We make brands influential

Influence

The internet has democratised influence and by connecting brands with individuals, events or content that is influential we can change the behaviour of the communities that follow them.  The collaborations between these parties and the subsequent ideas we create generate brand influence through editorial coverage not paid media.

The notion of engineering  influence to effect brand perception, loyalty and purchase is not new or invented it is tangible, proven and in wide use in markets like the US and the UK. In emerging high growth markets like Brazil, India and China that have leaped frogged many traditional media channels and jumped headlong into digital an mobile ones, Influence is emerging as the dominant marketing approach.

Influence only works though when content or ideas that are relevant, authentic to the influencers values and ideals and sit comfortably with the brand are distributed in the right environment to the right community. Content for contents sake will be a recipe for failure, content that is created as a collaboration will change behaviour and that is what we call engineering influence.

Client: Air New Zealand

Project: Edition One

New Zealand is renowned globally for its adventure tourism options. As a country we also have world-class dining, shopping and accommodation options  – but most tourist literature points travellers to Victoria Park Market or a bungee jump.

Edition One sets out to change that. It is a 160 page, definitive guide to New Zealand that showcases the best the country has to offer, and purposely excludes the traditional clichéd content. 

Edition One is gifted to inbound Business and Premium Economy passengers travelling on Air New Zealand, select Koru lounges and through statement venues including The Standard Hotel (LA and NY), Colette and Dover Street Markets.

Client: Nike

Project: Night Track Video

Nike are an innovation company, they work tirelessly to create the best possible performance for their athletes and have done so since 1972. The brand has an archive worth talking about and a collection of products which are always in demand, whatever era they were created.
In limited numbers, Nike brought back its 1970's running shoe, The Night Track, the shoe took its aesthetic cues from the disco era.

We created this film to be distributed digitally around the world. The concept plays off the mind games you play in your head when you run, and the cult-esque following of Nike as a brand.

Client: Bank of New Zealand

Project: Not many cities

The effect of the 9000 earthquakes that had rocked Christchurch in the nine months since the first one hit had been well publicised. Across the country, corporates have been vocal and highly public in their support for those affected.

 

The BNZ wanted to take a different approach. Rather than spend money talking about the level of support they were giving they wanted to do something to galvanise the people of Christchurch and recognise what they had been (and are still) going through – a salute to their resilience.

The idea was to enroll Scribe to re-write, re-record and re-release his record breaking single Not Many, still New Zealand’s biggest selling single ever for Christchurch.

Client: Treasury Wine Estates NZ

Project: Kronenbourg 1664 – The Art of Pleasure

Kronenbourg 1664 is France’s national beer with over 40% market share. Treasury Wine Estates NZ wanted more New Zealanders to share in the pleasure of drinking this fine drop. An on-premise influencer programme was developed to coincide with Bastille Day and bring to life the global positioning line ‘The Art of Pleasure'
Ambassadors engaged with customers on entry to bars to influence ‘the first beer purchase’. Repeat purchase was encouraged through Kronenboug 1664 coins which were distributed on the purchase of a draught beer, and could only be redeemed for another Kronenbourg.

To create brand talk-ability on premise we commissioned six of New Zealand’s most influential artists to create their interpretation of the art of pleasure which were installed into hero bars.

Client: Lily Allen

Project: Launch             

Lily Allen had a unique style and voice - the challenge was to  find a way to launch her onto the international scene with her first album.

A unique look and style was created to match her music and market, giving Lily a clear positioning within the market.

Myspace was used as the launch medium (Lily was the first artist to launch via social online networks)  and we approached fans with a personal connection, allowing them to speak with Lily, and spread the word through their own genuine affiliation. 

19 million albums downloads were achieved.
