Rolling out the red carpet for three weeks of fun and festivity

Aruga partnered with Wynnum Fringe to train the spotlight on its star-studded three-week program of performances, special events, spectacular artists and family firsts.

The third annual Wynnum Fringe was the largest festival in the waterfront suburb’s history and Aruga developed and executed a successful PR campaign inviting locals and visitors to celebrate.

Through strategic storytelling, targeted media materials, tailored media relations and shrewd social advertising, Aruga delivered a 265 per cent increase in media clips, year-on-year, and saw record audience numbers flock to the Fringe.
