Stellar announces bevy of new client wins

As Sydney hospitality re-opens there is a fantastic energy in the air for dining and drinking out and Stellar is thrilled to be working with the crème de la crème of Sydney’s hospitality operators this summer.

In an exciting trio of wins for the Sydney-based communications agency, Stellar has announced its signing of May Hotels’ Wharf Bar in Manly; Australia’s most diverse hospitality group, Solotel, looking after their pubs and bars portfolio; and iconic Australian roasters, Toby’s Estate coffee.

Following Ben May’s successful launch of Burleigh Pavilion on the Gold Coast, he has maximised the Covid closure period to embark on a full refurbishment of Manly’s much loved Wharf Bar – a sister site to the popular ‘Burleigh Pav’ – injecting a huge new energy to the precinct. From its enviable position perched on Manly Wharf and only a stone’s throw from the breaking waves of Manly beach, Manly Wharf Bar will elevate its offering with the addition of ‘Bar Tropic,’ a table-service restaurant; along with a full re-design of the bar, its food and cocktail menu under the direction of Executive Chef, Francois Poulard. Stellar is managing the launch publicity, local engagement and launch event.

Stellar will embark on a summer campaign with Solotel and their incredible portfolio of pubs and bars including Opera Bar, KX Hotel, The Clock, The Sheaf and many more. Solotel will soon be announcing exciting plans to help reinvigorate Sydney’s nightlife over the coming months with a stacked program of events and parties throughout summer.

The speciality coffee roasters over at Toby’s Estate have been busy creating a delicious new product that Stellar will be launching to media, tastemakers and coffee aficionados that is sure to whet their tastebuds as the weather warms up, with consumer activations also planned for the summer launch.

Says Hayley Cole (right) and Gabrielle Sigelski (left), agency directors: “Premium food and beverage, hospitality, and memorable consumer experiences have been at the heartland of our agency for 24 years. We are so happy to see Sydney re-open and to be supporting these incredible operators to deliver their customers a summer of entertainment like no other.”

Manly Wharf Bar and Solotel will be led by Stellar’s Media & Publicity Director, Talia Cox, while content and media specialist Kali Austin heads up the campaign for Toby’s Estate.
