They had a serviced plant contract that was expensive and not really meeting the needs of the staff; the planting was haphazard and there was little control over the variations in planting. This left the floor looking a little random, with different pots, planting and odd sizes. The new office design was based on a Scandinavian minimalist view, with light colours and wooden panelling to reflect light and provide open spaces. Plants were an important factor to break up the starkness, and to ensure some privacy in a very open plan office of around 100 people. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the main reception was designed to provide an immediate sense of welcome to guests exiting the lift to enter the new space. High quality tiling, subtle lighting, and clean lines were the driver, and pots were chosen to add definition to the space to both accentuate and provide contrast. The reception looks over the amazing harbour in Wellington, and plants that could handle the light, but that were hardy were a must. \r\n\r\nPlanting in the meeting rooms is similarly welcoming, with the design to ensure that they did not dominate the spaces. The same large white planters were used across the entire office, and a phased roll-out was agreed. Phase One was the introduction of a mix of plants (as advised by GivePlants) and with varying configurations to see how they coped with the light, and conditions. Phase Two was a double-down on planting and a roll-out of twice the number of plants around the office to provide privacy and to help with air quality.", "Outcome": "Reduced our operating costs with payback was 3 months.

Terabytes vision as a web design and development partner is to maximise our clients online offering, and ultimately grow their market share. What better way to capture a potential client’s imagination and illustrate our commitment to nurturing and growing their digital offering, than combining a strategic marketing piece with a living plant. So now we had a great marketing concept but how were we going to manage the fulfilment? This is where Jerrod and the Give Plants team worked their magic and made it so easy for both myself and our marketing team to make this direct mail concept a reality. Overall our direct marketing campaign produced some fantastic results for Terabyte. The campaign not only created a real buzz around our brand and work within the tourism sector, it has also helped deliver our sales team two new significant website projects as well as a number of other opportunities that we are currently pitching for. Throughout the entire process from our initial order through to delivery and after sales support, the team at Give Plants were fantastic. My advice to any company looking to execute an innovative marketing strategy is to give Jerrod and the team at Give Plants a call.
