Hosting time. The global sensation, Fleurs de Villes has landed in Australia from their home base in Vancouver, popping up one-of-a-kind luxury, bespoke flower shows that showcase the talents of leading local florists. FdV has returned to the Calyx at the Botanic Gardens of Sydney for a third time with the Australian premiere of their new show VOYAGE. I hosted their first exhibit - ‘Femmes’ in 2022 - and this one is focusing on the best voyage/travel destinations. Was very happy to co-host the opening with the ever-brilliant Costa Georgiadis - the man who is a walking celebration of all things nature. He really is a bona fide horticultural & entertainment legend. The exhibit - which is on until August 18 - is brilliant & a perfect way to stop & smell the roses. Literally and figuratively. If you can, grab a ticket & pop down to see how artists transform Italy, France, India, the USA et al into delectable, floral mannequins. And a huuuuge thank you to leading designer Rebecca Vallance Gasan for this diviiiine dress! 😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻 Scoop Communications #fleursdevilles #floral #floralartist #art #voyage #sydney #event #style #popculture #MC

Their humility, enthusiasm, and collaborative spirit were key drivers of the success of Fusion Rules. 🙌 A huge shout-out to the amazing team at VANDAL ▼ Gallery, especially Emile Rademeyer and Alice Robinson, who brought the event to life and ensured its seamless execution.

✨As we approach the final days of 2023, I wanted to reflect on what a game-changing year it was for me, professionally and also personally. ⚽️ Delivering the record-breaking FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ on home turf this year will live on as one of my greatest ever achievements. I just cannot explain to you how much it meant and how utterly fantastic it was. IYKYK! Enough said. 🏡 In the midst of the FWWC, my family and I were given notice of our lease being terminated on our beautiful rental property - that I was way too emotionally invested in! This prompted my partner and I to buy our first home, in the middle of the Tournament! 💍 Four days after the FWWC Final, I married my best mate (after a 3 year Covid delay!). Was this a bit crazy? Yes, probably. But it meant some amazing FIFA-types could join us on our big day and the WWC party rolled on a little longer! 🍦Someway towards the end of my FWWC journey I decided I didn’t want to get “another job” - I mean, what could possibly top the past 18 months (or 9 years at FIFA) And so, Scoop Communications was born! ❤️ I feel so incredibly grateful to have had so many wonderful people and organisations reach out who want to work with me. It was a big leap of faith for me, but I couldn’t be happier or prouder to be on this track. 🙏🏼 Grateful to Snezana Hay as a PR mentor, to Martyn Hindley and co. for enabling the FIFA dream to live on in the freelance space and to my husband Dan Cooper for his daily pep-talks and letting me run off to U17s in Indonesia for a month - he’s the real MVP here. 🚀 I’m looking forward to all that 2024 will bring and I cannot wait to work and connect with new and passionate people in the Sports Comms world. Merry Scoopmas! 🎄🎁🫶🏼 SW Thank you: FIFA - FWWC / FU17WC SPEAK Communications Sydney Marathon Playa Power / Ministry Of Sport Oceania Football Confederation FC Mother …and for all the exciting projects & partnerships to come in 2024 😉 E. sarah@scoopcommunications.com.au W. scoopcommunications.com.au
