Social Gain: not your regular kind of event service.
Social Gain is a strategic engagement partner.
We’re a strategic engagement partner connecting leaders, businesses, creatives, and communities to co-design experiences that meet real needs, strengthen identity, and amplify impact.
Through events, projects, and collaborations, we deliver in a style that’s uniquely Social Gain: authentic, fabulous, and deeply human. Our work is collaborative, grounded in place, designed with care, and shaped by the communities we serve.
Our work is collaborative, grounded in place, designed with care, and shaped by the communities we serve.
Our purpose is simple: to improve well-being where we live, work, and socialise through meaningful connection.
What We Offer
Event strategy, design and delivery. Community engagement. Marketing for good. Purpose integration. Meaningful collaborations and win–win partnerships.
Creativity is not just a tool, it’s our strategy.
We work with the people in the room and the space between them, uncovering a deeper kind of data ~ what’s felt but not yet spoken, drawing insights across silos and differences.
Hi, I’m Sharon Quill - storyteller, strategist, social entrepreneur. Have you heard about Ikigai? It’s a beautiful Japanese concept about finding your reason for being — the sweet spot between what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. That’s me and Social Gain.
I’m a marketing, communications, and events professional with decades of experience across creative industries, community engagement, and values-driven initiatives. Event management has been a constant of my career — from large-scale AFTRS celebrations and national film tours, to premieres, launches, fundraisers, corporate days, and local gatherings.
At Variety, the Children’s Charity, I discovered how deeply purpose could drive impact.
I'm a copywriter by trade, marketing nerd, and storyteller by heart. My work spans a broad spectrum, from tech and law to education, entertainment, construction, beauty, government, and corporate sectors. Working with those making a difference however became my niche.
For several years I ran Sydney Writer, an end to end comms service for purpose-driven leaders - from corporate to life coaching, psychologists, therapists, and experts across the well-being space.
Shining a light on others and increasing the impact of work that makes a difference has helped form my ikigai and is the driving Better Together principles of Social Gain.
