The dynamic partnership sees Busselton creative agency thebox take the lead in reimagining the Emergence Creative brand and style, while EUSO Digital has been hard at work developing a brand-new festival website.
bureau42 is leveraging its digital media expertise to enhance the festival's digital presence, while organisers said the specifics of Panda Candy's role are still under wraps.
Scott Robinson, founder of thebox and EUSO Digital, and co-founder of bureau42 and Panda Candy, is a central figure in the partnership.
"It felt like a natural fit from every part of our Network - to find a unique way to ensure that we could pull together and use our combined skills while tapping into the local network," Robinson said.
The partners said they were committed to actively contributing content and injecting their creative spirit into the festival, having forged relationships at at past Emergence Creative Festivals.
It was at those festivals that cofounder of bureau42, Jon Ricciardone, and Panda Candy's Glenn Sarangapany, connected with Scott Robinson, eventually leading to the creation of both businesses.

Festival Director Anita Pettit said the festival would return with renewed purpose.
"After a five-year break, Emergence is all set for an exciting comeback, refreshed by these new partnerships and a shared vision for its future," Anita said.
"Our combined efforts have been key in giving the festival a new energy and direction."
