How we can create mentally healthier environments with Black Dog Institute

October is Mental Health Month, a time for everyone from individuals to businesses to reflect on the profound impact of mental health on our society. So as we draw to a close on another mental health month, it’s important the conversation about mental health continues.

 

At Motio we have an ongoing commitment to champion mental health initiatives, including our content partnership with Black Dog Institute. And we had the privilege of sitting down with Deb Agnew, Senior Manager of Brand and Marketing Communications at Black Dog Institiute to chat through the steps to creating safer work environments and supporting others. As well as some valuable insights on maintaining mental health well-being, and most importantly, initiating difficult conversations with loved ones.

 

 

What motivated you to join the Black Dog Institute and become dedicated to the cause of mental health?

 

Deb Agnew: I’m very passionate about mental health and went through a very trying time with a family member experiencing anxiety and depression a few years ago.  It was a very dark and terrifying time and inspired me to work with an organisation who is making strides to change the mental health care system in Australia. Hence my work at the Black Dog Institute, a world-leading mental health research organisation that is not only researching anxiety and depression but transforming people’s lives with its evidence-based mental health treatments, educational programs, services and resources.

 

The Mental Health Month theme this year is “We all have a role to play”, what does that mean to you?

 

DA: The theme underscores our shared responsibility in supporting better mental health for all people. The theme reminds us that supporting friends, family, and even strangers experiencing mental health challenges is crucial. So is promoting empathy and encouraging open conversations and reducing stigma. Advocacy, awareness, and creating safe environments are essential components of our collective role. It emphasises self-care while fostering a culture of acceptance and understanding. Inclusivity, prevention and early intervention are also key aspects, emphasising that better mental health is relevant to all individuals and communities. This theme calls us to create a more compassionate and supportive society where mental health is prioritised and valued.

 

Supporting those around us can be challenging at times. Do you have any practical suggestions to initiate meaningful check-in conversations with friends, colleagues, or family members?

 

DA: Initiating meaningful check-in conversations involves being empathetic, caring and lending an ear. Start by asking open-ended questions like “What’s been on your mind?” Or “How have you been feeling lately?” It’s important to be genuinely interested in their response, authentic and not to rush. Avoid judgments and offer your support, saying something like, “I’m here for you, and I care about how you’re doing.” Remember, it’s about listening, understanding, and showing you care.

 

In our fast-paced lives, daily stress can take a toll on mental wellbeing. Could you recommend some daily activities individuals can incorporate to better manage and reduce stress?

 

DA: To better manage daily stress and enhance mental wellbeing, consider incorporating some of these daily activities:

  • Organise your day, routine and preparation is a good thing to provide structure and anticipate challenges before they become issues.
  • Maintain social connections and time with friends and loved ones.
  • Limit screen time, set boundaries on news consumption and prioritise adequate sleep, a healthy diet and physical exercise.
  • Spend time in nature, time away from the hustle and bustle amidst trees is very soothing.
  • Practice gratitude and acknowledging the things that you are grateful for, both big and small. What we focus on grows and multiplies, so focussing on what is working and makes you smile is important.
  • I personally find Meditation a great way to destress, declutter my mind and create space for new ideas and opportunities.

If stress becomes overwhelming, seek help. There’s lots available. A good first point of contact is to check in with your GP. They can help by providing a referral to a psychologist. There’s face-to-face options or telehealth appointments.  There’s also digital tools, resources or apps, help is at hand. Two notable evidence-based mental health apps from Black Dog Institute are myCompass, which helps you navigate your mood and SleepNinja which helps with sleep disturbances.

 

 

Raising awareness about mental health resources and support services is crucial. What actions do you think we can take not only during Mental Health Month but throughout the year to achieve this?

 

DA: To raise awareness about mental health resources and support services year-round, we can start by normalising discussions about mental health, destigmatising it and sharing personal stories. We can point people in the direction of evidence-based resources, like those provided by Black Dog Institute, that have been tried and tested and have been proven to work. We can encourage workplaces and schools to provide education and resources around better mental health and share information through their social media and community events. We can collaborate with mental health organisations, as well as local governments, and businesses to create accessible services and support networks. We can advocate for policies that prioritise better mental health, and support individuals seeking help without judgment. By maintaining a sustained effort in these areas beyond Mental Health Month, we can ensure that awareness and support for mental health are ongoing priorities in our communities.

 

BDI has been using Motio Health and Motio Café to promote some important messaging across Australia – how has it been going for you so far?

