PROJECTS

Here are some of the projects Lucy has worked on in the past & presently
Picture
Pastrami & Rye

Pastrami & Rye is a coffee shop and eatery to-go in Ellerslie village, Auckland City and the vision of owner Dave Donahue, after years of living in New York and Rome. Dave has built such an awesome concept with the highest standards which are evident from the friendly and immaculately dressed servers (including Dave) in bow tie and flat cap to the way he and the team present their platters, on a wooden branded board, neatly wrapped so you know you are experiencing something special!! Strategic Comms partnered with Pastrami & Rye to help connect their unique vision and insanely delicious food with their potential customers.  There was already a dedicated and loyal following on social media and already established trade relationships so the primary focus was on the best strategies to attract new customers and drive the most effective initiatives for commercial growth for the business.

Scotch-Brite 3M 2016- 2018
TV & digital  advertising campaign (strategy, creative & media)

FMCG is incredibly competitive. For the cleaning category,  many retail stores choose one or two suppliers per product set at each tier (premium/value) and the communications strategy created took those factors into account, honouring the brand positioning to reach the ideal customer, whilst also influencing the trade for future negotiations.

Kiwigarden 2017-2018
Digital advertising

​Working closely with Kiwigarden and BrandWorld NZ to develop a creative and media campaign that informed parents about Kiwigarden Snacks. Since the product was initially available in certain stores in NZ,  we used geographical, age and gender targeting to ensure our message was reaching parents,  in the locations the snacks were available.

Pams, Foodstuffs
Magazine campaign 

Pams is a homebred for Foodstuffs NZ so naturally distribution or influencing the retailer was never a focus for their campaign. They wanted to ensure they were top of mind for consumers, and that their products were regarded as a quality alternative to the more premium products in the category (this was before the rebrand of Pams, Pams Finest etc.).
​We created a strategy that kept Pams top of mind throughout the year, The TV guide magazine, which was one of the top 10 items bought in a NZ supermarket (number 1 is 1.5L of coke) was an obvious publication to partner with.  This strategy allowed Pams to influence to over  700,000 readers on a monthly basis with beautiful food imagery, brand presence and helpful recipes.

Paramount Pictures 
Digital marketing & print advertising

Movie companies make the best margins on their films during opening weekend and after that, the margin with the cinema's reduces. So it is incredibly important for Paramount Pictures to segment the people who are most likely to go and see their film, then target them with the movie poster or trailer to influence people to go and see the movie asap. Lucy worked with Paramount on various projects over the years from chick flicks to horror films.

Microsoft
Audience data

Microsoft have partnerships with media companies around the world, and in Australasia, this media partnership was with Channel 9.
