                                       “We’ve been coming to the Sydney Royal Easter Show
                                       for 6 years now from Toowoomba, Queensland.

                                       We find that the access to the pure volume of people
                                       at the Show is a huge opportunity for us. With over
                                       800,000 people attending the Show each year, we
                                       really enjoy catching up with new and existing
                                       customers.

                                       Next year we’d like to take some more space (2020)
                                       and we always plan to launch new products. I would

                                       was beyond our expectations.

                                       Everyone was really excited to talk to us and see our
                                       activation. The Show allowed us to connect with a
                                       younger audience, they loved our giant Easter Egg
                                       and posted about it on social media to share with
                                       their friends.

                                       Overall we’re really happy with the Show and can’t

              “The 2019 Sydney Royal Easter Show marked the first
              year of attendance for The Children’s Hospital at
              Westmead. It was a welcomed surprise to not only
              win the Gold Award but the Best in Show for the
              overall exhibit at the Show.

              The Show has not only provided the opportunity to
              engage more with the community and their families,
              but it’s helped strengthen our relationships with
              generous corporate partners, particularly MIRVAC,
              who created our dream stand.”
