THE STORY
Wander: A Polished Bistro in Wynyard Quarter from the Team behind Ambler
Wander, located in Wynyard Quarter and founded by the team behind Ambler, is a sophisticated bistro that seats 90 guests and serves fresh, seasonal dishes with a French twist. They have an all-day brunch menu available until 3 pm, a bistro menu available from 11am until late, and also offer baked goods, filled baguettes, and sandwiches. The drinks list is impressive, featuring beverages that complement both wine and beer. When we began working with Wander, it was an excellent option for individuals looking for a speedy lunch or a relaxed dinner, but it needed more visibility to attract customers. Following a marketing audit, we could gained a thorough understanding of their current marketing activities, enabling us to review and identify areas for improvement, and establish a digital marketing strategy to increase awareness of their evening activity.
THE STORY
Datella: A Natural and Healthier Way to Satisfy Your Sweet Cravings
Datella is a start-up that aims to cater to people’s natural sweet cravings. Their mission is to provide a healthier spread made from natural ingredients. Ola, the founder, has traveled extensively and resided in numerous countries, including Dubai, UAE, where she was inspired to create Datella, a low-calorie natural spread. During her time in the Middle East, Ola discovered that most sweets contained high amounts of sugar or sugary syrups. She wanted to find a healthier and more natural way to satisfy her sweet cravings and fell in love with dates. This passion for dates led to the creation of the brand, selling mainly in Organic or gourmet shops across in New Zealand.