 

DA: Through the Motio network we’ve had the opportunity to reach millions of Australians. Many metro professionals through Café, as well as those focused on their health and wellbeing via Health. Within the first three days of BDI using the Motio media networks, we’ve had over 500 visits to our campaign landing page.

We know that out-of-home media impacts behaviour change by repetitively exposing audiences to clear, visually appealing messages. We want to elevate the importance of better mental health and increase awareness of Black Dog Institute’s ability to assist with treatments, programs, services, resources and digital tools to foster better mental health.

 

Finally, fostering a supportive work environment is vital. How can organisations reduce the stigma around mental health and create a space that encourages support for their employees?

 

DA: Organisations can reduce the stigma around mental health and create a mentally healthy and supportive workspace.  We help organisations do this through our Workplace Mental Health programs. We educate employees and managers about better mental health, offering tools and resources to recognise signs of distress, promoting open dialogue about mental health concerns and ensuring access to confidential support services. Encouraging work-life balance and stress management techniques, and leading by example through visible leadership support for mental wellbeing. Ultimately, we know that better mental health pays dividends and leads to better productivity, better job satisfaction and better cost savings for organisations.

 

 

The Black Dog Institute is the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate on mental health. Their goal is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone, and Motio is a proud media partner.

Modibodi ventures into grass roots sports with Motio in an industry first.

Modibodi, the pioneering brand in global absorbent apparel, recently launched its groundbreaking Change Room campaign in collaboration with PUMA, which has captivated audiences across Australia. The campaign saw brand engagement come to life through a successful pop-up store in Sydney, that allowed athletes to swap white or light-coloured sports shorts for a free pair of Modibodi x PUMA leakproof Active shorts.

To complement this incredible campaign, the Modibodi team partnered with Digital Placed-Based media company Motio, leveraging their 1st party data and technology to target women playing grass roots sport and promoting the campaign. The campaign ran across Motio’s extensive network of sports centres throughout Australia placing a series of ads only when women are playing, a first for the industry.

Through the Motio Play platform, Modibodi saw a unique opportunity to engage directly to its core audience in a socially vibrant environment with high dwell time, not just while women are playing but pre and post-game as well. The media partnership has sparked a wave of excitement and empowerment among active women participating in team sports.

Liana Lorenzato, CMO, Modibodi

“The opportunity to showcase the collaboration between Modibodi and Puma whilst women are playing sport together made ‘Motio Play’ a no-brainer for us. It’s reassuring to see our campaign running in a highly relevant, data driven environment; it has allowed us to extend our message of being comfy in your own skin, out of the online space and into the real world in the same way we would online, such a difficult thing to do in an out-of-home environment. ”

Adam Cadwallader, CEO, Motio

Marketing to women has never been in the spotlight more than right now. The evolution of language and acceptance is arguably too long in the tooth to even mention. The team have been itching to use our data points to serve advertising in a way that other out-of-home environments are still dreaming of, rivalling some of the retail sector. This was a chance for Motio to use the power of our player data through our competition management software Spawtz to ensure Modibodi was active when women were playing in our environments where most of the audience are playing for fun.”

 

 

Motio launched it’s out-of-home targeting capability with Modibodi that targeted games played by all female teams with multiple creatives at different times, age groups and sporting codes.

 

Modibodi has been an Australian success story and has been operating for over 10 years when it launched its game changing period underwear.

Motio Acquires Sports Software Platform Spawtz, Ready To Take On The High-Growth Indoor Sporting Sector

Indoor Cricket, Basketball, Netball and of course Futsal are some of the fastest-growing sports worldwide with Australia amongst the highest take up of indoor sports globally. The sporting centres, leagues and associations have followed suit by upping their own game in terms of organisation and professional administration – with Liquid Thinking’s Spawtz Software platform contributing significantly to this improved operator and player experience.

Early this morning, Motio signed a deal to acquire 100% of Liquid Thinking Limited, owner of the Spawtz, which is operated in Australia by Motio under license. While based in the United Kingdom, Liquid Thinking additionally operate in South Africa and New Zealand and are eyeing expansion in other markets.

The Liquid Thinking team has developed a robust software, data infrastructure system used by nearly 1,000 sporting venues, interacting with over 750,000 active players across these markets. As a result, Liquid Thinking are a rich data source. This plays a critical role for Motio’s wider media business providing comprehensive insights and live data sets into ‘active lifestylers’ across Australia, and now in other markets as well. This data informs Motio’s Audience Experience platform, online and out-of-home programmatic and offers valuable direction for brands looking to engage with an ever-growing active sporting audience across Australia.

