REGAL PIONEERS
AUSTRALIA 

Chivas Regal Australia Pioneers Cover image

The Regal Pioneers landed in Australia to inspire the next generation of cultural entrepreneurs. Created to uplift, share and instil confidence, we’re helping those forging their own path to success through open masterclasses and workshops.

Our Pioneers shared their unique expertise to attendees at two workshops (held in Sydney and Melbourne), featuring practical resources on creating online commerce, building a strong digital brand, establishing a presence, creating a community and understanding that authenticity is key. The workshop also provided tangible theory to applicable skills through interviews, three presentations and practice groups. And to celebrate their work? A Chivas XV party, of course!

Discover their stories and online workshops now.

JAKE PACO – GEEDUP CO

Jake Paco, Founder of GeedUp Co, has always envisioned the brand as a synonym for street culture and hip-hop, with the community at its core. Each collection of exclusive streetwear often sells out within minutes online, but beyond apparel, Geedup Co represents a collective for those who have chosen the road less travelled – or better yet, those boldly forging their own path with unapologetic authenticity.

The business was launched in 2010, starting from scratch in a garage in western Sydney. Since then, the company has focused on community and building a business from a brand, developed around three pillars: content, community, and commerce. Discover the workshop presented by Paul Waddy, GeedUp’s e-commerce consultant, as he shared extensive knowledge on driving revenue and growth.
