Otahuna Lodge

The new owners of Otahuna Lodge, a historic Canterbury homestead converted into up-market accommodation, required branding collateral of exquisite taste.

G&A developed a logo that truly referenced the location, Edwardian history, appearance and luxury of the house. G&A was then challenged to create a unique, elegantly-branded guest-room compendium and came up with the wooden box featuring laser-cut marquetry of the logo on a sliding lid. The G&A team oversaw all production, working with local artisans using native timbers.

COUPLANDS

Coupland’s is committed to regular, seasonal promotional activity, and needed fresh campaigns to get customers repeatedly buying their products. G&A has developed and rolled out national promotional campaigns.

The company also regularly launches new products such as cupcakes, slices and lunches-to-go. G&A has generated the product brands, all collateral required including point-of-sale; posters; print ads and packaging. Delicious colour palettes and photography are used to appeal to the target market and tempt their taste buds.

The Champion Centre

The Champion Centre is a registered charitable trust supporting families of children with developmental delays.

The Centre needed to gain greater community awareness through media exposure and advertising. G&A refreshed the brand and created a professional fund-raising package. The new package is now part of a large referral programme being carried out by the families involved in the Centre and is being used to open new fund-raising channels.

CHRISTCHURCH AGENCY for ENERGY (CAFE)

Christchurch Agency for Energy (CAfE), an organisation committed to educating the Christchurch public about using energy more efficiently and weaning people of dependency on fossil fuels, was funded by the city council. The organisation collated data on energy use and came up with ways of using less energy, embracing alterative fuels, and of educating the public on implementing its recommendations. G&A developed a logo comprising four motifs which represented four different alternative energy sources. Together, they formed an image used to brand the CAfE organisation, and individually, the motifs identified information about bio-fuels, hydro-electricity, solar power and wind power.

Templates were developed for print advertising campaigns, with a focus on hard information about benefits to energy consumers about potential savings and alternative sources.

The client loved the structure of the logo and brand, which functioned exactly as intended and, according to public feedback, was visually appealing.
