A Melbourne Kid Who Was Made for the Screen
Some talents make you smile the moment they walk into a room. Coco is one of them. At just 12 years old, this Melbourne-based performer has already appeared in two major national commercials — Bupa Dental’s ‘Good Health is Contagious’ and Australia Post’s ‘Spread the Merry’ — and she has been a proud member of the Bubblegum Casting family since 2021.
Her bookings aren’t a coincidence. They’re the result of a young performer who brings something genuinely rare to every set: authenticity, energy, and a screen presence that brands like Bupa and Australia Post recognise immediately. When big-name clients want real joy and real connection on camera, they call talent like Coco.
As one of Melbourne’s most exciting young performers on our books at Bubblegum Casting — a leading kids talent agency in Melbourne — Coco is proof that the right representation opens the right doors.
From Dental Campaigns to Christmas Magic: Coco’s Commercial Bookings
Appearing in a Bupa Dental TVC is no small thing. The ‘Good Health is Contagious’ campaign called for warmth, energy, and the kind of genuine smile that can’t be manufactured — and Coco delivered exactly that. She held her own alongside a professional production crew and came away from set with the kind of experience that shapes a performer.
Then came Australia Post’s ‘Spread the Merry’ Christmas campaign — one of the most high-profile festive commercial slots on Australian screens. Being cast in a campaign of this scale at her age speaks volumes about Coco’s ability to connect, perform under pressure, and bring a brand’s vision to life. She spread the merry, alright. On national television.
For families exploring kids commercial casting in Melbourne, Coco’s journey is a real-world example of what consistent representation, the right agency, and a camera-ready personality can achieve.
Active, Expressive, and Completely Unstoppable
What makes Coco so compelling on screen is what she brings to life off it. She is a hip hop dancer, a music lover, and a movement-based performer with a natural ability to express emotion through her whole body. Her physical training is extensive — Coco competes in Special Olympics gymnastics, training across floor, bars, and beam, where she has developed remarkable strength, coordination, and discipline.
Her athleticism doesn’t stop there. Coco also horse rides, swims, and runs — all of which contribute to the kind of physical confidence and body awareness that translates powerfully on camera. Directors notice it. Brands notice it. You notice it the moment she steps in front of a lens.
Coco has Down Syndrome, and she is a powerful example of what happens when the industry makes space for every kind of talent. Her presence in national campaigns sends a clear message: inclusive casting isn’t a checkbox. It’s good storytelling. And Coco tells a great story.
What Coco’s Family Says About Bubblegum Casting
