Creating a Platform Where Sport and Entrepreneurship Collide

At Media8, we’ve never been interested in doing things the usual way. We’re not here to tick boxes or follow templates. We’re here to build something that lasts—something that matters.

Right now, we’re working on a project that’s bigger than sport. It’s about creating a space where young girls can be inspired, mentored, and supported—not just as athletes, but as leaders, founders, and creators.

The Vision: A Professional Women’s Team on the Gold Coast

We’re putting together a bid to bring a professional women’s basketball team to the Gold Coast. But this isn’t just about building a team—it’s about building a movement.

We want at least half the team to be homegrown within five years. That means elite pathways, access to world-class coaching, and a support system that helps young women thrive. Not just in sport, but in life.

Beyond the Court: A Startup Hub for the Next Generation

We’re also exploring the idea of building a facility that combines elite sport with a startup hub. Imagine a space where athletes train in the morning and pitch ideas in the afternoon. Where sport and entrepreneurship live side by side.

This isn’t just a building—it’s a mindset. A place where young girls can learn to lead, take risks, and build something of their own.

Mentorship, Ownership, and Opportunity

We’re building this with strong women at the centre. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it—whether that’s through mentorship, ownership, or helping shape the vision.

If you believe in the power of sport, storytelling, and giving young girls a crack at life, this is your moment.

Final Word

Media8 is more than a sports marketing agency. We’re a platform for change. A place where stories are told, futures are built, and the next generation of women are given the tools to lead.
