Brand design for “Seaglass Cottage”, a BnB in Wellington,
and its little sister “The Nook”.




The Brief


Seaglass Cottage is a family owned holiday home located across the road from Days Bay beach, a popular beach destination in Wellington. Beachfront and peaceful; it’s the perfect place to escape the busyness of life, explore and recharge.

The design should reflect the natural peace and it’s warm, quirky, beachy personality.

Reaching the top of your game in any sport is not easy.
It takes years of hard work, travelling and sacrifices, not just by the player but by those who support them.
These heroes give their everything,and move mountains to make it happen for those people they support.
Rewards come for those who make it to the top; fame, money and travel.
This TVC directed by the renowned director Christine Jeffs recognizes the supporters too. A big thanks to parents, sisters, mates and neighbours for being the backbone of sports in New Zealand, from the smallest to the biggest team.

The Brief

Increase the number of little Wellingtonians visiting the Zoo, by letting them know about the opening of a new area with improved bear and tiger enclosures, that allows visitors to get closer to the animals.


The Idea

Bring the Zoo to the city through a series of eye-catching posters portraying different zoo animals, which transmitted live sounds from their enclosures.
The campaign also included a makeover of the City - Zoo bus with a surprise jungle inside, as well as press, online, radio and cinema ads, all encouraging kids to experience their wild world up close at the new Asia Precinct.
During the campaign the Zoo saw an increase in visits of 198% compared to an average week in the same year.

*Newspaper ad ‘Bear got your tongue’ for Wellington Zoo took top spot in the ‘Best Craft – Art’ category at the News Works 2013 Newspaper Ad of the Year awards. Wellington Zoo ‘Eye of the Tiger’ was runner up in the ‘Best Craft – Art’ category.
