We created a media sneak peek of the 31 flavours being whisked up over the 31 days of August by our sweetest clients @yarravalleychocolaterie @greatoceanrdchocolaterie @mpchocolaterie — and it’s hard to pick between a Crême Brûlée Donut, a Biscoff French Toast or a whimsical Egg & Spoon Race, but the dark chocolate Negroni creation has our name all over it.As seen in @timeoutmelbourne @secretmelbourne @urbanlistmelb @concreteplaygroundmelbourne#QStrategiesagency #Qclientlove #HotChocolateFestival #HotChocolate #chocolatelover #MelbournePR #MelbournePRagency #foodwinetravel #allthegoodthings #clevercommunications #contentcreation #media

F**K THE INVISIBLE… a special treat to be the guest of @karabakercouture as her designs slayed it on the Premium Runway of @melbfashionfestival marking #internationalwomensday — facing directly into the perception that women become invisible as they age.

PARTY IN ROOM 1106… kicking off 2024 #worklife officially launching @hotelindigopottspoint — a new style boutique hotel embracing its locale tucked behind the iconic Coco-Cola sign with a cheeky nudge and a wink. Thanks to our Sydney media pals for joining us at our intimate in-room soirée + dinner @lucsansyd by @cheflukemangan and for spreading the word… lovely to see you in the Kings Cross ‘hood @susankurosawa @utejunker @travellerau @simonemitchell @vacationstravel.au @signaturemedia_ @qtravels @urbanlistsyd @austtraveller @janelawsonfood @concreteplayground @the_smallest_room @hmmagapac @melissahoyer @davidwhitehill_travel @broadsheet_syd @mitchandmark @thenewdaily#HotelIndigoPottsPoint #QClient #QStrategiesAgency #clevercommunications #PRagency #Medialauch #hotellaunch #boutiquehotel #sydneyhotel #kingscross #pottspoint #hotelindigo

YES CHEF… there’s a new chef + new menu @lamadonnamelbourne @nextmelbournehotel but with a certain dish remaining (IYKYK) along with the same relaxed sophistication of our favourite city restaurant & bar.

SNEAK PEEK… sharing a hint of what awaits @hotelindigopottspoint — Q’s latest boutique hotel launch project. It’s theatrical, it’s playful and it’s eclectic, just like the Kings Cross neighbourhood it calls home (you’ll find it tucked right behind Sydney’s iconic Coca Cola billboard) Our tips? Pick a vinyl to add to the mood in the lobby (apparently INXS is vintage now), book in to the just opened French Izakaya @lucsansyd by @cheflukemangan that’s right next door and let the team led by @bruceryde and @caitlinwalter share their tips for where else to revel in the Potts Point ‘hood. This one’s going to be fun!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION…the Q team love helping open new hotels and @hotelindigomelbourne has been no exception. Inspired by the legends of Flinders Lane, this new style of boutique hotel has Helmut Newton as muse, paying homage to fashion photography with a host of works specially commissioned by local artists around every corner. And even a selfie booth to capture your own. Bravo #ProInvestGroup on a stunning transformation, congrats to Hotel GM, upcoming luminary in the biz, @josephsimmonsss + @anillacortes and crew for the snazzy @besomelb nestled beside the hotel, bringing some Spanish star power to this end of town.

Oh, and the perfectly pink ‘Barbie’ ruby couverture hot chocolate complete with designer dress to dunk and pink choc car to melt.
