To help Aussies reclaim their lunch break, ING DIRECT has today launched a campaign that will see UK magician Dynamo visit Australia for the very first time and will involve a range of free lunchtime events.
The ‘Spend Your Lunch Well’ events will offer a completely unique lunchtime experience, like a sushi rolling class, rock climbing, writing music with Josh Pyke or interactive art with renowned street artist, INDO.
