Never has it been more important to develop genuinely authentic cultural tourism experiences that better connect people with place. Our full-service experience design offering is here for this. Authentic storytelling is at the centre of all our design work, including our exciting project with Simon Currant and Associates for the new Chocolate Experience at @cadburyaust . Our in-house content design team prioritises deep subject matter research to unearth the big and little heritage stories that matter no w. This informs the concept development for each immersive experience where we think carefully about how the audience will be entertained, the emotions they will feel, how they will learn and connect. In the coming months we’ll share some more examples as the project progresses. 📸: Art Processors

We’re very excited to be leading the experience design of Hobart’s new Cadbury Factory Chocolate Experience. Developed by Simon Currant and Associates in collaboration with Cadbury, the project will transform the Cadbury Factory waterfront parklands at Claremont into the world’s most extraordinary chocolate destination. The ambitious project will deliver a state-of-the-art tourism experience - blending authentic storytelling, audience participation and chocolate-infused sensory engagement. Our design approach considers all aspects of the visitor experience to create entertaining environments that deliver quality in audience engagement and venue operations. Projects like this demonstrate the importance of an integrated design process for tourism attraction development that combines wow-factor experiences with the operational reliability required for high-traffic venues. 📸: Simon Currant & Associates, Cumulus Architects

Nocturnal Worlds: Virtual Sound Bath at SXSW Sydney 2025 We’re excited to see Pladia’s Event Sync technology powering an industry-first at this year’s SXSW Sydney. In collaboration with Audiocraft and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS), the Nocturnal Worlds: Virtual Sound Bath invites festival-goers to step out of the noise and into a shared moment of calm. Through perfectly synchronised audio, participants will journey together into immersive soundscapes, reminding us how technology can deepen our connection with nature and each other. For us at Pladia, Event Sync started as a way to solve a practical challenge at events: delivering high-quality, direct-to-headphone audio in busy spaces. What’s been most rewarding is seeing it evolve into something more: a medium for collective, almost meditative experiences. We’re proud to be part of this collaboration and can’t wait for audiences at SXSW Sydney to experience it. Join a Sound Bath: Oct 15–17 @ 3pm via the SXSW Sydney 2025 app — @audiocraftpod @sxswsydney @sims_australia_
