Project Brief

The launch party showcased the Diamond Exchange partnership with model Brooke Hogan and reveal the collection to bloggers, social influencers and media. The launch had to make a splash and be the event everyone was talking about. Diamond Exchange were looking to increase social engagement and followers as potential future customers.

Project Need

The launch was an opportunity for Diamond Exchange to engage their target market and create a buzz channelled through Brooke Hogan's social followers, and the followers of the attendees- including model Steph Claire Smith, blogger Jamie Azzopardi and photographer Stefani Driscoll.
The association with these guests differentiated Diamond Exchange from its comparators.

User Experience

To create a fun and exciting launch night that would encourage the attending influencer models, bloggers and associates to share and publicise Diamond Exchange to their followers and friends.

Sustainability

Using the beautiful Diamond Exchange Showroom as the venue we created a lively night celebrating the collaboration with Brooke Hogan. With a DJ playing through the night, roving canapés, fairy floss and Brooke Hogan Collection branded balloons and cookies, there was plenty to engage the guests and keep the influencers posting throughout the night. The showstopper of the night was the unveiling of Brooke's jewellery collection, with the female guests relishing the opportunity to try on and take photos of.

Overall the night was a huge success, with the majority of attendees staying on for hours past the official end time. Diamond Exchange's Instagram gained 700+ new followers over night and engaged with 53,000 users, across all posts.

Post launch, the Diamond Exchange Sales Consultants have had record enquires, with customers citing Social Media as their source of referral.
