We don’t have a house style, but we do have high standards. We never ‘settle’. Our brands are bold,
full of personality, and disrupt. What we care about most is working with like-minded people who ‘get it’.
We solve problems with authenticity, process-driven strategy, and an eye for what your audience wants (even if they don’t know it yet). If we don’t believe in your business, we won’t work on it.

We thrive on collaboration, honesty, and a shared commitment to doing great work. We’ll take you on the journey, challenge your thinking, and say no when it’s needed — all with the aim of getting the best result for your business. We don’t look for inspiration in obvious places.

We’re vibrant, nimble, fun, and easy to talk to. We take our work very seriously, but seldom ourselves. We value human connection and our clients often turn into long-term collaborators and friends. We’re embedded in Sydney’s cultural fabric — its venues, its hospitality, its music scene, its queer spaces.
We’re always pumping music through the studio speakers. We live and breathe creativity, and we’re always up for doing cool stuff that pushes boundaries (or buttons). We love a challenge and we’re never bored.

Add a passion for health and wellness – she brings an edge to her strategically-driven, award-winning work. Each project is a reflection of her journey, ethos, and the vibrant life she leads.

“SUPERHAUS’ strategic vision and creative expertise has been instrumental in establishing FOMME as a pioneering force. Positioning the brand with a blend of authority and community spirit, she broke free from the homogenous and outdated norms of our industry. By our second event, pre-sales sold out within hours, without a lineup – a testament to the power of our brand. Bel provided us with a solid foundation that empowered us to push boundaries and become trailblazers in our field.”

– Phoebe + Holly, Founders, FOMME

“SUPERHAUS’ ability to consistently deliver exceptional results, pushing boundaries while maintaining authenticity, is truly impressive. With a meticulous approach, a depth of creativity and a constant pursuit of perfection, Belinda brings a professional finesse to every job. It is hard to find people that just ‘get it’ on a cultural level like Bel does. It’s been years working together now, and the efficiency of our collaboration continues to grow with each project.”

– Monique Lane, Founder, Fellow Hospitality

“Impressed is going from strength to strength, much to do with the brilliance of our design, which many of our partners compliment us on. SUPERHAUS’ attention to detail and the depth of her research showed in the strength of the concepts and will no doubt contribute to the longevity of the brand. It’s safe to say we’re streets ahead of our contemporaries in terms of brand.”

– Jonno, Creative Director, Impressed Recordings

“Working with the team was overwhelmingly positive – one of the best experiences I’ve had in two decades of running businesses. They nailed the brief effortlessly, making the entire journey seamless. Since implementing their work, there has been a significant increase in organic lead traffic with my calendar now always full. I am completely satisfied with every aspect: not only did they meet our brief with flawless design, but the whole journey was an absolute delight from start to finish.”

– Damien Chambers, CEO, NewGen Families

“Working with SUPERHAUS was seamless; they turned our vision into something distinctive and memorable. Their ability to balance creativity with strategic thinking truly stood out – they crafted a brand with real personality, and perfectly captured the rooftop's energy with a refined yet impactful aesthetic. The brand played a huge role in positioning Beverly as a premium destination and has been a key part of our recognition in Melbourne’s hospitality scene.”

– Cam Northway, Managing Director, Beverly Rooftop

"We’ve worked with SUPERHAUS on four branding projects now, and the experience has always been exceptional. What we value most is Bel's deep understanding of brand and the ability to craft something that feels both distinctive and true to our business. The creativity and strategic thinking behind each concept has truly set our brands apart. Their process is seamless, collaborative, with delivery always beyond expectations. Every detail feels purposeful and cohesive. We now have stronger brand presence, greater engagement, and a real connection with our audience."

– Jonna Kristiansson, Ops Manager, Raw Bar, RND, LULU, Luca & Luca

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

Turning joy into a superpower through ECSTATICA

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of the world’s most iconic queer cultural institutions. Now in its 48th year, the rebrand took something the community was crying out for—joy—and made it a superpower.

This joy acts as a force for participation, agency, safety, and long-term value. It’s no longer an expression that’s only around for two weeks of the festival, but a platform that keeps the celebration going all year.

The 2026 iteration is ECSTATICA—queer joy in all its glory; inclusive, outrageous, loving, defiant, collective and euphoric.

This is our party. This is our power.

The Brief

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was creating a new brand every season, which was proving limiting for a community-funded organisation. It needed a platform with the staying power to go all the way to a fabulous 50th in 2028.

The brand was built on the belief that joy can be a transformative force for LGBTQIA+ communities to feel safer, visible, and free.

At its heart is the infinity heart—a customisable asset that can change across events and across seasons, and celebrate the diversity in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Every aspect of the brand was designed to make joy something you can feel.

Cultural Context

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is the most important—and visible—queer cultural event in Australia. Known for its annual parade, it represents a program of 145+ events, a global community, and a way for people to connect all year round.

As queer rights are being stripped away across the world, it was more important than ever for SGLMG to showcase the power of community uniting, and the social change queer joy inspires when it’s visible to everyday Australians.

Brand Transformation

Ultimately the brand needed to capture the thrill of being there at Mardi Gras.

Joy was infused into every infinity heart—with gummy bears, harnesses, carabiners and flags giving nods to different communities. It acted as a canvas for local queer artists. The day-to-night spectrums and warped-type system frame the heart and heighten the senses for a visceral feeling of joy. And local legend Paul Mac recorded ECSTATICA inspired by the 2026 festival and his own first Mardi Gras.

While it looks fabulous, the brand transformation was never just cosmetic.

It redefined how the festival behaves and grows. It repositioned Mardi Gras as an always-on platform, to turn attention into bookings, advocacy, and community participation. It made sure visibility meant not just being seen; but getting involved.

The brand also represents organisational change. The three-year plan is built around learning and growth, financial resilience, artistic and community excellence, and data-driven stakeholder management.

Results

The transformation produced clear commercial, participation, and fundraising outcomes.

In 2026, the average signature event reached 97% capacity (vs 85% in 2025) and Mardi Gras+ participation grew 107% year on year.

The broader public footprint was also substantial. 40k people attended Fair Day, supported by 284 stallholders and 262 volunteers. The parade had 8.9k participants and 166 floats, and it reached 1.5 million broadcast viewers on the ABC channel—making it a top 3 program.

Marketing performance improved materially. The conversion-led campaign delivered +14.5% clicks y.o.y, +252% conversions y.o.y, and +8.55% higher engagement on site.

The new brand didn’t just drive attention—it drove a more valuable audience. The 2026 report states donation-driving activity raised over $440k, nearly 8x more than previous years, with leadership directly linking the result to a strategy focused on diversifying revenue and strengthening the organisation ahead of its 50th anniversary.
