Hospitality Suppliers Expo Logan
Radio Station: Rebel Logan
Sponsor: Hospitality Suppliers Expo / Link Up Network
Date of Activation: July 2026
Overview
The activation provided Rebel 905 with a strong on-site presence at an event that brought together hospitality businesses, venue operators, suppliers and service providers from across South East Queensland. The expo presented a valuable opportunity for Rebel to engage with a highly relevant business audience, including cafe owners, restaurant managers, pub and bar operators, hotel venue managers, caterers, club managers and consumer facing suppliers.
In the lead up to the event, Rebel and Breeze Logan supported the expo through an advertising campaign running from 22 June to 6 July 2026, helping build awareness and drive attendance.
On the day, Rebel 905 delivered live to air integration from the venue, with key station personalities on site to speak with attendees, conduct interviews and engage with stakeholders. Ashley, Rebel FM’s Drive Show Host and Breeze weekend announcer, Jodie Shepherd were on site for two hours, delivering live crosses from 10am and creating a strong station presence throughout the activation period.
A major part of the activation was the $5,000 advertising package giveaway, which could be used across Rebel FM or The Breeze. This provided a strong incentive for businesses attending the expo to connect with the station and created a meaningful conversation starter with potential new advertising clients.
John Wolstenholme was also on site to network with attendees, suppliers and potential advertisers, representing Rebel Radio and building connections with businesses suited to future radio and digital advertising opportunities.
