City of Sydney: 10 years of successful project bids and funded collaborations

We’ve secured multiple grants to bring ambitious ideas to life, including:

• Large-scale environmental art installation, Wasteland
• Sustainable innovation, ReCo Refill
• Circular economy knowledge sharing program, Circular Sydney

Each submission was anchored in a clear vision, compelling need, measurable impact and a viable plan. We now apply this experience to support clients with:

• Submission strategy
• Project narrative development
• Grant writing

Over the years, we’ve successfully won contracts to create engaging campaigns and designs for the Sydney community. Our Year of the Dog campaign brought joy to the streets with vibrant dog sculptures across the city — a hit with both sponsors and the public. They were the result of:

• Deep understanding of the brief
• Bold, strategic creative ideas
• Clear value articulation to stakeholders

This same thinking is what we bring to client campaigns today — combining creativity with strategic clarity.

In 2024, we were awarded the Resilient Sydney contract — part of the global Resilient Cities Network, funded by the NSW Government — outbidding several larger agencies. We won by aligning our proposal closely to every requirement of the brief, using the SMART framework to demonstrate our capability, outcomes and delivery approach.

For businesses seeking to work with the government, we can help you:

• Strengthen the logic and structure of your proposal
• Demonstrate your capability to deliver outcomes
• Build trust through ethical practice and transparent communication

We’re proud of our track record — not just because we’ve won, but because we’ve outperformed expectation. Here’s what we know works:

• Strong project logic: Clear purpose, community benefit and deliverables
• Good storytelling: Emotionally resonant, factually grounded
• Smart design: Makes information digestible and memorable
• Integrity: Build trust through transparency, ethics and commitment to quality
