What a year 2026 has been!

We’re thrilled to share that 3 Little Birds has been named a finalist in the 2026 Gippsland Business Awards. It’s a milestone that means a lot after years of building this agency from scratch and pouring everything into helping our clients punch above their weight.

At the same time, our flock has found a bigger roof. This year, director Melanie Cahani and business partner Aaron Frood took the leap and launched Torque Media Group Australia. As part of that move, we’ve acquired two long standing automotive trade titles, Auto Elec & Air Con Magazine Australia and Tyre Business & Workshop Manager Magazine Australia.

These publications carry more than 30 years of history between them, built by the wonderful Tony McMahon. They now have a new home, with 3 Little Birds perched alongside them in the Torque Media Group family.

Getting to publish these magazines, after nearly two decades working in and around the automotive industry, is genuinely one of the highlights of Mel’s career.

Running an agency is hard. Running a media company is a different kind of hard. Doing both while they intersect has taught us more in six months than most years combined.

What this means for our clients is simple: deeper industry connections, a stronger voice in the automotive and trade space and even more ways to get your brand seen, heard and remembered.

We can’t wait to show you where this goes next.
