our approach for gardens

Garden advertising needs to keep pace with the garden.

Show people there’s more to the garden.

Children’s gardens, splash pads, trails, restaurants, cultural features, and other hidden gems can completely change someone’s perception of the experience. Short-form video gives us a way to show what a visit can actually look like - and give people more reasons to come.

Build for the rhythm of the garden.

Garden advertising often happens in short, concentrated pushes around exhibits, blooms, and seasonal events. Build media and creative systems that can move quickly, with flexible creative and budgets sized to the opportunity.

Invest in influencer marketing.

Influencer marketing should be a regular part of the garden advertising plan, especially around seasonal events and short-term exhibits. Use creators to show the experience, reach new audiences, and create content that can be amplified through paid media.
