Why Paint Juicy CONNECT? Because Paint Juicy connects!

Queensland and New South Wales · 42,000+ guests · 4.9 stars on Google

On Friday 21/11/2025, 151 guests booked an ABBA Live night in Springfield, out in Brisbane's west. No room across the CONNECT network topped it in the two years to 10/10/2026. If you want to advertise in Brisbane to people who are out, relaxed and ready for a good time, look past the river, because the city's biggest Paint night happened in a growth corridor.

Paint Juicy CONNECT is the partnership side of Paint Juicy ("Paint"), and it gives local businesses a part in those nights that guests actually welcome. This page sticks to greater Brisbane: the northside, the inner city, Ipswich and Springfield, and Logan. Everything that applies across the whole program, including the rules we never bend, sits on the Paint Juicy CONNECT hub.

Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan in Paint's sales book

Springfield's ABBA night is the headline, and it has good company. Across the CONNECT network, Paint rooms have sailed past 100 on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the Wide Bay and out through regional NSW, and greater Brisbane holds the top score of the lot. The hub keeps the full run of big nights. Here's how the map breaks down closer to home.

Springfield: the ABBA night that set the bar

A Friday in November, an ABBA Live night, 151 guests booked into one room. Springfield Lakes is already Queensland's most populous statistical area (more on that below), and that night showed exactly what the western corridor does when Paint comes to town. For a business between Ipswich and the Centenary suburbs, it's the room every other night gets measured against.

Northside and the inner city

Everton Park is Paint's northside address, with Saturday nights at 6pm, and the inner city has had its turn too, from Newstead to Kangaroo Point. Locals can check the Brisbane paint and sip calendar for what's next.

Ipswich: the west that sings on a school night

Ipswich has made the middle of the week its own, with 80s and 90s and 70s and 80s singalongs turning an ordinary Thursday into the loudest room in town, and it sits right next door to the Springfield crowd that set Paint's record. Ipswich and Springfield nights are listed on the Ipswich paint and sip page.

Logan: where the new suburbs head out

Paint has rolled through Loganholme, Yarrabilba and Marsden, three very different corners of a council growing faster than almost anywhere in Queensland. Yarrabilba is the one to watch: a whole suburb being built around new households hungry for a night out close to home.

Why the growth corridors are where Brisbane gets loud

Brisbane's biggest Paint room didn't happen within walking distance of the CBD. It happened in Springfield, where 151 people booked the same Friday night, and that tracks with how these suburbs live.

Our hunch: inner-city Saturdays offer a hundred options within walking distance, while a big night out in a growing suburb is rarer, so whole friendship groups book together, and they live, shop and book appointments nearby.

Why Paint Juicy CONNECT? Because Paint Juicy connects!

Greater Brisbane is full of people who spend the week in one council area and the weekend in another. Brisbane City Council's figures from the 2021 Census show that around a third of the people working in the city live outside it, with Logan and Ipswich among the biggest sources. She might sit at a desk in the CBD all week, then come home to a street in Ripley or Yarrabilba where she has barely met the neighbours.

A Paint night changes that. The woman from three doors down knows every word of the same Bee Gees song, and a table of workmates becomes a group chat that actually meets up. By the encore they're mates, the old songs feel new again and everyone has a canvas for the hallway. CONNECT lets your business join that circle without interrupting it.

Who lives across Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan

Figures below draw on the Census, state population estimates and council reports. Together, the three councils held more than two million residents at 30/06/2025.

Brisbane City: Australia's biggest council

Brisbane City counted 1,375,301 residents at 30/06/2025, more than any other local government area in the country, and added 21,464 people in a year, the biggest increase of any Queensland council. The 2021 Census put the median age at 36, with women making up 50.8 percent of residents. Council's economic profile counts 121,574 jobs in health care and social assistance in 2021, its largest employing industry, with three in four held by women. The city had almost 146,000 registered businesses at June 2025, and council projects 1.60 million residents by 2046.

Ipswich and Springfield: Queensland's fastest-growing city

Ipswich reached 268,272 residents at 30/06/2025 after growing 3.5 percent in a year, the fastest rate of any Queensland council. Its median age at the 2021 Census was 33. The state statistician counts the Springfield Lakes suburb area as Queensland's most populous statistical area, with 29,522 people at 30/06/2025, while the Ripley area grew 15.4 percent in 2024-25, the fastest rate among Queensland areas of 2,000 people or more. Health care, education and manufacturing are the biggest employers, and council expects to pass 500,000 people by 2046. And it's no newcomer: Ipswich was proclaimed a city in 1904.

Logan: big, young and building

Logan held 403,515 residents at 30/06/2025, up 11,949, or 3.1 percent, in a year, the second-fastest growth rate in Queensland. Its median age at the 2021 Census was 34. Its economic development office counts 24,520 jobs in health care and social assistance, ahead of construction and retail. Yarrabilba, declared a priority development area in October 2010, is planned for up to 50,000 residents, and Logan expects to pass half a million people by 2036.

What it means for local advertising in Brisbane

Young median ages put the thirties and forties end of Paint's crowd on these doorsteps. Big health workforces mean nurses and carers on rosters, so a night booked weeks ahead gets protected. And thousands of small owners are chasing the same newcomers. That's who CONNECT was built for.

Brisbane advertising, minus the traffic noise

You've probably been here. A radio quote for a city of 1.4 million comes back bigger than you hoped, because every car yard and franchise wants the same airtime. TV feels like a budget for national chains. Last month's boosted post earned a dozen likes, some from people a toll road away who were never going to visit. Fair worries, from someone spending their own money.

