Red Tiki

What an amazing year 2011 was for us! Finalist in the international South by SouthWest Interactive Business Awards & the Australia wide MacFarlane Awards for Excellence in Web Design.

The slave family grew & we welcomed some insane new talent to tiki island including the likes of Sharma Heylen-Silvia, Charlie Apps, Claire Jarvis, Peter Dias & Tom Garner.

The Red Tiki King worked us like slaves in 2011 & wanted to reward our efforts with a fantastic tequila infused celebration. And so the Red Tiki Red Xmas party was born!

On November 1st, the brave slaves of Red Tiki Island banded together to form a Movember team, the Tiki Ticklers. With bare upper lips, they began the growth to raise awareness and money for men’s health.

A warm Sunday afternoon with clear blue sky gave us a perfect opportunity for some 'networking' and 'team building' at the Brown Brothers Wine and Food Festival. Held annually at the Cottesloe Civic Centre, this was the second year team tiki enjoyed the fruits of the festivities.

Greeted at the door with a glass of bubbly was the perfect way for us to start the day. We had a bunch of reasons to celebrate, Cam and Ella returned from their adventures at SxSW with an honourable mention and the happy couple had tied the knot in Vegas while away. There is no better ...

What a whirlwind the last month has been for the Red Tiki team & it isn’t slowing down! Since our South by South West nomination we have been literally inundated with publicity, interest & new clients.

The SxSW interactive festival in Austin, Texas this March was a truly amazing experience. Being nominated as the only Australian finalist for the 2011 SxSW Interactive Business Award was an absolute honour. Getting free tickets to attend the prestigious festival was extremely cool.

We learnt so much. The forums, workshops, lectures, keynotes & panels put on where ...
