  • PINEHURST SCHOOL | Hot Mustard

    < PINEHURST SCHOOL Preparing our kids to take their place in a global world. Overview As borders and boundaries diminish, opportunities for future leaders are growing. Schools that grasp the significance of this are set to produce these leaders. Pinehurst School is one such school. Its contemporary, open-minded and engaging approach to education, alongside a staggering array of subjects, form the first steps in a child’s educational journey. But academic achievement is one thing, having a sense of identity and belonging is another, with Pinehurst excelling at this to produce confident and secure young people. 'Which school for my child?' For most parents, this is a daunting decision. With school enrolments becoming an increasingly competitive business, educational institutions have had to adapt to an evermore corporate world. With this in mind, Pinehurst's inspiring story needed to be told - in a commercial, yet heartfelt way. < ALL CASE STUDIES >

  • KAURI PARK - WEB | Hot Mustard

    < KAURI PARK - WEB The power of UI/UX design in transforming user experiences. Overview We worked with Kauri Park, New Zealand's largest wholesale native and urban landscaping plant nursery, redesigning their website to reflect their brand evolution and enhance the user experience. We developed website content that is more relevant and engaging, and improved the website design so content is easy to navigate and digest. Another objective of the website improvements was to increase lead generation and provide the sales team with a website that backed their market positioning of being the leader in their industry. We had to move fast so we mapped out an iterative approach where we could implement changes quickly. We integrated the website with their CRM and implemented more opportunities to increase conversion rates. It is crucial to have accurate data set up behind the website to track user activity and conversions. We carried out an audit of their existing Google Analytics and Tag Manager accounts and added events and tagging to ensure best practices are being followed. We can now run reliable reports to provide insights and recommendations. This includes integrating activity across all channels such as Google AdWords, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram so we can effectively measure campaigns and continue to make changes that optimises the customer experience and drives results. https://www.kauripark.com/ < ALL CASE STUDIES >

  • ASK LIBBY - FARM IQ | Hot Mustard

    < ASK LIBBY - FARM IQ A complete, contemporary campaign. Overview As marketers, it's our job to cut through false stereotypes using relatable, targeted campaigns. In agriculture, one such stereotype is of a middle-aged, male-dominated industry. And yet, the representation of young women vs. young men within agricultural graduates is now fairly even, with evermore smart, experienced and progressive women asserting themselves in the industry. This is what FarmIQ were out to prove. Placing an emphasis on modern technology, Farm IQ is a respected farm management software developer keen to overcome that perennial software engagement problem - ease of use. Cue Libby, their Dairying Business Development Manager, who also just so happens to be a young, talented woman running a farm with her partner. In other words, the perfect fit to show users via live webinars how they can best benefit from the software. And, more to the point, the face of an integrated web coaching campaign, designed to drive people to register and to watch. < ALL CASE STUDIES >
