THE FERNERY ROOFTOP
MELTED CHEESE FESTIVAL
PR campaign, Photography
Papaya created a PR campaign for The Fernery’s Melted Cheese Festival that saw over 45 pieces of coverage. These included Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Time Out, Eat Drink Play and delicious.
Through a brainstorm with the client, the month-long event was established and consisted of a limited edition menu of the silkiest, stretchiest cheese dishes. These dishes ranged from Four Cheese Mac n Cheese to Cheesecake with seasonal fruits and berries for dessert. Guests were also able to enjoy flowing Lanson Champagne, Quatier Pinot Noir or Paxton Pinot Gris. The Festival ran every day for the month of February on the leafy rooftop.
The purpose of this campaign was to create a unique angle that would grab attention of online trend-driven and local publications that are read by the venue’s target market. Papaya’s approach was to engage with Sydney metropolitan, local and online publications where the team had fantastic PR contacts.
