A complete 360 A career path from the coast to remote North Queensland and back to the coast has proven to be the driving force behind Townsville’s newest digital creative agency. BORN and raised on the Gold Coast, Christian Gordon is no stranger to North Queensland. After completing his degree in PR at Bond University and working in public sector government lobbying roles on the Gold Coast and in London, he took a ‘rural’ change and moved to Abergowrie, west of Ingham in 2009.

he launched 360 Cre8ive Enterprises – a full service creative agency specialising in communications, digital design and public relations. Now with an office in Townsville (Palmer Street) and on the Gold Coast, 360 Cre8ive services clients throughout Queensland, from Coolangatta to the Torres Strait. Christian’s three main areas of specialty are education (schools, educational authorities, universities and Registered Training Organisations), health and Indigenous affairs and he is proud to have worked collaboratively with these industries in producing events and campaigns that have driven engagement and social change. Christian says his point of difference is the strategic integration of communications, digital design and public relations – with a team of collaborators who are university qualified and experienced in these areas. “It has been an exciting, challenging and rewarding journey and I have been honoured to work with organisations that are making a difference – from schools and universities through to the youth health campaign for TAIHS and celebrating the arts with the Mulkadee Youth Arts Festival,” Christian
says. “We’ve just found out that one of our recent videos has been named a finalist in the Queensland Music Awards, so we are thrilled – as well as nervous! “We specialise in helping clients to use and maximise technology such as social media, video and digital marketing to build their businesses and be in the face of highly targeted audiences, 24/7. “We are dedicated to providing excellent service and we love to share in our clients’ stories and success.” 360 Cre8ive Enterprises 30 Palmer Street Townsville 47724153 admin@360cre8ive.com.au www.360cre8ive.com.au
