzroys, Melbourne’s largest privately owned Commercial Real Estate Agent, celebrated 40 years of business in style at the Persimmon Room at the National Gallery of Victoria last Thursday night (coincidentally NGV also celebrates turning 40 this year). Over 200 friends, clients, staff and ex-staff enjoyed fine food and wine at the gala event. Founder Rod Fitzroy spoke of the early days while current CEO Michael Donovan looked to the future, unveiling the new Fitzroys brand which will be launched to the public in the coming weeks.
tomorrow has managed the Fitzroys account for nearly 35 of those 40 years, and is still working with Rod Fitzroy on one of his new ventures, medical company Orpharma. On behalf of the entire agency we'd like to say congratulations to the Fitzroys team on a spectacular 40 years.

Melbourne’s property market has weathered the recent global storms (GFC 1 & 2) better than most cities in the world, but we've still seen a slow property market in 2012. An article we spied in The Financial Review on Sat 10/3/13, “Home Prices Preparing for Liftoff”, has buoyed our spirits and put the current climate in perspective. Both apartment and house prices in Melbourne have increased 2.2% in the last 3 months, and about 5% for the year, with the prediction that we could get close to a double digit increase for the year. Auction clearance rates are also back up to 70% plus. Perhaps we really have turned the corner. Strap yourselves in for an exciting 2013.

Once upon a time the internet was confined to your desktop computer. Then in 2008, the first iphone arrived. Millions of people clamoured over each other just to get their hands on one, but many didn’t realise the effect it would have on their lives. They now had the harnessed power of the internet in their pockets. They could reach the content they wanted whenever they felt like it. Fast forward to 2012 and you cannot escape the multitude of smart phones and tablets that are currently in the hands of everyday Australians. It is a golden age for instant communication, and that is spectacular news for advertisers. It means that everyone is within your reach, all of the time. All you need to know is how to reach them.
The first step in determining the best way to connect through a particular medium is to understand how and when that medium is used by consumers. These days 90% of our daily interactions with media is screen based, with multiple devices being utilised throughout the day interchangeably. The device we choose is often driven by the context, whether it be the amount of time we have, the goal, the location, or even our state of mind. It should however, be noted that 34% of the time we will simply turn to the screen that is closest.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to device usage, however, research shows us that there are certain trends and patterns that can point us in the right direction. Examples of this include a tendency for high smart phone usage around 8am and 6pm when people are travelling to and from work. They are looking for quick information on the go, and the smart phone is the best source for that content. The diagram below illustrates a typical day of device use.
In the end, by understanding when and how people digest content, we can tailor advertising campaigns that are more engaging and efficient. There are many more ways in which we can harness the power of digital advertising to generate results. If you’re interested in finding out more, get in touch with our Digital Director Anthony Bray at anthony@tomorrowagency.com.au. He’s always up for a chat.

You may have noticed that throughout the month of November our logo looked a little different. A little more distinguished and manly.

All the guys have jumped on board and grown some truly amazing mo’s which you can check out below, with more in depth mo by mo analysis on our blog.

One of the more unique projects we have undertaken in recent years would have to be Phoques Bay, King Island. Located half way to Tassie, and renowned for its fine meats and cheeses, you can buy a parcel of pristine beachfront land for a steal. And with lots over 100 acres, there’s room for your house, your personal driving range and even your own airstrip. Our segment on Channel 9’s “On-Display“ was the highest rating episode for the series so far. Go to phoquesbay.com.au for more information.

No, not for us. We're raising money (and awareness) for men's health in the time honoured Movember tradition. tomorrow is so keen to help that we have even changed our logo for the month, to really help in getting the message out there.

We'll keep you updated with how the mo growing is progressing over the next few weeks on our team page and here on our blog.

The Melbourne Racing Club recently awarded the contract for the project to the Beck Probuild Consortium. It will be built on five hectares of land next to the racecourse, Caulfield train station and Monash University.
The development is expected to take up to 15 years to complete and will include more than 1500 dwellings, and office and retail space, including a supermarket, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, and other health and recreational outlets.
A new street, The Boulevard, will be the heart of the project, which will compromise three primary precincts:
Precinct 1, to the west of the development, will be a low/medium density residential area.
Precinct 2 will be a mixed-use precinct with active streets frontages, tree-lined laneways with retail outlets, including a supermarket, specialty shops, and a restaurant hub established around the new Boulevard road link.
Precinct 3 will encompass the Smith Street precinct based in the eastern section of the site next to Caulfield Station comprising a mix of commercial, residential and retirement accommodation.
Melbourne Racing Club’s upgrade of the racecourse infield will include five activated precincts, exercise pods, a jogging trail, a lake pathway, lake boardwalk, barbeque, toilets, a picnic area, a dog off-leash area, and a junior football pitch.
Consortium director Sam Beck said “The project will deliver a new world class suburb for Melbourne.”
Probuild managing director Phil Mehrten said “It was a great outcome for Melbourne’s construction industry.”
“This will mean jobs and investment, and it’s a vote of confidence in the future of Melbourne’s development industry,” he said.
tomorrow agency will now work with the Consortium to finalise a brand for the project which will launch in late 2013.
