THE BRIEF
Between our retainer hours and project work, we managed the Elephant Hill brand end to end; social media, events, design, digital, sponsorship and affiliate marketing all under one roof.


Winedogs
Created this sell-out event concept from the ground up, running it for two consecutive years to headline coverage and a devoted following.

Te Awanga Wine Festival
Created this festival, co-hosted by Elephant Hill; growing to 1,700 attendees and selling out in its final two years.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Sold-out FAWC event
Launched Elephant Hill's new Sea, Earth and Stone concept to two nights of 200 sold tickets each; at a time when events across the industry were being cancelled.
Air New Zealand partnership
Facilitated the relationship that placed Elephant Hill's Chardonnay in Air NZ Premium Economy.
Sparkling Rosé label
Designed the label and built the social campaign around it; creating a cult following that sold the wine out in its first summer.
Conor Mertens onboarding
Facilitated the arrival of the restaurant's new chef, helping earn a Cuisine hat; and significant PR; within two months of opening.
Sea, Earth + Stone concept
Designed the brand concept now used across Elephant Hill's entire range.
Organic community growth Grew the social following by 2,000+ and the email database to 3,500+ subscribers through consistent, always-on social media management.
Product launch photography & videography
Delivered the visual campaigns behind the R.R. Tempranillo, Sparkling Rosé, new menu launches and more.
Elephant Hill Christmas Market
Created this event from scratch; drawing 3,000 attendees two years running, with zero ad spend.
