Edwin is a cult Fashion brand with 4 stores and over 75 stocks across Europe. The owners had built several successful brands in Europe including Carhardtt WIP. Their vision was to transform Edwin brand from a niche-Denim label to mass-market European lifestyle brand.

We initiated a comprehensive analysis of their marketing performance in Europe, using social media analytics to benchmark them against key competitors.

This analysis informed a marketing strategy to evolve the brand and a programme of initiatives to appeal to current and prospective customers. Over two years we planned and delivered two major European integrated campaigns with a consistent, targeted and impactful marketing message across all touch-points. As part of this programme we completed a complete website rebuild with enhanced eCommerce experience.

The programme resulted in 2 years of best YOY growth across Europe and a new ‘Denim lifestyle’ brand proposition that remains unchanged since launch.

Skycity Entertainment Group is a NZX listed business generating normalised revenue of NZD1.1 billion in 2019. Challenged by demographic shifts and increased competition, CEO Nigel Morrison wanted to transform the customer experience across their 5 properties in New Zealand and Australia.

A cross-functional innovation team was established to develop a concept for an end-to-end experience encompassing all offers and stages in the customer journey. Our user-centred approach uncovered seven priority customer 'pain-points' that were preventing easy and seamless whole-of-site visitation. This process identified new areas of opportunity to develop exciting customer experiences that drive word-of-mouth.

The result was a detailed blueprint which for a new ‘integrated resort’ App, entrance into eSports, large-scale tourism attraction in Auckland and mobile-tools to empower staff to deliver outstanding hospitality.

For their new flagship coffee bar, Kōkako wanted to create a self-serve experience that promoted the use of reusable cups, without alienating their customers who aren’t ready to make the shift. We designed a self-serve Tablet App that makes choosing reusable cups easy and helps customers beat the queues while they’re at it.

The App is seamlessly integrated into their point of sale system, eliminating double entry and making management a breeze. Conscious of technology reducing customer interaction, we replaced the boring 3-digit order number with a native bird name. Now Kokako customers can hear the barista say "Order up Pukeko!” — a fun new ingredient to the daily coffee ritual.

As well as reducing waste, the self-serve experience entices 10,000 local office workers to discover the wider beverage Menu at Kokako. We successfully pitched a mobile game idea to their landlord at Commercial Bay to create a ‘spin to win’ game in the Precinct App. This exclusive perk now creates daily delight and increased visitation.
