Meet Aturo, our next amazing content creator from PNG! A passion for photography opened the door to creating TikTok content that showed behind the scenes of his photography process. Starting during COVID, his content journey took inspiration from other personalities like Bret Man Rock and has since evolved into other areas including funny videos, dances, and modelling. For Aturo, every second counts as a moment for inspiration, whether it’s coming up with an idea while he’s dreaming, or while in the forest hiking. Now that’s a true creative mindset!

We're thrilled to share how our partnership with The Coca-Cola Company led to something immersive for the people of Port Moresby! In 2022, we pitched a series of 'Big Ideas' to Coca-Cola, aiming to capture their brand's essence in the PNG community. When Paradise Cinema decided to refurbish their Premium Lounge, we seized the opportunity to rebrand it as the Coca-Cola Premium Lounge. After months of collaboration with AdFocus, Paradise Cinema PNG, TCCC, and Hogarth, the lounge was transformed into a vibrant space where every detail reflects the Coca-Cola brand. The current Marvel Epic Battle Campaign Premiere was the first of many exciting events hosted in this unique venue. The Coca-Cola Premium Lounge isn't just a venue—it's a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. We're excited about the possibilities this opens up for businesses across PNG!
