California Home & Garden, a charming family-run garden centre in the heart of Lower Hutt, has become a beloved destination for locals seeking personalised service, curated products, and a cozy in-house café. To stand apart from large chain stores and create a truly engaging experience, I developed a distinct brand voice that reflects the business’s friendly, community-focused ethos. All marketing materials were thoughtfully crafted to prioritise customer care, ensuring that shoppers felt well-informed and inspired. From playful signposts in the green spaces to clear in-store wayfinding and lively Instagram reels, the messaging consistently embraced a vibrant, approachable tone, encouraging customers to explore and enjoy gardening through every season.
