MEGA Car Show and Family Fun Day

Car Megamart came to us with social media and event management needs in 2016.

The MEGA Car Show and Family Fun Day ran by Redsteps on November 20 2016 was not only successful and gained foot traffic through the dealership, but also created a hype through social media. We were responsible for the social media, public relations, advertising and general coordination of the day. We teamed up with Melbourne Old School Cruisers to bring the public a range of classic cars, drag cars and movie replica cars displays. Other activities included live music, food and market stalls, jumping castle, face painting, kids activities, fire truck displays, Rachelle Splatt and her 10,000 horsepower beast show and the Young Veterans with their uniform and Army trucks for kids.
