About Annabelle Davidson (Née Smith)

Hello, thanks for stopping by! I'm Annabelle Davidson, the Founder & Director of Polite Playground (formerly Social Playground), an AFR Fast Starter company and the experts at igniting social media conversations and content creation at events.My career has spanned experiential, PR, social media and influencer marketing, including a two-year stint at one of New York's first influencer and social media marketing agencies.In 2013, I launched Australia's first Hashtag Printer - a live print station that printed photos directly from Instagram at events. The response from brands and businesses was overwhelming.In early 2020, Social Playground teamed up with industry leaders (and our arch-nemesis), Polite Social, to become a powerhouse in our space. Our offering has evolved to specialise in photo, gif and video content, interactive technology and large scale experiential activations. And we're not stopping there!As the instigators of fun and the experts at social engagement, we've been trusted by our clients at over 15,000 events and engaged literally hundreds of thousands of consumers through innovative branded experiences.I'm obsessed with innovation, technology and discovering new ways of doing things - whether that be in growing Polite Playground and my team, making my client's lives easier or engaging consumers at events. With three small kids, the juggle is very real, but I am an advocate for flexible work arrangements and finding a happy work/life "balance".
