KMART

Connect Entertainment has partnered with Kmart to manage and execute a variety of dynamic events, each designed to create engaging, memorable experiences that align with Kmart’s values of accessibility, fun, and innovation.

A few of our standout moments include:

Building an interactive basketball court in a shopping centre to engage customers, featuring live demonstrations to launch Kmart’s NBL range.

Organising a Mother’s Day event with a live TV cross. Our team transformed The Commons into a pop-up shop showcasing Kmart’s new range, set up a Mother’s Day market stall, and hosted a beautifully styled sit-down lunch with all Kmart products. Guests brought their mums to enjoy the event.

When Kmart became a primary partner in the Melbourne Fashion Festival, marking a first for a large market retailer, we provided end-to-end creative, design, and event execution. Two family-friendly runway shows reached over 1,200 live attendees, with thousands more watching via Kmart’s TikTok livestream.

Each event was crafted to strengthen Kmart's connection with customers and reinforce their brand values.

We partner closely with McDonald’s to ensure their key messages are effectively communicated throughout, tailoring every detail to reinforce their goals and values.
