Lock, Stock & Some Smoking Back Flips

Kastner and Partners

The Big Kahuna Brand struck gold (silver and bronze) at the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour in September.  For the first time, Australia played host to the Grande Finale of the biggest and most respected freestyle motocross tour on the planet and the riders did not disappoint.  The death-defying double backflips mixed with Can Cans, Nac Nacs, and heelclickers were awe-inspiring.

To reward the riders with the top scores (and the biggest cojones), Big Kahuna crafted three trophies inspired by antiquated, wooden stocks to match the rest of the day’s colonial theme in honour of the historic location — Cockatoo Island.

Taking Care of Garnier

oOh!media

For Garnier's recent promotional spend, oOh!media asked Big Kahuna to create four jumbo-sized Garnier shampoo bottles to serve as the centerpiece of the beauty brand's shopping centre activation currently winding its way through Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Working with Melbourne-based aquarium manufacturer Aquatic Creations, Big Kahuna convinced oOh!media that, whilst cheaper, vac-forming the bottles would present an inferior product not worthy of the client's delicately-powerful product. The crew had a few trials and tribulations devising a unique formula for the moulds but the result was four, fantastic replicas of Garnier's Fructis shampoo bottles.

Update: Lenovo

PLAY Communication

A few months ago, Big Kahuna crafted the suped-up motorbike of PLAY Communication and Lenovo's dreams for "The Dream Realisation Project" — a new marketing campaign built around the idea of DO-ing what you've always dreamt of, in conjunction with Lenovo's global brand re-launch "Lenovo, For Those Who Do".

Debuting in Melbourne Airport, the Lenovo DO Machines are set for Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland domestic Virgin terminals. We've recently received some fantastic pictures of the Sydney activation that we wanted to share!
