Stuff We've Done

Splendour in the Grass (Artist Management System)
Splendour in the Grass is an annual festival held in Byron Bay, catering for an audience of almost 20,000 people that come to enjoy the variety of music & entertainment that the Splendour crew are renowned for providing.

To bring it all together, the promoters needed a system that allowed for the collection and management of all the information required to ensure that the artists & their crew get everything they need - on and off stage. This includes riders, stage plots/input lists, guest tickets - the works.

To do this, we worked closely with the SITG crew, and developed a comprehensive 7-step system that took the users through the process logically, and allowed for server-side processing and output of the database in a variety of formats to be used by the various people that needed access to the information. Unfortunately, we can't show you the full system, because it's super secret. If, however, you would like to find out more, feel free to contact us!

Underworld Recruitment (Website, Database)
The underworldrecruitment.com website is part of two things; firstly it serves as a means to flesh out further aspects of our Fall/Winter 2007 season story and through this process work as part of an integrated marketing initiative that will be launched to create awareness and interest in the brand and story both on and offline. It was imperative that they had a visually appealing, unique site - quickly.

"FlipCreative once again achieved these requirements and exceeded our expectations, reaffirming our choice and building our relationship with their firm even stronger. It's this dedication and level of service that motivates me to give all my online projects to the Flip Creative team."

The Grates (Website, Database, e-Card)
Working with a the extremely creative and talented minds that form The Grates is a pleasure for people in our line of work. Having the band themselves spearheading the artistic direction and providing a solid basis to work from allowed us to create something that was extremely friendly, fun, cool, and perfect for the loyal fans of the band. It also allowed the entire project to remain very personal to The Grates.

Featuring information about their music, merchandise (check out the socks!), downloads, a community forum, and a whole bunch more, there is enough to keep any Grates fan occupied for some time.

The site is driven by a heavily modified version of our FlipSite Content Management System, that allows the band to update the site with absolute ease from the road.

French Man Films (Website, Database)
French Man Films is an independant production partnership based in Brisbane. They have produced music videos for bands such as Flamingo, The Grates, and Kid Kay Ferris. They also handle Traffic Broadcasting for the Brisbane Metropolitan Transport Management Centre. Their website is funky, simple, and information driven.

As our business is based on looks we needed a site that looked the biz. We chose Flip Creative because they have a proven track record of making people look cool! We are a small company with no I.T department - so the ability to update our site without having any HTML knowledge was essential. Flip Creative have delivered us a sweet site backed-up by a user-friendly content management system that makes Microsoft Word seem complicated. Thanks guys!

Nathan Tasker (Website, Database, e-Marketing System)
Sydney-based Nathan Tasker is a man with a mission. Like most singer-songwriters, he is keen to tell his lyrical stories to all who will listen. For almost a decade, he has been working towards perfecting his craft. He has recorded seven albums and has performed at more than 1500 concerts.

This site needed to be fresh, and work in tandem with the artwork created for the album. We think that this site is FANTASTIC - we are extremely pleased with the results. This site contains the full suite of Flip Creative modules, streaming music, media galleries, a blog/journal updated by Nathan himself, and a tonne of other interactive content to keep users busy. www.nathantasker.com

Bernard Fanning (Website, Database, e-Marketing System)
Tea & Sympathy, Bernard Fannings first solo album, released on October 30, was one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2005. To coincide with the release of this album, we were engaged to build a website that (hopefully!) would match the quality of the music.

The website employs our FlipTout marketing system, that allows users to sign up to a mailing list, and administrators of the site to easily broadcast e-mails to thousands of people in mere seconds with the push of a button - extremely useful for a site of this size and stature.

As for the design - the site speaks for itself - using imagery and concepts from the album, we put together a site that needed to feel personal, classy, yet simple in structure. The site features fun easter eggs, picture gallery, downloadable media - everything Bernard. It didn't hurt us at all that we were able to use such a phenominal artist as the basis for a killer website. Tell us we're wrong! www.bernardfanning.com

Secret Service (Website, Flash Logo)
A simple site for Secret Service Artist Management. The site is intended only for brief information regarding the bands that Secret Service manage, and only required simple contact and band information. We came up with a gritty, funky, and slick one page design that reflected the style and tone of the company.

Pet Pals (Website, Database, Shopping Cart, e-Marketing System)
Pet Pals is a Queensland company devoted to providing quality pet products online and wholesale. They are the Sole Distributor for Louisdog and Little Bones in Australia, and specialize in designer ranges. Their promise to their customers is to continually offer new and exciting pet products from around the world.

Being a boutique online store, Pet Pals required a fancy, elegant, yet fun website. We were able to create this through the use of upmarket cartoon style graphics, with bright and funky colors. They have the full suite of Flip Creative products working for them and their store - and having the cutest pet apparel around doesn't hurt!

Extra Tasty Clothing Co. (Website, Database)
Extra Tasty Clothing is a boutique street ware label based in Sydney, Australia. Stocked in some of the funkiest boutique retailers around Australia, they required a website to serve as a platform to convey their ideals and their stories, provide easily accessible information to their retailers, and connect with their consumers.

"Flip Creative had the creative style and freedom, and were on the same wave length with our own design ethos. This led to a great collaboration, a very cool direction and ultimately a website that we're proud of, and which maintains the attitude found in our clothing.

The crew at Flip Creative were professional, fast working, and a lot of fun to collaborate with. I'll definitely be giving them my work in the future and strongly recommend you do likewise."

Dew Process (Website, Database, e-Marketing System)
Dew Process is an Australian record label based in the sunny city of Brisbane, Queensland. In between games of pinball and the occasional foosball championship the team are all about producing genre-bending music from Australia and around the globe.

As such, the website had to relate the creativity, style, and uniqueness of the record label. This was achieved through various means, mixing Brisbane icons with modern art trends, all fused by coarse and gritty texture. We think the results are phenominal. Check it out for yourself!

Firelabs (Website, Database, e-Marketing System)
Firelabs is an independent web-based resource for the building industry. It lists passive fire protection products and systems and provides documentary evidence of compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA).

The main focus of this site is the document center, that allows administrators of the site to oversee a library of documents that is managed by admin-approved users of the website. Advanced functionality allows for secure, private documents, with users able to accept or deny requests made by other users to view their documents. The design is sleek and corporate.

Drag (Website, Database, e-Card)
"As Powderfinger took a well earned break in 2005, Drag brought to light Darren Middleton's creative insight, with Darren upfront on guitar and vocals, long-time collaborator Mark McElligott on drums, Sean Hartman on bass and Matt Murphy on keys."

The Drag website needed to reflect the music itself - gritty, yet elegant. This is done through the use of colour drained photography of the band and props, contrasting with the sketch artwork of the band. The result remains consistent with the bands image yet allows enough flexibility to expand this into a media driven, community active website.

For the Drag e-Card, photography from the music video for 'You & I' was used to create an short clip to advertise tour dates and Drag's new album, 'The Way Out'.

Certifire (Website)
Certifire provides to users of passive fire protection products an independent third party certification that products comply with the requirements of the Certifire Schedules and Certificates if used in accordance with the manufacturers specifications and Certifire schedules and certificates.


A purely information driven website, the design was to remain corporate and extremely functional for information display.
