Full STEAM ahead for a most curious campaign

Aruga plugged its PR and communications know-how into launching the inaugural Curiocity Brisbane in 2019, sparking imagination and innovation among media and visitors alike and positioning Brisbane as an all-ages interactive playground.

We drove momentum to another successful launch in 2020, before quickly transitioning to issues management when COVID-19 derailed the event just days before.

Back with a bang in 2021, Aruga returned to channel its inner-STEAM specialists, powering positive national coverage, visiting journalist famils, social media and VIP events.
