A Roadmap to Higher Return on Ad Spend Nearly a century after his death, legendary retailer John Wannamaker's famous phrase,"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted — the trouble is, I don't know which half," still resonates for today's brands, marketing teams, and agencies.

One minute you're swearing off single-use coffee cups forever, and the next you're in line at the cafe realising you've forgotten your reusable version — again.

A collaboration between Inner West Council, the nationwide Responsible Cafes program and reusable cup system Green Caffeen, the Swap and Go scheme allows cafes and customers to cut down drastically on their usual caffeine-related waste, all by making use of a rotating network of reusable cups.
