In mid-June the realest Housewife on the block, Erika Girardi, touched down in Sydney to talk all things hayu and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

With her glam squad in tow, Erika brought some sparkle to town on a whirlwind press tour run by the Klick team. The tour saw her meet with over 20 Aussie media and influencers over a three day period. 

The highlight of the tour was a luxury yacht charter around Sydney Harbour where VIP guests were treated to flowing champagne, canapés and some killer selfie moments.

Vegemite, Skippy, Quokka...

These are a few of the ‘Aussie Icons’ suggested to be named as one of Qantas’ eight new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner planes. The Dreamliners will fly new routes, including flights from Perth to London and Melbourne to Los Angeles.

Qantas received over 60,000 suggested names for the new aircrafts and presented a shortlist of 24 names for the Australian public to vote for the winners.

Klick got behind Uluru and urged the public to hop on board and help the idea take off! To gain public support we developed a range of content. Take a look at this short animation to see some of our work.

End result? Uluru will be taking flight later this year! Along with other winning names Great Barrier Reef, Boomerang, Skippy, Waltzing Matilda, Quokka, Dreamtime and Great Southern Land. 

 

To celebrate VIVID, The Langham Sydney put on a culinary and culturally immersive dining experience with internationally acclaimed artist Kerrie Hess.

In a one-night residency, Kerrie lit up the room to create one of her signature fashion illustrations whilst guests dined on a two-course menu devised by Dave Whitting.

Throughout the course of the dinner, guests were immersed in ambient lighting, moving to reflect each dish presented on the menu from coral blue through to vibrant orange and pastel pink.

To complete the dining experience, The Langham Sydney’s newly appointed Executive Pastry Chef, Prashanth Krishnan created a decadent dessert table laden with sweet delights reflective of Kerrie’s illustrative style.

You can view a video of the spectacular dinner here. 

Aloha, welcome to Klickiki 2017!

To celebrate our outstanding achievements for FY17, Klicksters across the Sydney and LA office were invited to enjoy Klick's 7th annual rewards trip to Hawaiʻi.

As soon as we stepped off the plane and adjusted to island time, we set off on an action-packed itinerary exploring the North Shore, visiting a pineapple plantation, and tasting new flavours created at Kō Hana Agricole Rum distillery.

The days ahead consisted of countless memorable experiences - a morning hike to Manoa Falls, a sunset cruise in Waikiki, making new friends at Pa'u Hana, and to mark the occasion, celebratory Mai Tais at The Royal Hawaiian with our Klick ohana.
