We’ve been running brand activations across Australia for 15+ years. Here’s what makes us different.

1. We own our core activation assets — and customise everything. Most activation agencies broker rentals. We own our core fleet of mobile event vehicles and build custom set designs from scratch. Every campaign is purpose-built for the brand. No two activations ever look the same.

2. We handle everything end-to-end. Concept, custom fit-out, venue sourcing, permits, staffing, and execution. You brief us once. We deliver the whole thing — no coordinating between multiple vendors, no surprises on the day.

3. We have the results to back it up. From nationwide sampling campaigns to multi-city marketing roadshows and pop-up retail activations, we’ve delivered for brands across every category. One campaign drove RTD sales up 2,000% in a single festival season.

4. Our fleet goes where your audience is. We deploy a fully customisable fleet of promotional vehicles — from branded Kombis to custom-built mobile bars, DJ trucks, and sampling carts. Built for attention. Built for your brand.

5. We scale to fit the brief. A one-day city activation or a multi-city / national roadshow — we’ve done them all. We handle venue sourcing and permits, staffing, and logistics at any scale, anywhere in Australia.

Our headquarters is in Sydney, however provide our services nationwide.

While we operate on a national scale, we understand the nuances of local markets. Our campaigns are tailored to resonate with diverse Australian audiences, ensuring your message hits home, every time.

At Kombi & Co, we’ve had the privilege of bringing brands to life across a diverse spectrum of industries. Our experience spans from local favourites to global powerhouses, each with unique challenges and triumphs. Here’s a taste of the brands we’ve helped shine:

• FMCG Giants: We’ve made everyday products extraordinary for Colgate, V Energy, Coles, Lipton, Calypso, Westgold, and Weis.
• Beauty & Fashion Trendsetters: From high street to high-end, we’ve crafted experiences for H&M, Coco & Eve, Reef, Schwarzkopf, David Jones, lululemon, L’Occitane, Kate Spade, Seafolly and FaceGym.
• Spirits & Wine Innovators: We’ve raised a glass (or 2!) with Beam Suntory, De Bortoli Wines, and Brix Distillers.
• Sports & Lifestyle Leaders: We’ve pushed boundaries with Under Armour, 2XU, and Rebel Sports.
• Fast Food Phenomenons: We’ve served up excitement for McDonald’s and KFC.
• Tech & E-commerce Disruptors: We’ve connected the digital and physical worlds for SAP, Bumble, OPPO, and The Iconic.

Yes — we work with both direct brands and agency partners across PR, creative, and media.

For agencies, we operate as a silent execution partner. You manage the client relationship, we deliver the activation. Everything we do can be white-labelled — your client sees a flawless campaign, you retain full ownership of the account.

We’ve worked alongside agencies of all sizes, from independent creative studios to large integrated networks. If you need a reliable activation partner who knows how to work behind the scenes, that’s exactly what we do.

Yes — and the results speak for themselves.

We’ve activated for an alcohol brand at Music Festivals using a custom mobile DJ truck. RTD sales increased 2,000% year on year.

We ran a 12-month national roadshow for a German software company — a custom Kombi fitted with a fold-up roof and integrated LED screen, visiting cities across Australia as a mobile educational express.

For an Australian beauty brand, we took over North Bondi RSL with a full Tropical Oasis build — custom DJ van, pop-up roof, branded coconuts, and influencer engagement that drove significant PR and social reach.

For a Thai coconut drink launch at Circular Quay, we deployed a custom van bar serving branded mocktails to drive mass sampling and content creation at scale.

Three things set us apart from every other activation agency in Australia.

1. We own our core activation assets — and we build what doesn’t exist yet. We own our core activation assets and fleet of mobile event vehicles and customise every one of them for the campaign. When a brief calls for something that’s never been built before, we build it from scratch. Custom set designs, purpose-built environments, full fit-outs. No rental markup. No middleman. Just the right asset for the activation.

2. We handle everything under one roof. Concept, design, permits, venue sourcing, staffing, and execution — all managed by one team. Most agencies coordinate between four or five vendors to deliver what we do in-house. That means tighter brand control, faster turnaround, and no brief lost in translation.

3. We’ve been doing this for 15+ years. We’ve activated at major music festivals, run 12-city national roadshows, and delivered campaigns that moved product by 2,000% in a single season. That depth of experience means we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.

It depends on the scale of the campaign — but earlier is always better.

For large-scale activations and national roadshows: Allow 3–6 months. This gives us time to design and build custom assets, secure venues and permits, and put the right team in place. The more complex the brief, the more lead time protects the quality of the outcome.

For smaller activations and local campaigns: We can work with 2–4 weeks notice. It’s a tighter window, but we know how to move fast without cutting corners.

For peak periods — festival season, major retail moments, school holidays — book earlier than you think you need to. Venues, permits, and quality staff get locked in fast.

Not sure where your campaign sits? Get in touch and we’ll give you an honest read on what’s achievable in your timeframe.

Sometimes — and it’s worth a conversation before you assume it can’t be done.

We’ve delivered activations on tight timelines. How tight depends on three things:

Seasonality. Peak periods fill up fast. Festival season, major retail moments, and school holidays all create high demand for venues, permits, and staff. The closer you are to one of those windows, the harder it gets.

Complexity. A custom build needs more lead time than a fleet deployment. If your campaign requires something built from scratch, we need enough runway to do it properly.

Scale. A single-city activation can move faster than a national roadshow. The broader the footprint, the more logistics are in play.

If you’ve got a last-minute brief, contact us immediately. The sooner we know what you need, the more options we have.

No two activations are the same — so there’s no standard price list.

What drives the cost is straightforward: the scale of the activation, the complexity of the build, the number of locations, staffing requirements, and any venue or permit fees involved. A single-city sampling campaign looks very different in scope and budget to a 12-city national roadshow with a custom-built vehicle.

What we can tell you is that we work across a wide range of budgets — and we’re upfront about what’s achievable within yours. We’d rather have an honest conversation early than quote something that doesn’t deliver the result you need.
