The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.

The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.

Mason Developments needed help launching their new development Olde Cork Farm. This property development company needed a whole, new brand image. Previously marketing highrise apartments, this new development was focused on country living and modern farm-style homes.

Instead of marketing simply the houses I created a marketing strategy to immerse their audience into the entire lifestyle. They aren't buying a house, they're buying an exclusive lifestyle for their family. Wake up in the morning with the heartwarming sounds of birds chirping, feeling the cool morning breeze. Sunrise through to sunset in the mountains. Driving through beautiful wine farms. Wild horses and parks where dogs play. Showing the essence of what it means to be so fortunate to live in Constantia. A level of luxury, splendour, and warm sophistication. Memories and nostalgia are the main themes of the story, connecting the viewers with the brand and leaving them feeling emotionally moved.

As a U.S. based company WardJet was looking to increase their sales of large, production grade, industrial waterjet cutting machines across Canada. Though they were scaling a significant budget to their campaigns, the conversion rates remained less than 1% and inbound MQL’s (marketing qualified leads) were not increasing proportionately.

American Atelier came to me seeking to push sales. They were running a unusual strategy of looking for low cost bids as a means to keep ACOS low but they were missing on potential sales with low impressions built on a strategy based not on winning but saving money.
