Congratulations Bob and the Unity Team, it's a pleasure working with you.

(The Visual Obsession Crew)

With a clear win for the mayoral position in Cairns, Mr Manning and six of his Unity team are set to join council ranks. Visual Obsession is proud to have assisted with this successful campaign by delivering their message throughout the campaign with the use of online and print media.The message of Bob Manning and his Unity Team was clear, and how to extend this to the community was the task set for Visual Obsession. By using progressive technology and accomplished staff, Visual Obsession produced a TV Ad, various print media and advertising, the Vote Unity Website and set-up the Social Media marketing.

The outcome of the election held by Cairns Regional Council was a victory and the final count revealed Mr Manning held 55 per cent of the mayoral vote which was 34 points clear of his closest rival, Ms Schier. This success demonstrates the community’s support of a back to basics spending. The Far North’s economy is struggling to recover from the global financial crisis and Bob Manning has vowed to restore confidence and opportunities, synonymous with the wave of success in the 80’s & 90’s.

It’s easy to talk about what’s wrong with the economy in Cairns but it’s going to take a huge effort to make it right.
