When the Stars come out to play

The Star Gold Coast

Making magic for The Star Gold Coast

The Star Gold Coast’s partnership with the city’s glittering Magic Millions Carnival gave Aruga the excuse we needed to build excitement on and off the track.  

For the second year, Aruga worked its magic to amplify awareness of The Star Gold Coast by providing special event support for its VIP events: the signature Women With Horsepower lunch and Dinner Under The Stars with Mike Tindall 

 Aruga saddled up to leverage The Star Gold Coast’s Magic Millions partnership, secure earned media coverage across its on-property offerings, engage high-quality influencers to drive social outcomes for Women With Horsepower and showcase The Star Grand’s luxe offerings, and provide seamless and efficient event support for the VIP moments.  

We secured 129 pieces of media coverage, 146 organic social shares by 40 VIP attendees, four trailblazing panellists and two leading media personalities as emcees – ensuring The Star Gold Coast was the talk of the town all week long!
