John Uliana, owner and developer of Annesley Bowral, threw a curve ball when he asked maverick to create a campaign for his retirement village (which was not yet developed).

The baby campaign was highly successful and much talked about ... evoking an emotive response in all readers (who can resist a beautiful baby?). The result was that in record time, no local was ignorant of Annesley Bowral’s presence and progress through clever headlines and matching copy.
