Returning for a second year in partnership with Visa Wellington On a Plate, we evolved the campaign from city-wide buzz to hyper-local storytelling, spotlighting Tommy’s agents, suburbs, and the venues they know best. Hidden Gems turned agents into storytellers and suburbs into stages, creating content that was rich in personality and place.

Returning for a second year in partnership with Visa Wellington On a Plate, we evolved the campaign from city-wide buzz to hyper-local storytelling, spotlighting Tommy’s agents, suburbs, and the venues they know best. Hidden Gems turned agents into storytellers and suburbs into stages, creating content that was rich in personality and place.

Each episode paired an agent with their favourite local bar, challenging them to craft a signature cocktail inspired by their patch. The result was more than just real estate content, it was neighbourhood-level storytelling, built on local insight and genuine connection. From the ingredients to the anecdotes, each story celebrated what makes Wellington a place worth calling home. We scaled the concept into an easy-to-share, evergreen format with Instagram Reels, eDMs, and blog content that could flex across suburbs, branches, and seasons. The weekly Tommy’s Tips series added a lifestyle layer, blending cocktail picks and suburb recommendations in a way that felt fresh and community-first.

We saw increased agent visibility across multiple branches and created a scalable, content-first model that lived well beyond the festival. From strategy to execution, I led the full campaign proving that personality-led content has the power to build brand, engage audiences, and reframe how real estate shows up in culture.
