A Teary goodbye for Cathy!



After five years working at MICOMM, our Communications Manager Cathy Herley is moving on to greener pastures.
Cathy has recently taken up a Community Relations position at Rio Tinto Yarwun in Gladstone.
Cathy has come a long way in her MICOMM career, from ruling lines in the MICOMM quote book to working on projects for major players in the mining and industry sector throughout Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Cathy's invaluable source of knowledge and experience will be greatly missed. It was extremely sad to say goodbye, but we wish her all the best for the future.

Wedding Bells

Clean sweep for MICOMM at multimedia awards



We are pleased to announce that MICOMM scooped the pool at the recent Queensland Multimedia Awards, taking out three major prizes for our outstanding video production and multimedia work.

We took out gongs for best documentary, best training/educational DVD, and best corporate multimedia presentation:

MICOMM e-learning

Best Multimedia Presentation—corporate branding

Integra Coal, ‘Taking Safety Home’

Best Multimedia Presentation—training/educational

‘Shannon’s Story’, part of BMA Goonyella Riverside Fatigue Management Program

Best Documentary

Another of our projects also achieved finalist status in the documentary category:

Blackwater International Coal Centre, 'Bottle Tree Relocation'

Best Documentary

These awards are a testament to the quality of our work and the talent of our people. We are overwhelmed with our success, and are consistently proving our credentials, taking out awards in 2007 and 2008, and now three prizes in 2009.

MICOMM’s award winning documentary and educational presentations were developed for BHP Billiton Mitsui Alliance and Vale respectively, and were commissioned to deliver strong safety messages to the workforce. The winning corporate multimedia presentation was developed as a self-promotion for MICOMM to highlight the features of its new e-learning programs.

New Recruits for MICOMM

MICOMM is excited to welcome Jess O'Neill to our team. Jess is soon to graduate from a Bachelor of Professional Communications and will commence as a Communications Advisor in early November. Jess recently completed the Kokoda Trail which was part of a fundraising venture for Camp Quality. We reckon if she can conquer that challenge then she is more then prepared for life as a MICOMM employee!

MICOMM is also excited to welcome Brodie Hock to our Production team. Brodie graduated from CQUniversity in 2007 with a Bachelor of Multimedia Studies and has serious passion for the design and multimedia industry. We're excited about the skills and experience he will bring to our team!

MICOMM battles 'dusty' conditions

Our camera crew had to battle some extremely difficult conditions on a recent progress filming and photography trip to Origin's Talinga Gas Development Project in Chinchilla.

Battling dust and wind is all in a day's work for our crew! Check out some photos from the visit.

E-learning, and more e-learning

We are pleasantly surprised at the response to our revamped e-learning capabilities. We are currently working on some projects that use e-learning in innovative ways. Our clients have realised it isn't just for inductions-it's an efficient and cost-effective way to convey important information to time-poor managers also!
