Meeum

31/08/2026

Meeum is working with Barking Gecko Arts on their long-term digital strategy, and they've just launched their new strategic plan for 2027 to 2031 alongside it.

The idea at the heart of it: kids aren't just future adults, they're creative people *right now* and what we build around them shapes who they become. The vision is a better future, shaped by creative children, wherever they live.

We're running the research that will shape what comes next. There are three short surveys - teachers, arts organisations, and teaching artists.

They’re all at https://www.meeum.com/articles/bga-strategy-research/
If one applies to you, we'd love to hear from you.

If you know someone who should be heard, especially anyone working with young people in regional and remote areas, please share this far and wide.

As part of the research, we’re also working with educators and other professionals in the field. If you’re working with kids and keen for a 15 minute chat, please get in touch or comment below – DMs are open!

This is "Imagine Bigger: A Better Future Shaped by Creative Children" by Barking Gecko Arts on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Free workshop for business owners: Website Tune-up, a content strategy blueprint.

Wednesday 16 September, 10am to 12pm, at Merri-bek City Council in Coburg.

Your website might look fine on the surface and still be doing nothing for you. Outdated pages, missing alt text, meta descriptions nobody wrote, headings that don't follow any real structure. None of it happens on purpose, it just piles up while everyone's busy running the business.

We're running through a practical, repeatable process to fix that: content goals and audience needs, a simple content audit, headings and meta descriptions that actually work, accessibility essentials, image and media optimisation, and where AI tools can help with a content refresh (and where they don't).

Bring a laptop if you want to work on your own site during the session.

Hosted by Business Merri-bek. Tickets via Humanitix, link in comments/bio.

Barking Gecko Arts (BGA) is one of Western Australia’s most enduring theatre and arts companies, delivering creative experiences for children and families for over three decades.

BGA is now developing a long-term digital strategy, working with Meeum to understand how digital creative experiences could better support teaching and learning for young people.

We want to hear from anyone working with young people in the arts, in education, or as a teaching artist or creative facilitator. Your knowledge and experience will directly shape what BGA builds next.

Each survey takes around five minutes. All responses are handled confidentially by Meeum and grouped into themes.

Links to the relevant survey are in the comments.

Thank you!

Free workshop alert!

Digital Sovereignty - Don't Build Your Castle on Someone Else's Land.

But what does that even mean?

Most of us have built our businesses on platforms we don't own. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok. What happens if they disappeared tomorrow? What happens if you log on to Instagram and everything you've built over the years is just gone?

It's already happened to countless creators around the world - accounts banned, suspended, or just wiped and there was nothing they could do about it. Years of work, audiences they'd spent years building, gone overnight.

The algorithms reward attention, not intention. You end up making content for the platform, not for your audience. And that relationship with your audience isn't really yours - it belongs to Facebook, or Instagram, or whoever you're renting space from.

We'll work through the problem and what to do about it. Bring your questions!

📅 Wednesday 20 May, 10am
📍 Brunswick Design and Innovation Hub (Brudi)
🎟️ Free - details and tickets in the comments
☕ Morning tea afterwards

See you there!
