STELLAR* CONCEPTS GETS INNOVATIVE

Stellar* Concepts Australia has won two significant clients in the burgeoning innovation field with Advance and the Hargraves Institute.

• Advance is a global community of leading Australians around the world, headquartered in the US, with 20,000 members across 90 countries.  Its aim is to foster Australian talent abroad and ensure that we can tap into this resource for the benefit of Australia and Australian companies.  
• The Hargraves Institute is an Australian “trust-based” innovation hub sharing the wisdom of its 50 members with the aim of entrenching innovation practices deep within the Australian workforce.  The Institute reaches out to a network of leading Australian organisations selected because of their comprehensive understanding of organisational innovation both at home and abroad.

Stellar’s brief is to enhance the profile of both organisations focusing on their key activities. For the Hargraves Institute this includes the Innovator Recognition Program (IRP™), a systematic approach to grassroots innovation and the annual conference to be held in March 2013. 

Major Advance initiatives include a global awards scheme celebrating successful Australians and Australian alumni living abroad, global thought leadership summits for emerging and global leaders to explore ideas and trends, and an innovation program to equip Australian entrepreneurs and start-ups with the skills to navigate the global market place.

According to Stellar* managing director, Victoria Tulloch: “Both Advance and The Hargraves Institute are global leaders in innovation and it’s a honour to be selected as agency of choice for both of them in Australia.  We look forward to expanding the domestic and global profile of these organisations via social media, earned media and influencer engagement.”
