9th June 2025: In today's Growth Agenda by The Australian, Celia Wallace and Brendan Collogan spoke with Danielle Long about Three Are One’s business model which ‘blurs the lines between traditional consultancies and agencies’.

Three Are One launches with business model that offers 'holistic growth for clients'

Director, Customer

We started Three Are One with a clear belief: the model needs to change. Not incrementally. Fundamentally. Clients today don’t just want more ideas, they want momentum.

The magic, the machines and the model that must change

Director, Customer

In a world flooded with ideas, the differentiator often isn’t who has the biggest or boldest—it’s who has the systems to make them real.

Beyond Ideas: Why Enduring Growth Demands Systems, Not Just Campaigns.

Director, Commercial

Businesses should prioritise time for innovation. While dedicating more time is often ideal, even a limited but focused effort can yield significant outcomes. With the right team, process, and mindset, ideas and concepts can be developed in a day.

Incubating Innovation: Three simple steps to bring your concept to life

Director, Commercial

Strategy—the perfect word for sounding important while saying absolutely nothing. It’s tossed around in boardrooms, peppered into presentations and can be used to justify just about every business decision imaginable. Typically, I do my best not to overuse it, but for today’s topic, I’ll need some leeway... If I promise not to mention ‘incremental’ or ‘leverage,’ perhaps you’ll stick with me.

Director, Commercial

2024 has been a year I’ll always remember—a year of change, growth and reflection. After leaving Optus in March, I took an extended break for the first time in my career. It was a much-needed opportunity to gain perspective, spend meaningful time with my family, and truly understand the importance of prioritising health and well-being.

Top 5 Predictions for 2025

Director, Commercial

In recent conversations, I have learnt how many of our corporates are responding to economic conditions and sustained pressure on household spending. I often come away from these conversations feeling pretty disheartened by the lack of ambition and “sameness” to their strategy.

Stop playing it safe and start playing to win

Director, Commercial

As David Goggins rightly puts it, it’s not just about the “discipline” part; it’s the “self” part that truly matters. The responsibility lies squarely on our shoulders. While setbacks are inevitable in both our professional and personal lives, the turning point rarely comes from external sources. Instead, it emerges from our own self-realisation that we alone have the power to steer our lives in the desired direction.