Think about the moment your spot actually plays. It's sound and nothing else, caught stop-start on the Ipswich Motorway at knock-off time, with the indicator ticking, a call coming through the car speakers and the sat-nav cutting in about a lane change. The feed is a quick thumb on the train home. Both channels can earn a place in your plan. Neither lets her taste, try or take home what you sell.

We contain the noise. A Paint room in Marsden or Springfield is up to 3 hours of one night, real people in real seats with nothing else competing for the space, and out west one of those rooms has already held 151. Your business can be heard between songs, shown on the screen, set on the table beside her glass, worked into the canvas she's painting, poured as a tasting where the venue signs off, carried home in a bag, then swapped at your counter for a freebie picked with her in mind. Paint plays rooms right across Queensland and New South Wales, and this format is one Paint is pioneering. The owner's version of this argument lives on the small business advertising page, while the hub explains why Paint contains the noise.

One city, three corners: how a campaign could play out

CONNECT is built on five big ideas behind CONNECT. Every item on the full CONNECT menu hangs off one of them. Across greater Brisbane the right mix changes with the postcode, so below are three illustrations, one per corner of the map, none of them a past client.

North of the river: a boutique that presents a Saturday

Imagine a northside fashion boutique with one shop and a loyal following. It becomes the "presented by" name on a Saturday night, visible on the public listing from day one. It owns the sponsored trivia round too, with a title card on the screen and a styling session in store as the prize for the table that knows its decades best. Every guest leaves with an offer card carrying a code for that night only. Nobody from the shop works the tables.

Out west: an Ipswich family business on the airwaves

Now picture an Ipswich bakery that has fed the same streets for decades. On a Thursday night it takes a spot in the Paint radio session as doors open and again in the goodbye set: the owner's own voice, a line about the vanilla slice, a reason to drop in on Saturday morning. Spots are mixed to sit between songs like a station break and never play over the host, Lotti or the singalong; the event partnerships page explains how on-air spots in Paint's radio session are made. Add a sample in each goodie bag and a page in the night's Town Pass (see sampling, goodie bags and the Town Pass), and the bakery has been heard, tasted and handed a reason to visit in one evening.

Down south: a Logan salon that starts on the street

Picture a salon in a Logan growth suburb that wants every new resident to know its name. The day before a Saturday singalong, a Paint street crew sets up near a local shopping centre with mini canvases and QR cards carrying the salon's offer and the night's details together. On the night, the salon touches up hair and lippy for anyone who opts in, just before canvases go up for photos. Paint films the fun on its own phones, real and in the thick of it, and anything bespoke for the salon's own socials gets properly planned and crafted together from the brief up. The crew side is covered on our street teams page.

And for the business that wants the whole map

A brand with stores across greater Brisbane can join these corners up: one offer, a different code for each suburb, and a run of nights that lets it compare Everton Park with Springfield with Marsden. Planning a run like that is covered under regional and touring campaigns. Between nights, a handful of newsletter ad spaces, priced on impressions rather than sign-ups, keep the name in inboxes; details are on our page about newsletters, video and social placements.

ABBA, the 70s and 80s and Homegrown Hits: where heritage brands belong

Call us what we are: Paint are peak nostalgia makers, and a theme's whole job is to drop a room back into its favourite decade. Greater Brisbane keeps proving it: ABBA in Springfield, 80s and 90s nights from Ipswich to Yarrabilba, 70s and 80s nights at Everton Park and Ipswich, plus Homegrown Hits in Springfield. Once the chorus kicks in, nobody is thinking about shopping. They're back at the school disco.

That's prime ground for a business with decades of local history. A Brisbane brand that was around when these songs topped the charts, a lolly or soft drink back in its old-school wrapper, a record and vintage store, or an Ipswich jeweller that has sized rings for three generations of one family: all of them belong in that moment. Ipswich's 70s and 80s Thursdays are the obvious first conversation. The hub explains why peak nostalgia makers suit heritage and retro brands so well.

Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan businesses ask us

We're an inner-city business. Is CONNECT only for the outer suburbs?

Not at all. Paint plays the northside and the inner city as well as the growth corridors, so a boutique, café or studio near the CBD can back a night close to its own door. Your customers may also live further out than your shopfront suggests. Tell us your postcode and theirs, and we'll suggest the room that fits.

Our customers live in Logan or Ipswich but work in the city. Where should we show up?

Meet her where she relaxes: settled for up to 3 hours at a local Paint night with her own people. Your offer can still point back to town: a lunchtime voucher for your CBD café, or an after-work appointment near her office. Give each night its own code and you'll see which suburbs your city customers actually come from.

Where are Brisbane's biggest rooms?

Out west, so far. Springfield's 151 is the room every other Paint night is chasing, and the growth corridors keep delivering the crowds that make a partner's night. What we do promise is an honest read on how each night is tracking and a report on what was delivered, when and to how many paid seats. If a night doesn't suit your goals, we'll say so before you commit.

Can my brand be part of an ABBA night?

That's exactly the conversation to start. ABBA Live packed 151 into one Springfield room, and a partner who wants that energy can help shape where and when the next one lands. Tell us the crowd and the month you're after and we'll build the night around it.

What can a weeknight in Ipswich do that a Saturday can't?

A Thursday guest heads home with Friday still ahead of her, which makes it a strong night for an offer she can use tomorrow: a lunch, a blow-dry before the weekend, a Friday flower order. That makes a local café or restaurant the obvious next stop.

We're a sole trader without a shopfront. Can we still take part?

Yes. Most businesses here are tiny: 62.5 percent of Brisbane City's registered businesses have no employees, and 97.6 percent of Logan's have fewer than 20 staff. A mobile beautician, a home baker or an online gift business can take a goodie bag spot, a Town Pass page or an opt-in demo, with a QR code that takes guests straight to a booking page or online store.
