A few weeks ago, #Liquorland and Tinnies as proud Gold Partners of Cricket Australia, brought our partnership to life at the Gabba Test match in Brisbane 🏏. As the action (and rain) unfolded on the pitch, we brightened up the sidelines with our #Liquorland boundary signage and kept fans refreshed with Tinnies Beer. We also treated fans to the Tinnies Terrace, an activation on level 4 under the western scoreboard, featuring an interactive HOWZAT photo moment and complimentary Tinnies cricket shirts for anyone shouting a round Tinnies HOWZAT Hazy Pale Ale. Brylie Dauparas, Senior Marketing Manager, said, “Bringing our brands to life at the Gabba Test was an incredible experience. Seeing our work resonate with fans and being part of such an iconic event was a true highlight for our team.” Supporting iconic events like this is a fantastic way for us to connect with communities and celebrate Australia’s passion for cricket. 🍻 We’re incredibly proud of our teams’ efforts and the unforgettable memories created for cricket fans! 🙌 #LifeAtColesLiquor #TeamColesLiquor #GabbaTest Mia Horner | Brylie Dauparas | Alexandra Miltiadou | Sophie Radonic | Sarah Wilson | Madi Hickey | Grace Knox | Jimmy Handley
