I AM NAMBOUR: Pictorial Feature. 20 Businesses in focus celebrating Nambour
How good is Nambour? Welcome to the Gazette’s “I am Nambour” Pictorial Feature. It’s a great chance for local businesses and organisations to share the love they have for the town that made the Sunshine Coast what it is today.
Spring has sprung and what better time to highlight some of our wonderful local businesses and organisations and promote Reimagine Nambour’s vibrant ‘I Am Nambour’ Brand?
The response to this feature has been great so we’re extending the initiative through spring. If you would like to take part (it’s free, all we need is your smile), just email Tanya at tanya@sunshinevalleygazette.com.au and we will come and take your photo, thereby catapulting you and your business to fame and fortune beyond your wildest dreams!
It's an opportunity to join other local businesses and collectively market under a brand that promotes pride in the town.
Nambour’s “I am Nambour” brand was unveiled June 8 to embody the diversity, resilience and pride of the town’s business community as part of Fairfax MP Ted O’Brien’s Nambour Economic Transition Strategy.
Please enjoy the Gazette’s “I Am Nambour” Feature.
