Why brands come to us.

More than 25 years in the industry across our team, in sales, production, fabrication and installation, and one team that sees your job all the way through.

  • One team, start to finish

    We plan it with you, design it, make it and install it. No chain of suppliers, and nothing lost between them.

  • One person to call

    One point of contact from the first chat to the last bolt, whoever's on site that day.

  • The install, done properly

    Most suppliers hand the install to someone else, and that's where jobs fall apart. The people who plan yours install it.

  • Built to last

    Materials and methods that hold up in the real world, not just in a presentation.

  • Straight talking

    Clear timelines, honest quotes, no surprises. We tell you what's achievable, then deliver it.

  • Open on time

    We plan back from your opening day and install after hours, so your doors stay open.

The Gallery of Stories: a story panel beside one of the people it's about, at BrainLink's 20th birthday

Start to finish, for BrainLink.

BrainLink turned twenty and wanted the celebration to be about the people: the families, carers and community members who've shaped it over two decades.

We took the time to capture their stories, then turned each one into a freestanding panel in a gallery the guests walked through.

The gallery became a standout of the night, and BrainLink will keep sharing the stories at its events for years to come.

How an In Mind job runs.

Step by step: a pop-up, from the first site visit to the doors opening.

  1. Your vision, the space and the goals first. We survey the site, then guide you to the right approach, materials, budget and timing.

    You get: a measured site and a plan.

  2. Ideas turned into designs that work in the real world. The artwork, the details and the finishes are agreed before anything is made.

    You get: drawings and artwork to sign off.

  3. The print, the skins and the frame, made and checked against the drawings before anything leaves for site.

    You get: every piece made to spec, on time.

  4. The same team on site, start to finish. Stood up, finished and checked before the doors open.

    You get: the people who planned it, installing it.

In their words

What the brands and the people we build for say about the work, and about working with us. Their words, never ours.

  • “What stands out is their capability, attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. I've worked with Luke and the team for many years across a range of projects, most recently delivering premium exhibition activation pieces within tight timeframes.”

    Rick PriceGM, Signage, Harry the Hirer

  • “Luke's ability to work with us creatively and tweak files when required is incredibly helpful when working to tight deadlines. In Mind Activations has helped us deliver a range of internal and external signage solutions for large-scale events. They're professional from concept through to delivery, provide quality materials and application, and always go the extra mile.”

    TJ CarrollDirector, Engage at Disegno

  • “Their ability to transform experiences into compelling narratives is remarkable. What stood out most was the team's ability to listen with empathy and truly understand what mattered. They took the time to capture not just facts, but the heart and emotion behind each story. The stories they created for our anniversary celebration exceeded all expectations and generated an overwhelmingly positive response from participants, carers, families, staff, supporters and guests.”

    Sharon StrugnellCEO, BrainLink Services

  • “We worked closely with Luke, through a heritage consultant, on the heritage signage installation at 280 Little Collins Street. He made what could have been a complex process feel simple and well managed. His communication was clear, he took ownership of the outcome, and everything was delivered professionally, exactly as promised.”

    Josh BeagleyDirector of Hospitality, Rodd & Gunn

Questions brands ask.

Or skip the questions: call Anya on 0431 277 601.

Do you design it, or do we?

Either. We design from your brief, or work from your designer's artwork and prepare the files for production. Most brands that come to us direct have us do the lot.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the size, the materials and the site. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll quote it properly, with no surprises later.

How long does it take?

It depends on the job, but tight deadlines are normal for us. Tell us the date it has to be up and we'll plan back from it.

Will we have to close while you install?

No. We install after hours and before opening, so you keep trading as normal.

Do you handle council and shopping centre approvals?

We prepare the drawings and paperwork shopping centres ask for, and can advise on council permits for signs.

Can you roll it out to all our stores?

Yes. One plan, trusted crews wherever the job is, and one point of contact for every site.

Who will we deal with?

Anya, from the first call to the handover, whoever's on site that day. You won't be passed around.
