Expertise
Campaigns, Communications
For Melbourne Design Week 2026, Abbotsford Convent hosted more than 20 exhibitions, installations and events across the expansive heritage precinct.

The work:
• Creative direction
• Campaign and promotion planning
• Print and digital campaign assets
• Communications and content
• Audience and industry engagement
• Precinct-wide signage and wayfinding

The difference:
The campaign positioned Abbotsford Convent as a key Melbourne Design Week hub, giving audiences a clear way to understand, navigate and explore the program across four precinct zones.

The result was a more coherent and visible public presence for the Convent during one of Melbourne’s major cultural moments, attracting approximately 30k visitors across the festival period and generating 167 media mentions, a cumulative audience reach of 4.16 million and an estimated advertising value equivalent of $1.9 million.

In the spirit of reconciliation we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
