Emma, OMD Australia’s Marketing Director was stuck in traffic on the way home from work, frustrated & upset she was late to pick up the kids again. Anthony,their Trading Director was sitting on the bus on the way to work from Bondi, staring wistfully at the pumping surf, wishing he could get out there. They knew it was time for a change.
