Projects
  • Oporto Spin & Win
    Oporto Spin & WinThe client wanted a unique promotion design to generate attention to the opening of two new stores in the greater Auckland region. I developed our existing Spin to Win promotion wheel to meet the goals for this project. A bespoke design was created that was bold and enticing. Leaving the clients to be more than impressed with the outcome. The final production saw five physical 500mm spinning wheels produced, 50 x A0 posters and digital advertisements to promote in-store and on their websites. The spin wheels were a complete success. The new stores exceeded all expectations in terms of customer numbers and sale totals during the opening promotion.
  • BBX Membership Publication
    BBX Membership PublicationBBX New Zealand membership publication involved an overhaul of the original publication. The brief included the redesign to draw more interest as this is the first piece of collateral given to potential clients. Goals that were all meet were; deliver a clean decisive message, generate genuine interest through bold design development and finally use strong empowering imagery to develop connections between BBX and success. The client was incredibly pleased with the outcome. It is currently being used with huge improvements and a higher membership sign up rate. BBX manages the buying and selling of goods and services on behalf of its members in a cashless environment, utilising the BBX Global Alternative Currency Platform.
  • Brrh Pigeon Messaging App
    Brrh Pigeon Messaging AppBrrh lets users use Pigeons for what they have been used for over thousands of years. Referring to the use of pigeons as messenger birds. Over the last 100 years, this technique has been forgotten. Leaving negative social stigma around these intelligent life forms. Pigeons have a mind-boggling set of navigation skill that lets them find their way home from over 500 miles away. Brrh sets out to bring these now hated birds back into a modern light by using them for what they do best. With the latest pigeon recognition technology, Brrh allows the user to digitally tag their own messenger birds. Once a user tags a bird a name is assigned and other people attach messengers to this bird of any format. Allowing the owner to receive a feed of other people interact with his messenger. Over time these common birds will become something truly unique. Carrying around content that can be viewed by anyone at any time for the life of that bird. Creating a living breathing digital cloud of messages in the form of multimedia content.
