February & March 2025:

Our social media performed well, reaching 1 million people over the past two months, mostly organically, with 6 posts reaching 50-93K people. Posts highlighting our short walks to stunning viewpoints, road trip scenery (such as a video from Haast), and seasonal content like where to see glowworms and rare Rata blooming generated the most interest. In April and May, we are predicting strong growth, as our Autumn ads are live from 24 March to 23 May, contributing to increased visibility and engagement.
