Project Overview

Plaza Hotel Sydney is a multi-level venue operating across two spaces, previously positioned as The Plaza Hotel and The Basement. The offering spans nightlife, bistro dining, and week-round trade, but its digital presence was largely weighted toward late-night content.

The focus was to reposition how the venue showed up online, shifting from a single-note perception to a more complete reflection of what the space actually offers.

Challenges

The focus was on improving clarity and consistency.

Content operated without a clear system. Outputs varied in style and frequency, and the split between The Plaza Hotel and The Basement created a fragmented presence. The result was a brand that felt louder in parts, but not fully understood as a whole.

The Instagram presence reinforced this. It captured moments, but not the full picture. Nightlife dominated the narrative, while daytime trade and dining remained largely unseen.

There was also a desire to introduce lo-fi content that still felt intentional. Not rough for the sake of it, but refined enough to hold attention. Content that felt native to the feed, without losing its edge.

Conclusion

A unified content system was introduced to bring structure and direction.

Instagram accounts were consolidated under a single Plaza Hotel identity, allowing focus to shift toward building one cohesive brand.

A dedicated video production and social media team was implemented to ensure consistent, on-brand output. Creative direction guided both photography and video, balancing hi-fi and lo-fi formats to capture the venue across different states.

Content shifted from isolated moments to a more complete narrative. Not just who was there, but what the venue offers across the week.

The result was a clearer, more accurate representation of Plaza Hotel.

Less fragmented. More defined.
