New HQ unlocked 🔓We’re levelling up…to floor 4.
Although we loved Redfern, we are excited to move into our South Eveleigh home, with even more room to grow, create and thrive.
Come say hi, and we’ll treat you to a tour ☕👀

That’s a wrap on Google Next 2026. 👋
Six Nexts in, and this one might be the best yet.
It was great to see the work we created come to life across the conference. And throughout the three days we got to support our partners capturing social content from the floor too. Plenty more of that landing on social channels soon.
But the best bit? Catching up with clients, new and old, face to face. And yes, the puppies.
Now the fun part. Bringing it all home and implementing what we have learned with our clients back in Australia.
Thanks to Google for another cracker of a week, and to everyone we caught up with along the way.
See you next year.

Six Google Nexts and counting. 🎉
Always a thrill to help kick things off, and this year’s Day Zero party was a cracker.
Seeing the screens, the visuals, and all the little details we helped bring to life out in the wild was the best feeling. Even better is watching a room full of people enjoy them.
Big shout-out to the crew that pulled it together, and to Google for having us back.
Seven of us are on the ground this week. More to come from the conference floor.

Proud to have some of our work recognised on the @mumbrella_aus Awards 2026 shortlist. Twice. 🎉🎉
Audi F1 – Feel Every Second is shortlisted for Digital and UX Craft. And Change Direction, our work with The Westerman Jilya Institute, is shortlisted for Purpose and Impact Campaign.
Two very different briefs. Both ones we love.
Congrats to the teams and to our partners at Audi and The Westerman Jilya Institute. 🤞

On the scale of world events, three shortlists at Campaign Global may not seem like much, but to us it’s huge to be among the best agencies on the planet. Now wish us luck on bringing it home! 🚀🌎🏆

Saturday night. Oxford Street. 300,000 people. And a float that literally bloomed.
Proud to share our Optus Mardi Gras float, created by the team at Apparent. As part of Optus’s fifth year as a Major Partner of @sydneymardigras , we built a wild, technicoloured garden packed with handcrafted flowers of every shape, colour, and texture that came to life as the parade progressed. A giant “Yes” watering can poured an eight-colour rainbow onto the garden, flowers opened, confetti cannons fired personal messages of pride written by Optus employees and the public in store, and at the top of the float a performer revealed themselves as the garden reached full bloom. All alongside eighty Optus employees dancing their way down Oxford Street.
Watching it come to life as the energy built on Oxford Street was something special. The perfect way to close out the “Pride blooms from Yes” campaign 🌸🌈
Huge thank you to our production partners @mnrconstructions@wilsabinentertainment@soundmoda@pabsartist@brendandelahay #WeAreApparent #MardiGras2026 #Optus
Too much B2B marketing chases the 5% of buyers ready to act right now. Everyone else gets ignored until it's too late, and that's where long-term growth is quietly being lost.
Our Group Strategy Director Jackson Ritchie has some thoughts on @mumbrella_aus .
Heading to Sydney for Mardi Gras? Optus and @sydneymardigras have just launched Tour De Pride, an interactive guide to the places and spaces that have shaped Sydney’s queer history, created by our team here at Apparent.
Hosted by Optus’ own Raine Ingmenn, download the official Mardi Gras app to start your tour. 🌈
