Unwrap festive success with Brand iQ this Christmas
Connect with communities ready to spend this festive season – we make it land, you make the sales.

In the rush of Christmas, attention is the rarest gift of all. Our centres are where Santa photos become family traditions, where gift wrapping supports community causes and where your brand becomes part of the neighbourhood story. This is about more than mass reach; it is about meaningful connection in the moments that matter most.

Activations and packages are available across 12 centres throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT – from major destinations such as Eastland and Castle Towers to local hubs like Bathurst City and Pittwater Place – making your message unskippable in high-intent moments.

PROVEN FESTIVE MOMENTUM

Last festive season delivered record results across our centres, and this year's forecast is even stronger. From Black Friday through Valentine's Day, capture shoppers at every milestone when spirits are high and purchase intent peaks. Build sustained momentum for your brand across four peak months, not just a December spike.