The Spawtz Software platform delivers a market-leading, end-to-end player registration, competition management and payment features – with the software developed around 10 years ago by players, for players. A sophisticated platform that is also integrated into Motio’s Digital Media Displays in centres Australia-wide, Spawtz has delivered a connected experience from ‘couch to court’. Allowing players to see game information on displays, while also allowing brands to interact, as well as providing centres the ability to directly communicate with players – creating an uncomplicated and seamless experience for players on and off court.

The Spawtz arsenal includes features like individual player and full team registration, comprehensive league management, live scoreboards, and online payments, it has revolutionised a sector of the indoor, grass roots and amateur sports industries across international locations.

The indoor sports, leagues and associations (all customers of Spawtz) have also seen an evolution of ownership including a shift towards professional management, improved operations, and enhanced customer experience as a result. The Shared Payments (splitting fees between participating players) and Automated Weekly Payments (full season payments automatically paid weekly) have been of significant popularity, with venues and associations able to easily streamline transactions with ease – fostering a more positive experience for players, and venue owners.

The acquisition serves as a powerful and significant marker for Motio, as they evolve their indoor sporting Audience Experience offering – providing centre and association operators with a considerable suite of products and features at their fingertips. It will provide Motio with continuing opportunity to broaden operations in Australia, as well as deepen its footprint across international markets.

Michael Johnstone, Chief Operating Officer at Motio:

“This acquisition, some might say, was inevitable given the long-term commercial relationship Motio has with Liquid Thinking and the obvious benefit that the acquisition provides in terms of margin flow through. Developing our relationship with them [Liquid Thinking] to a management and leadership role with our existing collaborative strength under one roof, albeit it from the UK, provides a fresh new set of opportunities. We are excited about the growth possibilities that this acquisition presents in Australia and international markets”.

The acquisition will also provide Motio the opportunity to expand its payments offering and provide valuable Business Development leadership to grow the business. Motio will apply its successful sales and professional management across the Liquid Thinking products, allowing the Liquid Thinking team to focus on Product Development and Growth.

Motio Revolutionizes The Medical Practice Waiting Room Experience

Digital Place-Based & Audience Experience media company Motio has announced that more than three million Australian patients can now visit a medical centre offering its fully digitized waiting room experience – taking some of the pain out of the 80 million long, tedious hours Aussies spent in their doctor’s waiting room in 2021 – with an average wait time of 30 minutes.

Led by a comprehensive focus on practice communication, messaging and compelling content, Motio’s new digitised audience experience platform is already available to medical centres nationwide, offering high-quality information, communication and entertainment to 3.2 million patients each month.

The platform has already become a critical resource for medical centres, as it crucially solves three pressing problems for medical centres:

– Provides an instant communication channel with patients, removing the need for posters, leaflets and brochures scattered around the centre

– Better informs patients by delivering precise practice messaging like wait times, practicing doctors and appointment booking

– Elevates the waiting room experience by offering high-quality, beautiful content including live AAP news, game-based trivia and content that digitises tired, traditional waiting room entertainment sources like newspapers and magazines

Motio’s Health network also creates a new earning channel for medical centres, with the business entering revenue share deals with practices – for any advertising that is delivered on the platform.

Targeting The Right Audience

Motio’s access to the highest quality first party, anonymised data sets, sourced directly from practices and supported by Federal Government data, has enabled advertisers to buy through major Digital Out of Home programmatic channels and Motio is connected to agency demand side platforms through Vistar, Hivestack and also Broadsign Reach.

Our anonymised data provides detailed demographic information as well as postcode origin. This data, when aligned with third party sources, gives us critical insights on audience.

Although there are some 158 million GP visits per year, our data tells us that most of that audience are seniors, young mothers with children as well as women with pre-natal and post-natal appointments.

Adam Cadwallader, Motio CEO, said:

“Medical centres and frontline workers have played a crucial role in keeping our communities safe during COVID, and now in the COVID-era, by delivering millions of vaccinations to Australians in an incredibly short time frame,”

“That’s why we’re extremely excited about our patient experience platform, and the role it plays in digitising medical practices that are fast becoming more complex, dynamic environments,”

“With many ultra-sized medical centres already signed up to the platform, which are around five times larger than a standard medical centre, it means we are reaching one in every four people visiting their GP – and we have their attention for a considerable amount of time.”

