Christmas is a funny time in Australia, given that so much of the imagery we get is winter-oriented but it is so hot here at that time of year.

December 16th, 2011Happiness Is A Painted Dog
December 1st, 2011Painted Dog was commissioned by Bankwest to conduct the Happiness Survey, the results of which can be seen in a number of stories that appeared in The West Australian. Some of these stories were (you can click on the link to read the full story):
- Happy in WA
- Cost of living wipes off smiles
- Happiness is a friendly neighbour
- We love family, friends and the net
- Happiness is the great outdoors
The Bankwest Happiness Survey is currently planned to be repeated three times a year with a different focus each wave, so no doubt we’ll be talking about happiness again in the future.

Melbourne Cup Day At The Raffles
November 10th, 2011Although it seems like an age ago, it was only last week that the Painted Dog team went to the Raffles in Applecross to eat and drink a lot celebrate the Melbourne Cup.
A few people won money, lots of laughs were had and the hardy few retired to the downstairs bar after lunch to continue the socialising.
A few pictures to commemorate the day: Garreth, Sarah and Anna show the dress standards we at Painted Dog meet every day -
Jacinta and Justin enjoy their time at the Raffles:

Painted Dog, Young People and Alcohol
October 20th, 2011Painted Dog recently had the privilege of conducting research among young Western Australians aged 14 to 17 years on behalf of Michelle Scott, the Commissioner for Children and Young People. We explored young people’s views on alcohol and the harm it can cause to both individuals and the community.
The complex and delicate research was able to bring young people themselves into the debate around teen drinking and identified those strategies most likely to change risky behaviour. This project also provided an opportunity to utilise new and innovative qualitative techniques specific to children and young people. Michelle Scott recently wrote about the outcomes of the research – you can see her opinion piece here on the CCYP site.
Re-Introducing… Sandra!
September 29th, 2011Sandra has returned to Painted Dog after her time in the tertiary education sector. We’re all happy to see her back in the office, where she’s been catching up with existing clients and meeting new ones. Feel free to drop Sandra a line to say hi and welcome her back to Painted Dog!
Introducing… Garreth!
September 7th, 2011We’d also like to introduce you to Garreth who has started as an Account Executive. Garreth joins us from Synovate, bringing his market research experience with him (because it would have been a hard thing to leave behind).
Gareth is working with a number of different Painted Dog clients, so you’ll possibly meet him during an upcoming meeting.
Introducing… Russell!
September 1st, 2011Painted Dog would like to introduce you to Russell, who is joining us from BankWest. His role is that of Data Analyst, which means that we present him with files full of numbers that he turns into other, more usable numbers.
So he’s like a magician. Just with numbers instead of rabbits.
