STRATEGY :: BAY OF PLENTY
A FLOURISHING TOURISM VISION
This strategy shares the Bay of Plenty’s passion for its place in the world. The plan builds a future for tourism that regenerates instead of extracts, allowing the region to welcome visitors on its own terms.
CREATIVE :: THE CARIBBEAN
UNITING 26 NATIONS
A creative campaign platform that used sentiment data to uncover a common thread that helped a diverse region recover from two hurricanes. This historic collaboration captured the Caribbean’s shared life force: a rhythm that never stops.
FULL SERVICE :: CAMPBELL RIVER

CREATIVE :: SASKATCHEWAN
EMBRACING THE HATERS
Saskatchewan is arguably the most polarising tourism destination in Canada. Those who know it either love it or hate it with a passion. We created a campaign platform that rallied the community and addressed the elephant in the room head-on.
CREATIVE :: AIKEN SC
MAKING OLD NEW
A creative campaign platform that reminds the world of all the good that comes with sticking to the things that really are important in life – and how substance will always outweigh the superficial.

An innovative, hyper contextual campaign platform transformed a negative local sentiment into a cultural superpower. A remedy to the harried pace that shaped the lives of travellers in our target market.
