About

Placemaker Studio is built around a collective of naturally curious people who are willing to search deeper to find better ways of doing things.

We keep it simple

We look for fresh and creative ways to achieve shared understanding and encourage each other to be bold and brave as we go about building value and meaning in our client's brands.

We get clear on the requirement, we get the right team together, then we learn, strategise, create, deliver and manage. In doing this we keep it simple, approach the job with purpose and humanity and above all, we enjoy what we do.

Testimonials

What our clients
say about us.

"My firm has engaged Rowan Wilson to develop the brand and marketing requirements for a number of our land developments across Melbourne. In that time he has delivered value, both when initially engaged and progressively throughout the entire life cycle of the project. Rowan has the ability to think differently and make suggestions that can genuinely impact the success of a project. Most recently he helped us launch and deliver a highly successful community day which delivered enquiry and sales well above expectations and has helped us move to construction phase ahead of schedule. We value his counsel in the branding and communication space and his ongoing interest in our success."

Craig Bass

Lauders Group

"We engaged Placemaker on recommendation at short notice to review our brand and work quickly to help organise a launch event. The result was beyond expectation. In two weeks they were able to deliver a quality event that helped drive diverse and sustained media coverage which included front page news in the main broadsheet and evening news coverage plus international interest and coverage plus trade magazine interest and even further business enquiries. Placemaker went above and beyond expectation by meeting after hours, delivering additional items at short notice and providing true communication counsel that is often promised but not often delivered these days. It’s why we have now engaged them to provide ongoing support to our business."

Ali Khanbashi

Advanced Circular Polymers

"I have worked with Rowan Wilson on several placemaking projects Australia-wide over the last ten years. These include a diverse collection of mixed use, apartment and land developments. He is one of the best drivers of property projects I have encountered and brings creativity and a can-do attitude to the task. Rowan is also very well connected to the right people to ensure a job can be seen through from end-to-end without fuss."

Frazer East

Founder, Resolution Property Group

"I was very fortunate to have Rowan Wilson highly recommended to me. From day one they were extremely professional in their approach and helped to produce and prepare all the necessary material - brochures, flip books, web-site, video, photography etc needed to bring a boutique apartment development project to the market. The end product was loved by both the market and myself and led to immediate early sales."

"Rowan knows hospitality and how to build our clientele. With a background as a chef and having run hospitality ventures himself, he speaks my language. This makes it easy to discuss opportunities and then see concepts that come back which are exciting and scalable."

"Creature Company is a new business providing in home pet care services. When I approached Placemaker I was concerned about what could be achieved with both a limited budget and social media marketing knowledge. Rowan and Carrmen assured me of their ability to work within a budget to deliver a suitable product while providing valuable advice and guidance along the way. I’ve been particularly impressed not only with the outcome but with how I’ve been treated throughout the process. Creature Company now has a genuine and engaging web presence in support of it’s business endeavours and I am confident in the knowledge that I have the team at Placemaker Studio to call on for additional support when required."
