NEW & NOTEWORTHY

Geelong Cats, True Champions

GeelongCover_LR_small.jpgToday The Slattery Media Group published Geelong Cats, True Champions, a 100-page souvenir publication celebrating Geelong’s 2009 premiership win. The book captures all the moments from an epic Grand Final that was as hard fought as any in recent memory.

Geelong Cats, True Champions features action and celebration photos of every Geelong player on Grand Final Day, a quarter-by-quarter analysis of the big game, a detailed match review and report; match day statistics, and all the greatest moments from the 2009 season. Plus, a round-by-round season review, and revealing essays, including:

  • Winning two premierships in three years: what it took for the Geelong Cats to rebuild from last year’s loss to claim its eighth Premiership.
  • Norm Smith medallist Paul Chapman and his influence on the 2009 Grand Final.
  • How coach Mark Thompson has crafted two premiership wins from what history will remember as one of the greatest teams of all.

This tribute publication will provide a lasting memory of the Geelong Cats’ victorious win – it is a must-have souvenir for all Geelong fans.

It is also a remarkable publishing feat – to produce a 100-page book, featuring 80 pages of stories and photos from the big game and have it on sale in Geelong by midday the day after the Grand Final. The Slattery Media Group CEO Geoff Slattery said: “I remember producing a similar publication when Collingwood won the 1990 premiership. We had that on sale by the following Sunday – eight days after the Grand Final – and we thought that was a remarkable achievement. There are few publishing companies in the country who would not only attempt such a project, but do it with such detail and excellence. More than 30 people worked on the book. It is a credit to their work ethic and commitment.”

Geelong Cats, True Champions will be available at the Supporters’ Day at Kardinia Park, the Herald Sun Shop and online at slatterymedia.com/books from 12pm on Sunday 27th September. It will be on sale in newsagents, bookstores, The Cats Shop and AFL Stores from Monday September 28th. RRP $15

The Slattery Media Group does The Falls Festival

Falls.jpgSummer is well and truly here, and as the climate heats up for another season of incapacitating weather, any sun-induced lethargy is typically offset by a stellar array of festivals to see you through the hottest months of the year.

This year, The Slattery Media Group had the good fortune of teaming up with The Falls Festival – the environmentally-focused music festival held over New Years Eve in Lorne (Vic) and Marion Bay (Tas) – to publish their festival programme for both events.

With a line-up of over 60 various acts, and a range of arts-based attractions to match, each individualised guide had the potential to be a nightmare. However, after some strategic planning and the implementation of a well-oiled process, the guides were produced without a hitch, on time and on high-quality, fully recycled stock to sit with the festival's eco-friendly ethos. It's projects like these that make my role here as a designer feel more like a hobby than a job.
