Recipient of oOh!media’s Indigenous Business Grant announced
The Unexpected Guest, a company specialising in organic food products, has been awarded the Indigenous Business Grant by oOh!media, selected from a total of 63 entries.
The inaugural grant was launched to support Indigenous-owned small through pro-bono media packages.
Founded in 2016 by Jenny Khan, The Unexpected Guest uses native ingredients sourced from Australian-owned businesses to create delicious products that promote health and wellbeing, such as health bars and organic mueslis.
oOh!media selected the South Western Sydney company because of its entrepreneurial spirit, growth ambitions, and commitment to working with like-minded partners to advance First Nations commerce.

The Unexpected Guest director and owner, Jenny Khan, said as a fully First Nations Australian small business, she loves bringing great-tasting organic breakfast products to the tables of people across the country.
“Driving awareness of the brand continues to be a challenge, so being chosen by oOh! for its first Indigenous Business Grant will give us much needed exposure to help us realise our objectives.”
In 2023, oOh!media launched its inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan to strengthen awareness of and relationships with First Nations people and drive meaningful reconciliation action across the business.
oOh!media group director, ESG Sarah Young, noted that the quality of submissions for the grant was outstanding.
“Amongst the strong contenders was The Unexpected Guest, an innovative business that has demonstrated ongoing success and resilience, and we are delighted to help support Jenny and this First Nations small business with national audiences at scale across the oOh! network.”
Applications for the 2025 inaugural Indigenous Business Grant will open in December.
