Events and activations do something no digital channel can: they put your brand in front of people in real life, with real attention and real emotion. Done well, they build the kind of brand memory that advertising alone can't buy.

We plan, promote and produce events and activations - and because we handle your campaign creative and merchandise too, everything shows up consistent. The ad, the banner, the t-shirt, the post-event email. One brief. One team.

What we do.

  • Event strategy & planning

    From concept to run sheet. We scope the event, define the objective, plan the experience and build the promotional campaign around it. What are you trying to achieve? Who needs to be there? What do they need to feel?

  • Brand activations

    Pop-ups, in-store activations, experiential campaigns and sponsorship activations. Designed to create a moment people remember and talk about.

    Best for Brand launches, product demonstrations, retail traffic and sponsorship leverage.

  • Event promotion

    Paid social, programmatic, email, SMS and outdoor to drive registrations and attendance. The same team running your campaign is running your event promotion - no separate brief, no brand drift.

  • Sponsorship management

    Identifying, negotiating and activating sponsorships that actually deliver brand value. We manage the relationship, the deliverables and the on-ground activation.

    Best for Businesses that want to leverage community events, sport and lifestyle properties to build brand recognition.

  • Event merchandise & collateral

    Branded apparel, signage, giveaways and printed collateral - all produced in-house and delivered on time. The stuff that makes your team look professional and gives attendees something to keep.

  • Post-event follow-up

    Email sequences, retargeting campaigns and social content to extend the event's reach after the day. The event is the moment. The follow-up is where the conversion happens.

How we think about events.

An event without a strategy is just a party. We start with the objective - what does success look like 30 days after the event? Then we work backwards. Who needs to attend, what do they need to experience, and how do we get them there?

The promotional campaign, the on-ground experience and the post-event follow-up are planned as one connected activity. Not three separate briefs to three separate suppliers.

Common questions about events and activations.

Do you run the event on the day or just plan it?

Both options are available. Some clients want full event management including on-the-day coordination. Others want the strategy, promotion and merch handled, and they run the day themselves. We'll scope what makes sense for your situation.

Can you handle the promotional campaign for an event we're already planning?

Yes. If you have the event sorted and just need the promotion - paid social, email, SMS, programmatic - we can run that as a standalone campaign.

How far in advance do we need to brief you?

The more lead time the better, especially if you need merchandise produced. For a well-promoted event with merch, 8-12 weeks is ideal. For a promotional campaign only, 4-6 weeks is workable. For a landing page and social campaign, 2-3 weeks at a push.

Do you work on events outside Queensland?

Yes. We've managed events and activations across multiple states. Most of the planning and promotion happens remotely. On-ground coordination depends on the scope.
