We
We are a creative collective. We market, promote and run large scale events and festivals. We also offer a full marketing and design solution for businesses and brands.
We are based out of Brisbane, Australia. Yes, we like it here. The weather is nice, the people are cool, the opportunities are a plenty and the parties are crazy. We are also very close to some beautiful beaches. There is an emerging creative scene that is about to explode out of the south east, and we are out to do what we can to embrace it and show it off to the world.
We love what we do and we love doing what we do for our clients. We take things very seriously and we like to have fun at the same time. We understand marketing is about achieving results, not just about making some noise. Luckily for our clients, we manage to do both.
We Think + We Create + We Play

Steven Papas
Director
At the heart of Arcade Creative sits local stalwart and entrepreneur Steven Papas. With a stint overseas trawling Europe five years ago, Steven took this as the perfect opportunity to absorb the culture of the fast-paced cities. Returning to relaxed and easy-going Brisbane, Steven took the chance and launched his own club night Dirty Thursdays. Artist such as Will I Am, The Crookers and Felix da House Cat have all rocked out mid week under the Dirty brand.
Due to his foresight, tenacity and brilliance, Thursdays would be the new start to the party weekend. In a natural progression the position of Monastery's Entertainment Manager was soon offered to Steven, and consequently his introduction to the fundamentals of the industry.
