THE GOOD GUIDE

................................................................................................................................

The Good Guide is not just a guide, it’s a lifestyle choice. We are a modern day bible of goodness for the life you deserve. Get access to the best of the best with local, cool, innovative ideas, business and people. We’re not the Messiah; we’re a very naughty guide. Keep us handy at all times - print, online and phone app – and remember these words of wisdom:

I. Thou shall always remember to take well-deserved time out to pamper and preen. Thy body is a temple, and yours is the Taj Mahal.

II. Thou shall accept and attend every fabulous party thou art (and aren’t) invited to. You are V.I.Pigeon and deserve to be on the guest list with express entry, and on the red carpet.

III. Thou shall dare to strut the streets in thy best Carrie Bradshaw eight-inch-heels, or custom leather loafers. Reward thyself with a day of retail therapy. Local designers and artisans are best for the unique look.

IV.

IX.

Thou shall only imbibe local boutique beverages or indulge in the finest of local sparkling wines for every special occasion. A drink in hand is recommended only with days that end in ‘y’.

V. Thou shall support local talent by becoming a die-hard groupie.

VI.

Thou shall ditch the Big Mac comfort meal for fresh, delicious, nutritious foods from local providores. Local is lovely.

VII.

Thou shall get out of bed early on a Sunday morning to rummage for market treasures.

VIII. Thou shall brush the cobwebs from thy bicycle. Every day is a day to explore new ideas and discover what’s new by foot, bike, car, train, bus, monorail, CityCat, taxi or limo.

The future is bright, make sure you have great shades. Stay fabulous, as only you know how!

Lifestyle | Design | Art | Style | Fun | Explore | Ideas

Ingloriously improper and liberally ingenious, The Good Guide drives modern day lifestyle through the celebration of everything locally awesome. Equal parts culture, equal parts music, and equal parts business, with dashes of reflection, sass and polish, curl that little finger and quote hyper socially-observant prose.

Unconventional and unorthodox, prone to OCD and emotional outbursts of passion, yet utterly independent and custom-built, we are your lifestyle portal.

Welcome.

The Good Guide is an Ideas Agency.

We connect, create, celebrate, communicate and innovate with style, integrity and grace. Specialists in publishing, communication and events management, we are thought leaders in social and lifestyle media, marketing and PR, via a variety of dynamic platforms, online and beyond the page. We temper decades of experience and professionalism in advertising, artist and events management, communications and publishing, PR and marketing, with much child-like glee and many French martinis.

Niche is nice, and boutique is beautiful. Global meets Local and we love Glocal.

We know what you want even before you do, providing straightforward business answers: website hosting and construction, bespoke branding and design, email marketing solutions and custom builds from e-commerce to apps; all with optimal viewing experience. The Good Guide knows good business.

Join us and fly high.

In the same vein of Glenn Wheatley to Whispering Jack, QMusic is the wind beneath our killer music scene’s wings. The Godfather of Queensland’s music industry, the patron of local funk and soul, the defender of music rights and the champion of singer-songwriters, QMusic is pretty fly at just sixteen.

Dedicated to fostering aspiring artists, culture and community, QMusic is the perfect cultural wonderbra, finely enhancing Queensland’s most musical assets.

Situated in Australia’s music mecca, The Valley, they are the ring-leaders of cool.

As the arbitrator of BIGSOUND and the Queensland Music Awards, QMusic also leads the way as the doyen for our favourite music venues, street press and radio stations, while building connections and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.

The ‘Q’ to R&D in the Sunshine State, and just as omnipotent in Star Trek, QMusic is as Continuum as Jaco Pastorius. Think of them as that one awesome guy who always got invited to jams, because he had a perspex 8 string Les Paul that shot fireworks out of the neck when he hit a Darren Middleton riff.

Commercial producer, Nicole and editor, Digby are just two birdies in love.

After being deprived of imagination and creative expression in the commercial industry, they decided to join forces and migrate to a new nest. Here, the perfect love child has been born: Lester & May.

So that’s their story, but they want to tell yours.

Lester & May create tailored films for the contemporary couple. After unexpectedly venturing into the bespoke wedding industry, they fell in love with the never-ending potential for creativity and expression. They use mood boards, wedding plans, and your personal experiences to recreate your story in a style consistent with your wedding.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but nothing quite tells a story with the beauty and emotion of a personalised film. From your beginning tale to the glistening tear on your father’s cheek as you walk down the aisle, Lester & May is about capturing special moments in time and recreating them through an everlasting digital masterpiece.

Lester & May provide something different – gorgeous films that depict who you are and tell your story. Your day is unique, so capture the moment with all the justice it deserves.
