To launch the City of Melbourne’s new Only in the City brand campaign and increase visitation to the city, By All Means and AMPR have teamed up to create Supermelbourne.
Supermelbourne is an experiential activation that showcases the exceptional food, fashion, retail, art and entertainment that can only be experienced in the city. Supported by PR, social and outdoor, the campaign was created by By All Means in partnership with AMPR for amplification and communications and Twenty3 Group for activation and event production.
Over five days, Supermelbourne transforms Howey Place into an aboveground, underground experience comprising a fully immersive, subterranean installation pushing the boundaries of urban art with a multi-sensory collaboration between Melbourne mural artists Drez and George Rose, and experiential artist Kit Webster matched with a line-up of Melbourne’s finest DJs and electronic acts.
Lord Mayor Sally Capp said: “Only in the City is the sum of all of the unique parts that make Melbourne the most liveable city in Australia – where people travel from all corners of the globe to experience.
"Melbourne has a magnetism that comes from our top-tier hospitality, retail and entertainment industries. We want to celebrate those experiences, because they only happen here in the city.
“We’re inviting Melburnians and visitors to revel in all that we love about our city first-hand at Supermelbourne this weekend.”
By All Means creative partner, Toby Cummings, said: “Melbourne is one of the world’s most creative cities, and we wanted to make something that celebrates it. Something that couldn’t be done anywhere else.
“And full credit to the City of Melbourne marketing team and the Councillors for being brave enough to try something that’s never been done before. We consider that to be real proof of this city’s creative spirit.”
