About The Park
The Park is an award-winning experiential agency, founded in London in 2018 by three industry
leaders with eclectic backgrounds in client-side marketing, events, advertising, psychology, TV, PR,
and sponsorship. The Sydney office launched in 2021.
At its core, The Park is an experiential agency but we have a broad view of what experiential
marketing is. Simply, it’s doing something, not just saying something.
We work with brands that stand for something (the likes of DreamWorks, Pinterest, and H&M) and help them prove it to their customers and internal stakeholders, by creating Brand ProofTM.
Our work spans physical experiences, digital experiences, social media, content, design and much
more. And we like our people to be as varied as the work we create.
Working at The Park
Our culture is everything to us and it’s underpinned by three founding values:
Diversity Makes The World Better- We think the most creative, fun and interesting environments are
the ones that have the most varied types of people from the broadest array of backgrounds with the
most eclectic views.
Simplicity Is Clarity- we are committed to using no buzzwords and never hiding behind complexity. If
you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it.
There’s Always A Way- it’s the attitude we take to everything, there’s a way to make anything
happen.
