Social Gain.not your regular kind of event service.
I'm Sharon — a strategic engagement partner connecting leaders, businesses, creatives and communities to co-design experiences that meet real needs, strengthen identity, and amplify impact. Sometimes that looks like strategy. Sometimes it looks like 300 people in red dresses doing the Kate Bush.
My work is collaborative, grounded in place, designed with care — and shaped by the communities I serve. Creativity isn't just a tool. It's my strategy.
I 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.
My purpose is simple: to improve well-being where we live, work and socialise — through meaningful connection.
Four ways in. One approach.
Event strategy, design & delivery
From concept to load-out — events built for meaning and momentum, not just headcounts and hashtags.
Community engagement
The people in the room, and the space between them. Consultation that actually gets people to show up.
Marketing for good
Copy, comms and campaigns for purpose-driven leaders who want to sound like themselves.
Meaningful collaborations
Win–win partnerships that turn purpose into measurable impact. Better, together.

Orana Woman
The year-round home of the Every Woman Festival — stories, gatherings and a directory for the women of the Orana. The festival is the peak; this is where the stories live in between.

Hi, I'm Sharon Quill. Storyteller, strategist, social entrepreneur.
Copywriter by trade, marketing nerd and storyteller by heart. Decades across creative industries, community engagement and values-driven work — from AFTRS celebrations and national film tours to Variety, the Children's Charity, where I learned how deeply purpose could drive impact.
Have you heard about Ikigai? 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.
