I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) With respect to the Public Transport Authority, “strategic marketing” is the marketing of plans to encourage people to use our public transport services and to provide information about how to use our transport services. The term “creative services” means the advertising and design work. (2) The specific projects that Cooch Creative consultants will work on include the launch of the southern suburbs railway to Mandurah and iPod timetables. In addition, they will be working on advertising campaigns designed to encourage people to use public transport services to special events such as Lotterywest Skyworks, Australian Football League matches and other sporting events, as well as producing and providing information on the services to these events.
