The company welcomed Andrew Worth into the team recently. Andrew started his career in crafting jewellery many years ago until he took the plunge to do something different and get into the events industry installing event structures and signage for major events. His experience and knowledge is an asset to the team and we’ve loved having him onboard.

We have welcomed a new truck into the family which is super exciting for the company and the team.

Celebrations Group recently installed a 3.5m high decorative bauble in New Plymouth’s City Centre Mall. The bauble was inspired by a feature Celebrations Group Director, Susan Tapper, saw in Germany. It is a one off piece and the only of it’s kind in New Zealand. Celebrations Group consulted with the New Plymouth City Centre Mall’s Marketing Manager Jo Stephenson, who said “I wanted to have something in the centre that had real wow factor and that customers would really like”. There was also a desire to invest in versatile centre piece for the mall that could be used to relate to things that would be going on in New Plymouth at different times of the year. “We wanted to kind of tie in with the Festival of Lights, but we’re going to keep them up so we can tie in with whatever’s going on. Like breast cancer awareness – we can light up pink, for Americarna was can be red white and blue, for example”. The made to order feature bauble was installed along with many other decorations in a mammoth effort by the Celebrations Group staff that ended at 3 a.m on Monday night. Initial feedback has been very positive from both the client and the Mall’s customers, “I posted a photo on our Facebook page yesterday, and every comment’s just been ‘beautiful’, or ‘amazing’ or ‘well done’ – it’s been nothing but positive” said Jo Stephenson.

Dubbed a ‘game changer’ for the future of marketing, Bayfair Shopping Centre has become New Zealand’s first to trial innovative hologram technology in a unique display which has children and adults flocking to the centre. Based in Tauranga, Bayfair has set up a 3D Holocube, which projects a flying dove, as part of its spring/summer campaign to mark the start of Kiwis’ favourite season. It is the first time the technology has been used not only in a shopping centre environment, but anywhere in New Zealand. Locals will be the first in the country to marvel at the technology, and Bayfair marketing manager Kylie McGregor says the technology is likely to soar to great heights. “In a market where it is increasingly difficult to stand out, the hologram technology will enable us to bring our marketing initiatives into the 21st century. I envisage being able to utilise this technology for upcoming fashion shows and all manner of activities, it’s really exciting and I love seeing people’s reactions to the flying dove. “We’ve added to the surprise and delight factor, by covering the 3D Holocube in a wooden crate-style box with peep holes for shoppers to peer through.” Proven successful and popular internationally, the technology is being used extensively across Europe with large brands such as Citroen and BMW for vehicle launches, and new product launches for Nike, Lancome and Bulgari Serpenti watches. Celebrations Group has exclusive rights to bring this technology into New Zealand, and managing director, Ron Fisher says the Holocube is an innovative device that projects a company’s brand and its product like no other platform, and is cost-effective. “Holocube has taken the magic behind hologram optical illusions, and adapted it to modern technology in what we believe is the future of marketing, with multiple uses across retail, events, offices, hotels, business conferences and trade shows. It combines the most advanced modern projection techniques, in contemporary and sleek housing, which enables contextual 3D projections for product-focused brands.” See below short video of the Holocube experience in Bayfair Shopping Centre:

There is much to celebrate in the New Zealand education system. New Zealand educational success has two dimensions – the achievement of students, teachers, schools, and community organisation. StandOut Design was privileged to be part of this new Endevour that actively celebrated educational achievements in New Zealand by providing a platform for schools, institutions and learning centres to showcase their contributions. It truly was a special occasion for students, teachers and the community to profile and applaud their own success and innovation.
