VA “hearts” Events
Branding and Marketing for events
have been at the core of our DNA since day one.
From the inception of VA in 2010 until 2013 we regulary opened our doors at the “Old Courthouse” in Maroochydore creating what was part underground bar, part art gallery and huge chunk of the revitalisation of Maroochydore in the days when Ocean Street had more empty shops than open ones.
Fast Forward to 2016 and VA are chosen as digital agency for the launch of the Sunshine Coast Council’s Horizon Festival. Since then VA have delivered website design and development every year and for half of that time we have also run the festival digital advertising campaigns and email marketing automations.
In 2022 and 2023 we were also privileged to work with local artists Jack Mcrae to roll out a new brand direction based on his commissioned art work. This gave Horizon a fresh new look-and-feel.
Since 2017 we have worked with Sunshine Coast Open House, the region’s largest public architecture and design festival. For a weekend in October, multiple buildings are open to the public showcasing the best architecture on the coast. For the past six years we have designed and developed their website, created the printed program, designed press ads and managed the digital marketing campaign.
With an already established relationship with World Surfaris, in 2019 when they took on the running of Noosa Festival of Surfing, we were appointed as the agency to roll-out the brand update. Since then we have designed and developed the website, managed the digital marketing campaign and created the printed program. Across the years we’ve also been involved in signage, merch, content creation and video production.
The end of 2022 saw us start work on the Festival of Outback Skies, an inaugural cultural festival for outback Queensland, held in Hughenden in April 2023. We designed, built and host the website that has been reskinned for the 2023 and 2024 festival iterations of the festivals and is currently beign readied to launch the 2025 event. OPur reponsibiklties each year also include design of all press advertsing and digital ad campaigns on Meta and Google. We also produce a yearly social media strategy and have been managing their social content and, as the festival draws closer, printed materials such as the program. We can’t wait tosee Hughenden light up again in 2025 and will be in town to capture content and enjoy the festivities.
Over the last few years, we have worked with several theatrical production companies on a range of Australian musicals and theatre shows.
At VA, we’ve gone full circle and have been hosting our own art shows after acquiring a Risograph printer in 2021. RisoFest brings together local artists and creatives, with all artwork printed on the in-house Riso. We’ve run two shows and risograph workshops as well as establishing The Sunshine Press, an in-house printing studio.
