IT’S POLO, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT…
Polo Enterprises Australia Pty Limited (PEA) has established itself as a leading organisation in the promotion and development of polo in Australia. Founded in 2006 by Ruki Baillieu and Janek Gazecki, PEA has successfully introduced the sport to a wider audience, while also creating valuable marketing platforms and unique corporate entertainment opportunities.
One of PEA’s flagship series, ‘Polo in the City,’ has gained widespread recognition and acclaim. It has significantly increased polo club membership across the country and has been hailed as the ‘Event of the Year’ by the media. The series has generated over $23 million in positive marketing value for host cities, sponsors, and polo in general, making it one of the most valuable branding and promotional assets in the market. The participation of international polo stars like Nacho Figueras, as well as the attendance of celebrities, dignitaries, heads of state, and royalty, adds prestige to these events.
‘Polo in the City’ stands out as Australia’s only national polo series and one of the largest in the world. However, PEA’s contributions go beyond this series. The organisation has successfully introduced Beach Polo to Australia and co-founded the Australian Beach Polo Association. They have also developed ‘Polo by the Sea,’ a sister series to ‘Polo in the City,’ which focuses on seaside tourist locations and holiday destinations. By working closely with local councils and tourism commissions, PEA aims to develop ‘Polo by the Sea’ into a national and international tourist attraction that benefits local communities and the tourism industry at large.
While PEA focuses on its sporting and commercial objectives, it has also demonstrated a commitment to giving back to the community. Through its events, the organisation has raised significant funds for various charities, including Variety, ACRF, BMDI, Toy Box, Smile, and Quarter Club. This philanthropic aspect highlights PEA’s dedication to making a positive social impact and supporting important causes.
Overall, Polo Enterprises Australia has played a vital role in the growth and promotion of polo in Australia. With their flagship series, innovative concepts like Beach Polo and ‘Polo by the Sea,’ and their commitment to charitable initiatives, PEA has established itself as a pioneering force in the sport, while also contributing to the wider community.