With millions of Australians set to receive their COVID booster vaccinations in the year ahead, the medical centre is set play a strategic role in making sure Australians are as well informed as possible about COVID and other health issues.

Motio Wins 4-Year Exclusive Contract With Australia’s Largest Medical Centre Network

Motio (ASX:MXO) has continued to drive its product leadership position in the Health & Wellbeing sector winning the exclusive media and content rights to Australia’s largest medical centre network, IPN Pty Ltd which operates in 150+ Health & Wellbeing environments across Australia.

The Motio Platform allows IPN to communicate up to the minute health information right through to the marketing of allied services available across the IPN network.”

Michael Johnstone, COO of Motio said “this is a very exciting addition to our Digital Place-Based network. Being chosen by the IPN team to deliver a key part of their in-practice experience is very humbling. The increasing need and benefit of Digital Place-Based Based media and communication within this sector has seen an upward trend in demand for content, information and communication.”

The agreement sees Motio continue to evolve its Digital Place-Based and Audience Experience strategy across the Health & Wellbeing sector with IPN further adding to its scale and audience reach. Motio will begin rolling out across IPN Medical Centre locations across Australia with the first deployment and other emerging platforms planned for December.

The operators of these locations want to be able to do this seamlessly and Motio is making this possible. Customers want engaging communication that is relevant to their location, culture and language. We know people are looking to our displays for information and entertainment beyond their device”

Motio Acquires Swift’s Medical Channel, With Its Network Set To Increase By 5x

Motio has grown again! Announcing this morning it has acquired Swift Media’s Health & Wellbeing company, Medical Channel Pty Ltd. The move is set to transform the Motio Health network, increasing its existing footprint by over five times, significantly expanding its network and driving an injection of quality in this important Digital Place-Based sector.

The acquisition is pivotal in Motio’s strategy to lead the Digital Place-Based & Location Intelligence media sector, specialising in the health & wellbeing category, leveraging scale, incumbency, and a focus on technological development.

The move also provides significant commercial scale for Motio’s Health network, with Medical Channel enabling a further extension to Motio’s programmatic focus – that is already operating across its Play and Health networks.

The past year has been an unlikely and impressive period of growth for the business, with Motio expanding into a strong competitive position in the Digital Place-Based market since acquiring Adline Media and oOh! Media’s ‘mega medical centre’ display network in January and April last year (respectively).

Motio’s growing Digital Place-Based media business is driven by a committed focus to media sales, content, utility-based enhancements, audience measurement and first party data.

July will see the Swift Health & Wellbeing business (Medical Channel Pty Ltd) re-launched as Motio Health in combination with Motio’s existing ‘mega medical centre’ display network. This will incorporate a comprehensive refresh across the newly acquired business, upgrading key sites with the latest hardware and software components to improve and augment the value proposition for commercial partners and advertisers. Motio will also undertake an evolution of Medical Channel’s content program through its content and creative company, Enormity.

Adam Cadwallader, Motio CEO, commented:

“Our focus on leadership in the Digital Place Based Media & Customer Location Intelligence sector will be significantly accelerated with the acquisition of Medical Channel – health & wellbeing is a strong sector for Motio to build and lead,”

“This deal will provide further reach, scale and impact for our Motio Media business, as we continue to enhance our ownership position in the Digital Place Based sector.”

Michael Johnstone, Motio COO, commented:

“The addition of Medical Channel to our already significant portfolio will drive stronger, brand-safe, content enhanced environments underpinned by technology and data.”

Pippa Leary, Swift Media Limited CEO, commented:

“This deal is a natural extension of our existing sales representation partnership with Motio. Motio has recognised our vision and the hard work that the Swift team has already invested. The company has both the capability and experience to see the business through to the next stage of success,”

“Swift is delighted to be able to maintain an indirect presence in this growth market, retaining a significant equity stake in Motio and looks forward to the business increasing value for Swift’s shareholders.”

The re-launch of the Motio Health network will perfectly complement Motio Play (indoor and online sporting environments) and Motio Go (retail-petro-convenience), while the wider business will continue to explore growth opportunities in the Digital Place-Based market.

Additionally, the company’s internal sales brand, Motio Media, was launched on 1 July 2020 – and representation partnerships were agreed with Ampol Digital Screen Network, as well as Swift Health & Wellbeing last year.
