It’s not often that a communications strategy involves decreasing visibility, but Optus did exactly that last weekend at the Gold Coast 500 Supercars’ round.
It gifted long-term not-for-profit partner StandByU Foundation its usual front bumper sponsorship spot on the Mobil 1 Optus Racing Walkinshaw Andretti United car of driver Chaz Mostert.

By Phil Sim in Marcoms News on Sunday, 20th October 2024 at 2:02pm
Two marketing communication professionals on opposite sides of the world have alleged that an Australian start-up founder exposed his genitals to them during online business meetings.
Last week, Ms. Kiran Deep Sandhu, a corporate communications coach in India, reported to Bangalore police a man she identified as Joe Anthony, alleging he exposed himself after requesting a discovery meeting via the TopMate online networking service.
"When I joined, the name displayed was "Joe," which I confirmed was the same individual. However, upon asking him to turn on his camera, I was met with a deeply shocking sight — a naked man with his private parts exposed," she wrote.
The incident left her "feeling traumatized and vulnerable", she added.
On Friday, Canadian branding consultant Ms. Rose Alkamisi also alleged that a man, who identified himself as Joe Anthony, had exposed himself on a Zoom call, again, under the pretense of a consultation enquiry.
