CreativeMornings /Auckland with The Lucky Taco
Friday 28 June, 8:00am - 9:30am
Q Lounge

If there’s one thing we love more than creativity at CreativeMornings… It’s food. And it just so happens that food is this month’s global theme! We are super lucky to have Sarah & Otis Frizzell fromThe Lucky Taco sharing their creative journey, unique experience and inspirational insights with our CreativeMornings community.

From the days of ad land (Sarah) and graffiti art (Otis), both incredible creative professionals in their own right, they have decided to combine forces and evolve it into a new creative venture, The Lucky Taco - So, what is it… And why?"Well, when we were in the States in August 2011, we were struck by the amount of tasty and diverse food available from food trucks. Not just any old trucks – super cool, funky eateries on wheels.

As passionate home cooks, we thought it’d be cool to do something similar in New Zealand. The food truck concept is HUGE in the States, and gaining momentum in Australia, but hasn’t really hit Aotearoa yet. There are a few popping up, but none of them have the same aesthetic as the classic Californian Taco Trucks."

CreativeMornings /Auckland with The Bread and Butter Letter
Friday 24 March, 8.00am - 9.30am
The Kitchen, Ponsonby

This month we have the global theme of Backwards, and the CreativeMornings Auckland team has decided to take a somewhat vintage approach to the notion. And who better to speak about that, than Sarah & Rose from The Bread and Butter Letter.

The Bread and Butter Letter is an Auckland boutique that sells New Zealand made, hand crafted products alongside curated vintage, and delicious and local loose leaf tea. They represent this months theme “backwards", as they not only sell retrospective items, but also because their business’ focuses are quite ‘backwards’.

While most companies continue to make mass-produced, low-quality items from foreign countries, T.B.A.B.L is strictly locally made, where items are made from the very hands of our creative community (including the owners themselves!).

The events they host encourage this communal focused idea, and some of their products suggest a slowing-down process like the days of old. The values are not unique to just the store, but are seen more and more in businesses of all sizes around the world.

It’s backwards, but it’s making a comeback.  Read more about the speakers, event details and register here »
