From Websites to Wagging Tails: bellette's journey through 2023

As we start to draw the curtain on another whirlwind year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the highs, lows, and everything in between. Let's dive into the year that was, with a generous sprinkle of honesty, a dash of light-heartedness, and an extra helping authentic charm.


Soaring to New Heights

One thing's for sure – bellette has been riding the wave of success in 2023! Our services in recruitment campaigns, social media, and marketing support have been more sought after than ever. It's been heartening to witness a diverse range of organisations knocking on our virtual doors, seeking our expertise. Whether big or small, we've welcomed them all with open arms and a determination to make a lasting impact.


The Full Package: Clients Can't Get Enough

We like to think of ourselves as the full package, and our clients seem to agree! This year, we've witnessed a beautiful trend – clients not just sniffing around but diving in with all paws. From recruitment magic to social media sorcery and marketing mastery, they're taking full advantage, and we absolutely love it. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our clients thrive with the comprehensive support we provide.


Dancing with Staff Movements

Ah, the dance of personnel comings and goings – a perpetual rhythm in the business world. This year, our small but mighty team saw some movement, with Courtney joining the ranks and Patricia seeking new adventures. In a team where every member is a crucial note in the symphony of success, we're immensely proud of each team member's contribution. Their dedication and passion amplify our collective strength, proving that greatness knows no size. We can't wait to see how their journeys unfold in the chapters to come, as we continue to thrive and conquer as a resilient and dynamic team.


Websites R US

We flexed our creative and project management muscles and smashed out over forty websites this year. Each site, meticulously crafted, reflects the unique essence of our diverse clientele. From sleek corporate platforms to dynamic e-commerce hubs, we tackled the challenge with passion and dedication. The collaborative efforts of our team and visionary clients resulted in a symphony of stunning web designs, highlighting the power of innovation. As we reflect on this milestone, we celebrate not just quantity but quality, ensuring each website stands as a digital masterpiece, a testament to our commitment to excellence. Here's to the artistry of the web, and to the many more digital canvases awaiting our creative touch in the years to come!


Scuba: Our Office Guardian

Brad’s four-legged companion has become an integral part of our workspace, infusing it with his unique charm. Scuba isn't just here for the cuddles (and lunch-time crumbs); he’s embraced the responsibility of being our office guardian. Step aside, security systems – Scuba's on duty! (And apologies to the postie – we promise, he's friendly!)


Highlights and Lowlights: The Good, and the Bad

Now, let's talk about the things that tugged at our heartstrings and those that made us cringe. From moments we cherished to challenges we faced, 2023 had it all.


Things We Loved:


  • Pulling together and smashing out over 40 websites
  • Seeing our work in the wild!
  • The efficiencies gained with our new buddy Chat-GPT


Things We Hated:


  • The printer refusing to print - YOU HAVE ONE JOB!
  • Waiting for the post
  • Juggling meeting schedules across three time zones amid the daylight savings shuffle.


As we close the chapter on 2023, we're heading into the future with tails wagging and aspirations soaring. Here's to another year of success, growth, and, of course, the unexpected joys that Scuba brings to our daily grind.


Cheers to the Christmas break and a fantastic New Year!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in digital marketing, it can be worth even more. In today’s fast-paced, visually driven world, high-quality photography and video are no longer optional—they’re essential. They capture attention, communicate your message, and create an emotional connection with your audience faster than any text can. First Impressions Matter Your visual content is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand. Whether it’s a stunning product shot on your website, a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, or a professionally captured team photo, visuals set the tone for how your brand is perceived. High-quality imagery communicates professionalism, attention to detail and authenticity—three things that instantly build trust with your audience. Boost Engagement and Drive Results Did you know that social media posts with images or videos get significantly more engagement than those with text alone? Visual content is more likely to be shared, liked and commented on, helping your brand reach a wider audience. Videos, in particular, are marketing gold. They keep people on your website longer, increase conversion rates and make your brand more memorable. A well-crafted video tells your story in a way that words alone never could. Stand Out in the Scroll The average person scrolls through miles of content every day. To grab their attention, you need visuals that are not just good—they need to be great. High-quality photography and video content cut through the noise, making your brand stand out in even the busiest feeds. Think vibrant colours, sharp images and engaging angles. These elements catch the eye and make your audience pause, click and engage. Emotionally Connect with Your Audience Photography and video have a unique power to evoke emotion. A candid shot of your team, a heartfelt customer testimonial, or a beautifully edited product video can create a genuine connection that words often can’t achieve. When your audience feels something, they’re more likely to trust your brand, remember your message and take action. Refresh Your Content and Fall in Love with Your Marketing in 2025 If your visuals are feeling tired, now’s the perfect time for a refresh. At bellette, we create stunning, high-quality photography and video content that captivates your audience, drives results and fits your budget. Whether it’s a product shoot, a corporate video, or social media content, we’ll tailor our services to your needs—big or small. Let us handle the hassle so you can focus on growing your business. Get in touch today and let’s create something worth falling in love with.

As we close the book on 2024, it’s time to reflect on what has been an exciting and transformative year at bellette. We’ve achieved incredible milestones, welcomed new faces, bid farewell to old friends, and tackled some truly amazing projects. Here’s a glimpse into the year that was. WELCOMING NEW TALENT This year, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jaime, who joined us all the way from Spain via Melbourne! Jaime has embraced life in Alice Springs and has been exploring the NT with gusto. From adventures at Tilmouth Well for the Central Land Council’s Ranger Camp to trips to Tennant Creek for our NT Government stock library photoshoot and capturing footage for Barkly Regional Council, Jaime has quickly become an integral part of the bellette team. Looking ahead, we’re excited to welcome Luke, our new graphic designer, who will officially join us in January 2025. We’ve also had Alice local, Hayley stepping in for some casual marketing and social media work, bringing her fresh energy and ideas to the team. CELEBRATING ACHIEVEMENTS Cherise has been on fire this year, delivering a string of standout projects that we’re incredibly proud of. From the Yes Unlimited 40th Anniversary Report to the impactful 2023/24 CAWLS Impact Report and video, Cherise’s creative brilliance has been front and centre. She’s also been working on some exciting updates to the HutSix branding—stay tuned for the reveal! One of our proudest collaborations this year has been working with the Power and Water Remote Water Demand team. The collaborative nature of this project has been an absolute highlight, showcasing the power of teamwork and mutual creativity. Noosh has had a blockbuster year, and the numbers speak for themselves. We’ve just hit BJ3000—our 3000th project code—and quoted over 200 projects in 2024 alone. That’s an average of four projects a week! KEEPING IT GOING Brad has been a whirlwind of activity, expertly juggling his time between bellette and HutSix while keeping up with his BMX competitions and volunteering commitments. His dedication and energy never fail to inspire us, and we’re constantly in awe of how he balances it all. We don't know what we'd do without the one keeping us all together and sane; the steadfast, multitask queen Amy! She's been keeping up the energy all year round, stepping in and stepping up wherever help is needed! And of course, we can’t forget Scuba, our beloved office dog and self-appointed security guard. Scuba makes sure no visitor goes unnoticed with his enthusiastic barking, but let’s be honest—he’s really just here for the treats and perfecting his lunchtime begging routine. He’s added plenty of laughs (and a bit of noise) to our days in 2024! CHEERS TO 2025 As we wrap up 2024, we want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible team, clients, and community for making this year one to remember. Here’s to new adventures, more amazing projects, and continued growth in 2025!
